Don’t Just “Protect” Trans Youth, Actually Support Them A right-wing “parents’ rights” movement is sweeping the country, and its ramifications for young people and LGBTQ people have already proven disastrous. So why are so many on the left repeating their ...

Great article about the politics of trans kids and the family. Minors' access to gender affirming care is another example of why equality cannot be achieved through assimilation but requires systemic change and the reappraisal of foundational ideological structures like the family.

Thank you so much Ben!! That means a lot ☺️

I hope my article can make a good contribution to what sounds like a super cool unit!

OMG thank you so much André thats amazing 😊

Thank you! I definitely am planning to this weekend 😊

I don't know about disability historians, but there is a rich medical history literature on TB and how it affected people's life course. See 'Living in the Shadow of Death' (1994) or 'The White Death' (2000) 🙂

UK Supreme Court says legal definition of ‘woman’ excludes trans women, in landmark ruling | CNN The United Kingdom’s highest court ruled that the legal definition of “woman” excludes trans women, in a case with sweeping consequences for how equality laws are applied.

Another day, another blow to trans rights. In the UK, it is now not discriminatory to deny trans people access to shelters, gyms, restrooms, etc.

For the kind hearted people who think their are two sides to this issue, I urge you to think about the implications of rhetoric when enacted.

It breaks my heart to read this. These are such scary and uncertain times, but trans and queer people and our allies have and will make it through ❤️. Even in the darkest times, Queer folk have found ways to resist in order to be themselves.

'Outlier state': Queensland government blocks hormone treatment for minors LGBTIQ+ advocacy group Equality Australia said the move would have "catastrophic" impacts on transgender and gender diverse young people.

Your body, my choice. That is what this decision amounts to. Despite a review finding youth gender services in QLD are conforming to best practices, new prescriptions of HRT to minors through public providers have been halted by fiat. Today, Trump blocked pediatric gender-affirming care nationwide!
