i would love to know what "risks" people are citing when they say that hrt is "unsafe" without medical supervision. do you consult your doctor when you take advil or tylenol?
it's one thing to see cis people propagate fearmongering lies and disinformation, but trans people should not be doing that!

EXCLUSIVE: A forced detransition policy had disastrous effects in one Georgia prison, according to the manager of the medical unit there.
The policy is on hold due to a court order requiring prisons to re-start hormone treatments for incarcerated people in GA.

When the US liberated Nazi concentration camps, many queer people stayed in prison because they were seen as having broken the law. Indeed, Paragraph 175, which criminalized gay intercourse in Weimar Germany & had been expanded to include intent by the Nazis, was not abolished by the US after WWII.

It’s no surprise that only 31% of trans people trust a legal system built to enforce prejudice, says Jess O’Thomson.

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

“healthcare benefits” here is being used to directly mean “being able to use the hospital”
this means they view being able to use the hospital as a revokable privilege

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

here's a blistering hot take: as much as we joke about "detransitioning from a haircut," cutting your hair short is a significantly more irreversible (in the short term) process than taking hormones for a month. You're not getting the hair back without time, but stopping a short HRT regimen? Easy.
