Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

By all rights I should be eating popcorn and streaming CNN right around now. Instead I just outlined a new project and made a huge dent in the memoir project. Let me know when y’all catch up on exactly how evil folks turn out to be. I’ve been telling y’all since 1999ish.

This is the life I’ve always wanted.
These five remarkable centenarians credit their longevity to eating well, Japan’s affordable health care, exercise and family support, and something else: their work. “If I die here, in my workshop, I will be happy,” said 103-year-old Seiichi Ishii. nyti.ms/4nv7Tvf

Yesterday I learned that my weird little family shows up and piles on when one of their own is in a bad place. It was beautiful and I kind of pity the person in authority that had to handle us.

At midnight, Republicans shut YOUR government down instead of protecting YOUR health care. They left town, choosing higher costs for Americans. Democrats stayed in D.C. — choosing YOU: fighting to stop cuts, lower costs, and save health care.

There are a few books I read almost every year; there are others I hold just as dear because they were the distraction I needed.
Earlier this year @jeffvandermeer’s Project X got me through a series of long dark nights. This time it was @chuckwendig’s Wanderers that’s been keeping me sane-ish.

Doggo seemed to turn a corner last night and is much more her sweet self after sleeping almost 24 hours straight through. I couldn’t be more relieved. And I couldn’t be more proud of my little family for rallying around her and showing one another so much love and support.
