Bans don’t protect kids. They drain budgets, increase suffering, and deepen the crisis.
From 2018 to 2025, WV’s state data shows therapy costs rising steadily. 📈
Every dollar = another student forced into crisis care instead of thriving in school.
Legislators claim bans “save” women’s sports.
But WV’s own numbers prove the opposite: bans create hostile climates → higher therapy costs → drained education budgets.
That’s not protection. That’s harm.
These are not “activist” stats. They’re the state’s own FOIA records.
Courts and legislators now face a choice: ignore their own data, or honor Equal Protection.
