* gender-affirming care: transition-related surgeries, hormone therapy, puberty blockers, hair removal
* physicians should rethink barriers to gender-affirming care in light of principle of gender self-determination
* gender self-determination is a presumptive right
* transgender is a matter of diversity, not pathology

So that was 2024 and this is ORG’s annual review ✨
It was a year when it became increasingly clear why we need digital rights and ORG was there to bang the drum.
From Data Bills to Prevent. From e-Visas to data profiling for ads and AI. From predictive policing to an election…
Here’s the round-up ⬇️

So this is apparently NOT enough for mastodon.social to defederate Threads.
What a complete and utter betrayal.

Fucking #FASCIST! In Dutch we have a word for this, 'kinderbeul'. In English that translates literally to 'child executioner', although it has a slightly different meaning. But this time it's not far from the truth. This week is clearly showing what he is; A FASCIST DICTATOR!
For everyone having a #transgender child or teenager as a family member or friend, or being a transgender child/teenager yourself, if you somehow read this: You have an immense number of allies! 
We've got your back! 
Never forget! 🏳️⚧️

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/28/trump-executive-order-transgender-transition
"Donald Trump has signed another executive order aimed at the transgender community on Tuesday, this time prohibiting gender transitions for people under the age of 19. …"
[Sorry for using the Guardian, but I couldn't find anything reliable non-US so fast. I say this because the Guardian had some negative (opinion) articles in the past.]

I rarely use this account to promote things that are not directly related to the Interpeer Project, but this #FluConf article by @librecast's @dentangle is so much aligned with our own Values, I should have written it.

It's also why our projects are in close contact, and we're working on ways to collaborate as much as possible.
