We used to think that the benefit of GLP-1 drugs (like Ozempic) was dependent on weight loss.
Now we know so many health benefits have little to do with that!

A reminder: there is not a single housing market in America—not one city, state, or county—where someone relying on SSI can afford a one-bedroom apartment.
Deaths like these are always preceded by engineered abandonment. Disproportionate homelessness among people with disabilities is no accident.

High rents outpace federal disability payments, leaving many homeless
Supplemental Security Income, a federal program meant to be a financial floor for people unable to work, hasn't kept pace with inflation. Many recipients are homeless, unable to save for an apartment.

This question is weirdly hard, bc the starting place itself is a result of anti-trans propganda shaping the debate.
Trans surgeries, for all ages, are vastly rarer than hormone therapy only, which is itself rarer than social adjustments alone.
Youth trans surgeries are *incredibly* rare.

Genuinely curious: I thought that was the general guidance all along? Puberty blockers or hormone prescriptions for youth, but surgery later on?
