Subject: Support HB 2258 – Protect Vulnerable Youth from Social Transitioning

Dear [Legislator’s Name],

I am reaching out to urge your support for HB 2258, the Vulnerable Youth Protection Act, which is crucial in ensuring the well-being and safety of minors by preventing social transitioning practices that can have long-term consequences on their mental and emotional health.

Children in Texas deserve protection from experimental and ideologically driven interventions that push them toward irreversible identity changes before they are fully developed. Social transitioning—including name and pronoun changes, along with altered school records and policies—can set children on a path toward medical interventions that they may later regret. HB 2258 ensures that vulnerable youth receive care and guidance rooted in truth, stability, and long-term well-being rather than social trends.

This bill recognizes that children experiencing identity confusion need compassionate support—not affirmation of a path that leads to potential medicalization. Many minors who experience gender dysphoria later reconcile with their biological identity, and policies that encourage social transitioning only reinforce confusion rather than helping them through it. Parents, not schools or government entities, should be the guiding force in their children's development.

By supporting HB 2258, you are taking a stand to protect vulnerable youth from life-altering interventions they are too young to fully comprehend. This legislation will ensure that children receive the care and guidance they need while safeguarding parental rights in important decisions regarding their upbringing.

I urge you to vote YES on HB 2258 and stand with Texas families in protecting our children from harmful policies that encourage premature social transitioning.

Thank you for your time and leadership on this critical issue.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
