Anyone else find that the lines between fandom, religion, mythology, and pop culture have been blurring gradually since the 1900s?

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!

The Nakba Day commemorates the Nakba (catastrophe) every year on May 15 That means two days ago

On this day in 1948, the establishment of the Israeli occupation state was declared, and the forced displacement of more than 700,000 Palestinians from their lands and villages began, a process known as the "Nakba."

EVERYONE(!) I’m blazing this post because at this pace we might barely hit 1,000,000 signatures—or just fall short. PLEASE reblog this post, no matter where you are from, so we can reach as many EU citizens as possible and end this horrible practice!

ugh i hate how strongly i feel some things so often. no matter the feeling: loneliness & depression, love & infatuation, frustration & anger...whatever may be, it hurts to feel these things so strongly. especially the times when it's difficult to express it for one reason or another.

emotions may drive even the sanest of sentient souls mad. please take caution in your feelings and stay safe.

passing this along, would be great to see it signal boosted & monetarily boosted. this is a fundraising campaign for Marcy Rheintgen, the first trans woman to be arrested under Florida's bathroom law.

as a protest, she mailed letters to lawmakers in the state announcing her intention to use a specific women's bathroom, saying when she would use it, and including a photo of herself. cops tried stopping her before she went in, she went in anyway and washed her hands, and she was subsequently arrested. she now needs help with legal fees & her fight against the law.

EDIT: relevant to this, here's an AMA with her where she gives some very important context to everything: https://www.reddit.com/r/MtF/comments/1kfnwa7/im_marcy_rheintgen_the_trans_girl_who_got/

PLEASE SUPPORT THIS PALESTINE BENEFIT COMPILATION TODAY

https://songsofresistance.bandcamp.com/album/songs-of-resistance

support this please! especially today, since Bandcamp won't take their share of the money today. every single cent of money given to Palestinians could mean the difference between life and death for someone.

(also i'm on this compilation if that helps👀)
