* 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

Reminder to people in #Europe and #Canada that there are a lot of #transgender and #disabled people in the US who could use your help right now. There are a few #charities which are going to need some heavy funding over the next couple years (the Trevor Project and ACLU come to mind), and we also have a #MutualAid hashtag right here on Fedi. Please also consider that servers in the US, like this one, are talking about relocating to a safer country, which may change our financials.
If, per chance, you'd like to help a particular transgender disabled moderator who may need to relocate in the next year, my KoFi is at...
OK so we're on #Trump 2.0 day nine
Can we take a broader view beyond "Trump hates #DEI" ?
Can we take a broader view beyond "Trump hates #Immigrants / #AsylumSeekers" ?
Can we take a broader view beyond "Trump hates #Transgender people" ?
#DonaldTrump hates all of those things, and more
But don't lose sight of the big picture: Trump is conducting nothing less than the wholesale destruction of the entire #USDemocracy -- piece by piece as he can -- in full service to #VladimirPutin and #Russia
Remember this: Trump and Putin at Helsinki 2018 and the famous "whipped like a dog" photo
It speaks volumes
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! 🏳️⚧️
The Guardian: *Trump signs executive order to curtail gender transition for people under 19*
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.]
The funny part about being non-binary is that cis people can't tell what gender I am.
It's always entertaining to see a cis person question their own sanity whenever they try to determine my gender based solely on looks.

What is the difference between honest ignorance (which we all have on any number of topics, and if we're humble, we learn) and prideful ignorance ("I know everything already, shut up")?
This man
He came to the #Wisconsin state legislature to speak against #genderAffirmingCare. Instead, after listening to testimony, he apologized and said he learned a lot
😲
On #socialMedia we are drowning in #bigotry
But, sometimes, you can educate those who will listen
