Introduction
The Gender Affirming Care Ban was upheld in North Dakota. Gender affirming care is medically necessary and supported by every major medical association. We can survive today, but it means finding community, exploring resources, and sharing them.
You can find all sorts of LGBTQ+ Events, Opportunities, and Support Groups - on the LGBTQ+ Event Tab. There are so many resources for spreading and sharing hope below as well and message of encouragements from folks local to North Dakota.

You are loved, valued and cherished by so many North Dakotans. Stay connected with your safe people and know history will judge this chapter with shame. Sending virtual hugs to anyone who needs one. Susie You have a better understanding of who you are as a human than most adults do. I know it's hard and you're probably tired. We see you, we hear you, we love you, and we will continue to support you and stand beside you. YOU ARE IMPORTANT!! Milo I live in very rural Minnesota not far from y’all. I figured out I wasn’t just nb but needed a name change too. I just went with it and it’s gone really well. It’s a miracle. Yall are miraculous where you are and as you are, however that looks safe right now. We queers have made it through many terrible times and we are strong enough to get through this too. You are loved and supported and things are bound to get better. Sierra Every human deserves to be their authentic self so much beauty in learning to embrace and love ourselves! I love you and embrace you! Fina There are people out here ready to accept your true self, love you, and to keep working until the state gets it right. This is a setback, its not the end. Megan You are more than enough. You’re absolutely beautiful and perfect because you are you! Not everyone can be their authentic selves. Stay brave.

You are not alone. You are loved. You know who You are. Don't let anyone tell you differently. Katie "Being a human is hard work, but it's easier to carry that load together. Keep showing up and extending grace for yourself and others."—Mx. Pucks A'Plenty Remember that you are seen, you are loved, and we're here to fight for you and help you carry that load. You are never alone Jessica This isn’t a step back, it’s a step sideways and in no way changes your validity as a perfect human being. Trans people may be feeling a lot of negativity right now, but it’s push back because they have also never been so accepted, loved, and visible in our society before. We will keep pushing too. I’m sorry this time and place gets hard, but we are with you. Michael "see you tomorrow" -Hope and a promise to keep existing Corey You are who you are. Nobody can take that away from you. Be your authentic self Vicki I wish I could give each of you a big hug. You’re so courageous to be exactly who you know you are in this world today.
