  Probably :Blobhaj_Ani_Hearts: siblings will have seen this already From Erin Reid “In a landmark two-year review, the Health Council of the Netherlands—the country’s highest scientific advisory body—has delivered its verdict on gender affirming care for transgener youth. The council’s conclusions were universally positive for gender-affirming care: it endorsed the treatments as careful, lawful, and effective, framed quick access as a matter of the right to health, warned that “doing nothing”...

  Such an absolute badass Austin Killips One of the tiny number of trans women athletes whose handful of successes propelled them into an unwanted shitstorm, and led to bans on trans women competing at national and international level. If you saw the work she put in, and her absolute dedication to the sport you’d know her success was well deserved I hope that her efforts and visibility are not for nothing And that the next generation of trans women are able to compete and enjoy their sport...

  “New NHS England Review Excluded 97% Of All Trans Studies To Say Care Doesn't Work The new review has led to a ban for HRT through the NHS England system under the age of 18” “On Monday, NHS England published 10 evidence reviews purporting to show that the quality of evidence for hormone therapy for transgender youth is low.

  From the Anti-Authoritarian Playbook; “The targeting of trans people - and specifically trans youth and trans women in sports - is not a policy agenda. It is a strategic operation. Understanding it as policy produces the wrong response. Understanding it as strategy produces the right one. Jason Stanley, in How Fascism Works, identifies the targeting of vulnerable minorities as a core mechanism of authoritarian consolidation. The function is not primarily to harm the targeted group, though that...

  Elodie is pretty sure no one here has been through this process (grc overseas route)? She started (again) the application process yesterday, having finally got all the docs certified etc, only to find that there is no longer a specific overseas route form on the gov website. She doesn’t know when this changed 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ A search found a few references to the forms but all the links are broken. Applying for the DE SBGG took months because the rules didn’t understand the specific situation (the lov...

  Do we as trans people suffer from collective trauma? I think yes Everyday we see news reports from places where the legislators are seeking to erase our existence Of our siblings being murdered Of another sports governing body banning us from competing Of another whole country banning gender affirming medical care We hear about how our friends have been harassed, …treated poorly by medical staff…. ….been misgendered and deadnamed by their family…. …been kicked out of their home by...

  Gaht affects all parts of the body….. “Together, these five studies suggest that sex hormones are major influences on cardiovascular physiology and that for trans people on HRT, heart function closely aligns with hormonal sex. To quote the authors of the Nature Medicine study on the plasma proteome, “sex hormones exert broadly comparable physiological effects across” chromosomal backgrounds. Other studies suggest that cardiovascular health is not the only physiologic system that alters its fu...
