Opinion | Democrats’ election wins showed they don't need to hide their support for trans rights
Republicans repeated Trump's anti-trans strategy from 2024 and lost big. This should be instructive for Democrats.

SUPER COOL AND VALID REASONS TO TRANSITION, AN INCOMPLETE LIST:
1) I’ve had dysphoria my whole life and it ruined me. I dropped out of school and almost died before finally transitioning. Now that I am who I was always supposed to be, I can breathe easily for the first time.
2) It seemed cool.

This is why I loathe American doomers who tell their fellow American trans people to just flee to another country. The fight is global, and you're best positioned to win that fight in your own home.
QLD Health Minister has just issued a ministerial direction banning puberty blockers after the QLD Supreme Court today declared a different direction to be unlawful.
Ministerial Direction – Treatment of gender dysphoria in children and adolescents with hormone therapy
This direction implements a restriction on the provision of Stage 1 Treatment and Stage 2 Treatment to children and adolescents under 18 years of age with Gender Dysphoria.
