New research shows trans kids on hormone treatment have less suicide ideation

A new report has shown that transgender youth who are on hormone treatment have a reduced level of suicide ideation.

The research builds upon earlier work, but this time examined a much larger cohort.

When the hatred of the TERFs is going to explode in their own faces: the United Kingdom could begin to restrict the entry of trans people to women's locker rooms and toilets, "being restricted based on their appearance"... a few TERFs come to mind that would not pass the screen.
Cuando a las TERFAS el odio les va a explotar en su propia cara: Reino Unido podría comenzar a restringir la entrada de personas trans a vestuarios y aseos femeninos, "quedando restringida en función de su apariencia"... se vienen a la cabeza unas cuantas TERFAS que no pasarían la criba.

I need to figure out something... The way things are going my current IT / architecture thing just isn't going anywhere right now. Freelance sites are either an outright con or full of people who can undercut me with ease. Job hunting for a 50+ trans woman is pretty much a no go. So what do I do...

Today is Trans Parent Day - a day to celebrate both parents who are trans and parents of trans people. It’s also an opportunity for us to speak about the pride we feel for our loved ones.

We’re a group of parents of trans children and adults who care about their future.

I know I’ve been largely absent from SM for a while, truth be told I don’t really have a lot to add right now and I’m very much in survival mode just getting through each day. Struggling to find contracts while also dealing with the hate of the world is just more than I can do right now

When I was hate crimed in July and had to flee to my car and lock the door from the violent, frothing man on the petrol forecourt (Police investigation at Clouseau levels) - It was not social media or a lack of mindfulness driving the hate. It was Transphobia; the same sort that Labour have embraced

Brianna Ghey was not murdered in cold blood by a phone. She was murdered in cold blood with knives by two 15-year-old kids who grew up in the toxic hate-filled atmosphere of British society, hatred fed by the corporate media and government far more than social media.
Most of us have pathologically useless parents who don't care to learn about protecting us properly, but this dogshit really takes the cake.
