A group of more than 50 notable transgender Americans, including the actor Elliot Page and director Lilly Wachowski, filed an amicus brief Wednesday in support of a lawsuit seeking to overturn a law in Arkansas that would limit health care for trans youth. The friend-of-the-court brief, filed by the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund, comes amid a lawsuit against Arkansas’s first-in-the-nation law, which prohibits doctors from providing medically necessary treatment to transgender youth or referring patients to gender-affirming care. Doing so, the group said, would deny young trans kids happiness and joy in their lives. Page wrote about his experience after transitioning saying, “I couldn’t believe the amount of energy I had, ideas, how my imagination flourished, because the constant discomfort and pain around that aspect of my body was gone."
