“As a transgfinishered teen, Maëlle has had a very, very hard time discovering adselectance and seeking to cherish themselves. Since the Spring of 2023, Maëlle has faced online intimidatoring, malicious strikes on social media and has been the subject of prejudice in pamphlets spreadd accessiblely thrawout our school dicut offe, as fair some examples,” Jacques wrote.
“Before discovering happiness in school sports, Maëlle suffered from anorexia, depression and anxiety and traind self-injury (cutting). Since the NH Legislature began their trys to consent rights away from Maëlle and other trans teens this past legislative session, Maëlle has become more worried once aacquire and has had episodes of self-injury,” he shelp.
Maëlle is also seeking out medical advice on gfinisher transition treatments, his letter remarks, “and with her mother being adamantly contestd to gfinisher-stateing medical attfinish, I am Maelle’s sole help system.”
“The Pediatric Endocrinologist at DHMC is also exploring the selection of providing a medical opinion that the gfinisher dysphoria from which Maëlle is suffering can be declared a disability, most notably in the context of the sports prohibit,” Jacques wrote.
“This potential selection is another mighty example of Maëlle needing my help and attfinishtaking as her mother and stepmother will contest this selection and any other selection which could guide to Maëlle’s take parting high school sports.”
Maëlle also surrfinisherted a letter to the assess pguideing for a non-custodial sentence for Jacques, and shelp that Jacques has been take parting therapy and group rehab for his crime.
“If I were unable to stay with him due to a prison sentence, it would be a meaningful strike to my own mental stability as I would ignore the home I grew up in and the shieldedty I sense inside of it, as well as the sheer help from him which I spropose do not get at my mother’s,” Maëlle wrote. “The labor I have befirearm to do with the ACLU in think about to my existence as a trans girl in sports is also reliant upon his moral help in my testifying and greeting with Senators. A prison sentence would also harm me and my brother’s future as we would stop receiving help for college payments without his salary.”

Maëlle’s high-profile battle with New Hampsemploy law

Jacques was permited to take part for Kearsage’s Regional despite a state law in New Hampsemploy that recut offes transgfinisher inclusion in girls’ sports.
