The Trump admin is about to release a junk science report attempting to justify reducing trans peoples' ability to obtain gender-affirming care. IT IS GOING TO BE FULL OF LIES AND DISTORTIONS. We will need cis help; trans voices are seldom taken seriously. www.erininthemorning.com/p/the-trump-...
Literally every single major medical org in the US-- ALL the big household names like the AMA, ANA, etc-- support gender-affirming care for trans adults AND CHILDREN. Here, in this thread, is the proof. American Medical Association statement: www.ama-assn.org/press-center...
American Psychological Association statement: www.apa.org/news/press/r...
American Nurses Association statement: www.nursingworld.org/news/news-re...
American Psychiatric Association statement: www.psychiatry.org/getattachmen...
American Academy of Pediatrics statement: publications.aap.org/aapnews/news...
NOTE: There are other, smaller medical orgs, sometimes with “copycat names” (like "American Association of BLAH" instead of "American BLAH Association"), which make anti-transgender statements. These are largely highly political groups which do not represent the larger medical community’s consensus.
The fact is that scientific consensus throughout medicine, psychology, and psychiatry (including in the realm of pediatrics-- i.e., for the care of trans kids) is overwhelmingly in favor of allowing transgender care. Any org OR GOVERNMENT attempting to say otherwise is LYING!

Trans treatment includes psychological evuation and is monitored medically when it is available. This is not "wanting to save our children", this is instead "control our children". The MAGA cult by the man occupying the WH wants everybody control by his desires..
I just didn’t understand being this concern fixated on such a small population of people they never probably knowingly encounter. It’s so weird.
