For nearly three years, counselor(咨询师)s through the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for LGBTQ+ individuals answered more than 1.5m calls, texts and online chats – until the Trump administration terminate(终止)d it in July 2025. But now, more than a year later, the service is back online(重新上线).
近三年来，988自杀与危机生命线中专门服务LGBTQ+群体的咨询师接听了超过150万通电话、短信和在线聊天——直到特朗普政府于2025年7月将其终止。但如今，一年多过去，该服务已重新上线。
The federal agency that oversee(监管)s the lifeline, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (Samhsa), shutter(关闭)ed the specialized national lifeline service known as the “press 3” option for financial reasons(出于财政原因) last year, though critics cited political motivations. After pressure from activists, LGBTQ+ organizations and politicians, Congress approved legislation to allocate(拨款) more than $33m to services for queer(酷儿) youth, including to the specialized lifeline. While suicide prevention and LGBTQ+ rights groups celebrate the reinstatement, details about the rollout and how the counselors will be trained remain shrouded in secrecy.(尽管自杀预防和LGBTQ+权利团体对恢复服务表示欢迎，但关于服务推出和咨询师培训的细节仍笼罩在秘密之中。)
负责监管该生命线的联邦机构——药物滥用与心理健康服务管理局（Samhsa）去年以财政为由关闭了这项名为“按3”选项的全国性专项生命线服务，但批评者认为背后有政治动机。在活动人士、LGBTQ+组织和政界人士施压后，国会通过立法，向包括该专项生命线在内的酷儿青少年服务拨款逾3300万美元。尽管自杀预防和LGBTQ+权利团体对恢复服务表示欢迎，但关于服务如何推出以及咨询师将如何接受培训的细节仍笼罩在秘密之中。
According to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the department “remains fully aligned with(完全遵循) President Trump’s Executive Orders to defend women from gender ideology extremism and restore biological truth(恢复生物学真相) to the federal government”, a spokesperson said in a statement to the Guardian. But LGBTQ+ rights groups and allies question how the department’s directive(指令) will affect the service’s inclusivity(包容性). HHS did not respond to repeated requests for details about policy changes to the service. The Guardian messaged the press 3 option through its live chat function following its reinstatement, during which a counselor offered gender affirming sentiments, asking questions such as: “what makes you feel most yourself and affirmed in your identity?”(《卫报》在“按3”选项恢复后通过其在线聊天功能发送了消息，期间一名咨询师表达了性别肯定的话语，并问道：“什么让你感觉最像你自己、最肯定自己的身份？”) Toward the end of the chat, the counselor encouraged remaining in “spaces where you feel seen, heard and most definitely the safest”.
据卫生与公众服务部（HHS）一名发言人向《卫报》发表的声明，该部门“仍完全遵循特朗普总统的行政令，保护女性免受性别意识形态极端主义侵害，并在联邦政府恢复生物学真相”。但LGBTQ+权利团体及盟友质疑，该部门的指令将如何影响服务的包容性。HHS未回应多次关于该服务政策变化的置评请求。《卫报》在“按3”选项恢复后通过其在线聊天功能发送了消息，期间一名咨询师表达了性别肯定的话语，并问道：“什么让你感觉最像你自己、最肯定自己的身份？”聊天接近尾声时，咨询师鼓励对方留在“让你感到被看见、被倾听、并且绝对最安全的空间里”。
