Two years after being tasked with commissioning a review of medical evidence surrounding gender-affirming care for trans youth, Utah’s own state health department has concluded that trans healthcare bans “cannot be justified.” The Republicans who commissioned the study aren’t too happy about it.
Back in 2023, Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed a bill that placed an indefinite “moratorium” on doctors prescribing gender-affirming care like hormone therapy and puberty blockers to trans youth. That bill ordered the Utah Department of Health and Human Services to compile their report in order to produce recommendations for the state government on whether or not to lift the moratorium.
This week, the department delivered their long-awaited, over 1,000-page report — which is dated August 6, 2024 — to Utah lawmakers. The report’s authors found that “the consensus of the evidence supports that the treatments are effective in terms of mental health, psychosocial outcomes, and the induction of body changes consistent with the affirmed gender in pediatric GD [gender dysphoria] patients.”
The authors added that “the evidence also supports that the treatments are safe in terms of changes to bone density, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic changes, and cancer.” Trans youth who had received gender-affirming care were within the bounds of normal, non-pathological ranges for these conditions.
y’all this is huge. please don’t “water is wet” all over it! I understand that we all already know this… The point is that the world doesn’t know or care or believe and so these studies really fucking matter!

beyond being an irritating sign of how sex-negative society at large is, "ugh this writer has a fetish!" is very much just a specific form of the general observation that writers tend to have recurring fixations. those recurring fixations can be anything from an incredibly broad theme like grief to just some really random object like skeletons and yet the only one people ever get up in arms over is when the focus of that fixation is overtly (or even just implicitly) sexual. nobody ever says "ugh! terry pratchett explored a relevant political issue through fantasy tropes again! evil man!" because that would be laughable. but god forbid one guy be a little bit into feet.

These two are absolutely correct and, if i may add;
I am someone who despises being around kids, and gets extremely upset when i see them sexualized. I once puked in my mouth because the neighbor dressed her 8 year old in a bikini. I get sick to my stomach when people talk about actually wanting kids. I dont hang around anyone who even cat calls someone who looks too young. Its gross; its fucked up.
Despite this, i am morbidly fascinated with huge age gaps in media and the detriment they have on people. I was exposed to sexual things below the age of 8, so i like reading stories where similar things happen. It makes me feel seen.
This is a similar case to most proshippers. You'll see very fast upon looking into these communities for a second that people even considering doing this stuff irl dont hide it at all.
Also, in censoring such media, like how there is an anti-pornography bill introduced in the US senate, people will eventually stomp on anything else they can. The intention is to get rid of the "morally" decepit first, so they can pave the way to get rid of anything abnormal. Why else do they call trans people "predators"?
real question,
why do proshippers love rape so much? do you guys want to rape someone irl?
why do you guys love pedophilia/grooming so much? have you ever had thoughts about doing those actions or irl minors?
why do you guys love incest so much? is this just a way for you to vent your frustration cause your sibling(s) /step sibling(s) rejected you for your literal illegal behavior?
why do you guys love all these crimes so much? why do you love it when someone calls sexual and predatory abuse attractive as if it hasn't traumatized billions of people word wide?
this is like a genuine question I'm being deadass
EDIT REAL QUICK LMAO
for the proshippers whining and bitching in my comments abt me getting a hobby just letting you know that I,
play guitar, play volleyball, I read books, write OC lore and my indie show lore (cause I wanna make showns n shit), I thrift, I collect physical media like dvds, vhs, ect, I regularly go to flea/farmers market, I draw regularly, I collect plushies, I make pins and sell them to kids at my school, and as of recently I've been thinking abt making loom bracelets and kandi again!
so how about you hoes find a better comeback and get some hobbies of ur own? thanks 😊🖕
#op i get not liking that stuff but be for fucking real for once#i dont like most of it either but you have to read between the lines because they'll go after your beloved yuri mext#and any erotica#also upon reading the tags and comments you seem genuinely unaware of actual people who simp over murderers#people into actual irl crimes will not hide it#ex. loud and proud zoos

Something really not talked about with trauma disorders is the paranoia.
Being scared and jumping to conclusions when people stand a little too close to you, not believing people’s compliments and thinking they have hidden motives, not believing when people tell you they like/love you, thinking that strangers you see on the street want to hurt you, etc.

Remember to;
Stretch your wings, tail, fins, and body
Moisture your scales
Fluff up your feathers
Pluck the bugs off your skin (or a friends)
Pick the crusties off your horns
Shine your halo
Sharpen your teeth and claws
Hide among the darkness
Create a huddle around those close to you
Trick some humans into thinking you’re one of them
Be free
Ration the food among your pack
Refine your burrow/nest/den
Hydrate yourself
Nourish yourself
