“They’re really scary,” Amy shared with interviewers, via People. “Some of them, in particular, are denying medical services to trans youth. Those are life-saving medical treatments. These bills could cause the deaths of children, and that’s really sad to me, and it’s really frightening.”
Amy also said she was “really honored to be here and really grateful that this was being celebrated, that the Trans people are being celebrated in a place like this,” before providing trans youth with a message of encouragement.
“Hang in there. I think that this backlash right now is temporary,” Amy said. “I think that the country overall is on our side, and getting more so every day, and I think it’s not gonna be too long until these sorts of bills are seen as a thing of the past.”
