so, in short:

• if we all get loud for trans rights and actually organize a movement, we can win this one

• if we don’t, then a de facto ban on care is assured in us law within the next six months

in other words, you found yourself in history

now’s a moment to be the hero

really.

My doctor changed my diagnosis to "Endocrine Disorder" in November without me asking--because he saw the writing on the wall.

Ask your doctors to do the same--Just to protect your access to life-saving medication.

Reminder to contact your doctor and change your diagnosis from whatever variant of "trans" and put "unspecified hormone disorder" or something similar

The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans.

Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect.

I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as “procedures.”

im extremely surprised by how much this site has picked up though! last time i posted my work it felt kind of dead
