[Replace text in brackets with personal details.]
Dear Congressman Josh Riley,
I am writing as a constituent to urge you to cosign H.R. 2487, the Transgender Health Care Access Act.
This bill would help ensure that transgender people can receive appropriate, evidence-based medical care and that doctors will be able to provide that care according to established medical standards. Healthcare decisions should be made by patients, families, and medical professionals, not by politicians.
Protecting access to care is not only a matter of public health, but also of fairness, dignity, and basic civil rights.
[Insert reasons why it would help the community, or your personal connection to this issue.]
Thank you for your time and consideration on this urgent matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[Your Full Address]

The Honorable Josh Riley
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
H.R.2487 - Transgender Health Care Access Act
To improve access to evidence-based, lifesaving health care for transgender people, and for other purposes.
