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!

Disabled trans woman in need of help again

hi, i am a trans woman who has been struggling to find work and income, a struggle that is made harder by a painful chronic illness. some of my symptoms have recently flared up/worsened to the point i can barely keep up with my own daily tasks. i am going to try and get on disability again bc i genuinely can not see myself working extensively in a state like this
i primarily need help with groceries and medication copays, in addition to regular bills and other life necesssities. i know a lot of us are hurting rn but if you have even a few bucks to spare, it would go a long way. i just need to get through.
hopefully this doesnt take too long but i hope you will all be patient and understanding in this time. anything helps, i love you! i set a goal based on how much i would probably need to get myself thru the next month or two

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor
