* 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.
