Question to trans women:

For years I've been told that when starting blockers and estrogen, the sexual drive is disappearing for an extended time. Was that something you all experienced? In my case I just got way more horny and I wonder how come I'm weird again?

Cervical cancer can be eliminated as a public health problem, but barriers remain. The WHO’s 90–70–90 strategy depends on inclusive screening and care for everyone with a cervix.
Equity is essential to elimination.

Publicly funded gender-affirming care is great for the economy A new study in Australia has found that increasing public funding for gender-affirming care could save the government millions.

Well, this is not something I'd ever considered looking at.

Australian researchers literally bring the receipts to the table, finding covering trans healthcare would save the gov money.

Tens of millions. For surgery alone.

Inclusive cervical cancer screening means trust, clear communication and respect.
Healthcare professionals play a key role in ensuring screening works for women, trans and non-binary people with a cervix.

Underserved communities face barriers to cervical cancer screening that go far beyond healthcare.

Equitable prevention means addressing structural barriers.

Cervical cancer is largely preventable, yet screening access remains unequal across Europe.
Vaccination and regular screening save lives for everyone with a cervix.
Equity in prevention matters.

Where Did the Evidence Go? How medical institutions retreated from trans care — and who pays the price

The evidence didn’t disappear.
The science didn’t reverse.

Institutions stepped back — and trans people are paying the price.

I wrote about how institutional hesitation becomes a weapon against trans care.
