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.

I’m so happy that my kid is finally of an age where dragging her around interesting places is fun for us all. Not just us going to places she finds fun or her being bored while we try and have fun.
We can have fun mamma & kid outings.
I suspect it’s a narrow window but I will ENJOY!

Discovering how much body dysmorphia I have as a cis woman is interesting, at my age.
Makes me wonder what other ideas I have about myself that are also wrong.

So, basically, a pretty little trans lassie could use the loos just fine (as she should, BTW), but a strapping cis woman, like, say, an international rugby player, because those ladies are gloriously solid in the shoulder and leg, would not be allowed to.

The new code of practice on access to single-sex services cannot gain legal force until it gets sign-off from ministers.

A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women.
Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻

I learned so much from listening to her and other disabled people about the perniciousness of ableism. I learned how to check my own ableism and learned the language to talk about it with other able bodied people because of her.
It is an honor to have been alive at the same time as Alice Wong.
