⚠️TRANS PEOPLE WITH CALIFORNIAN HEALTHCARE: YOUR SURGERIES ARE FREE⚠️

This official page from the California Department of Insurance states "health insurance policies are prohibited from arbitrarily excluding coverage for gender affirmation services including (but not limited to) hormone therapy, mental health services and surgical services."

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!

idk but saying trans kids can't go on hrt until their autism/ADHD/depression goes away is kinda like saying 'you can't go on antidepressants until you don't have depression anymore'

"If *southern state* didn't want to die in *horrible catastrophe" maybe they should've voted better 😂"

Fuck queer people who live in the south then. Fuck black people who've been in the southern states for generations. Fuck homeless people who can't get out and have no shelter. Fuck poor people who can't move. Fuck disabled people who need to be close to support systems. Fuck minorities who don't want to move out of their homes I guess. All because you don't understand gerrymandering and have a neoliberal complex. Instead of being a self-righteous ass how about you think for 2 fucking seconds whether the general population needs to die for the policies enacted by governmental agencies they don't have control over.

thinking about Nex Benedict and wondering if my old trans friend who I grew apart from is too

I (a cis-woman) have been "clocked" as a trans woman by one of these scumbags who claim they're "always able to tell". Yeah he asked about my genitals from my sister and then threatened to beat me up. Oh yeah he is my step brother btw. Oh sure man, tell me again about how allowing transwomen to use women's restrooms and locker rooms jeopardizes my safety as a "biological female".

I feel like people aren't understanding that the Tiktok ban and other laws targeting the internet usage of children are also queer bans

It is an attempt to stop children from being able to access online information and resources relating to queerness and any number of progressive ideas. They want to prevent kids from knowing about being gay, being trans, and being accepting of those things.

How many of us realized we were queer because of the content we could access? How many of us finally found a name for feelings we had always had by sheer coincidence while just vibing on the internet? They want to prevent that discovery.

Remember, they see being queer as "confusion/delusion/perversion", not as something that naturally exists. So they are trying to eliminate the "cause".

are we actually genuinely going insane now?

For any luvvies living in the states (specifically Idaho) they just passed some more laws further restricting and endangering our beautiful trans people.

A win for trans rights!!!!!! 🏳️‍⚧️

The Selbstbestimmungsgesetz (self-identify law) allows trans and intersex people to change their name and gender in the civil registry much more easily than before by submitting a self-disclosure form. This will be possible starting on the 1. November 2024 while the self-disclosure forms can be submitted as early as 1. August 2024 because of the 3 month waiting period in the law. After a name and gender change the person will be barred from changing it again for one year. People of ages 14-17 will need the approval of a legal guardian to change their gender and name while for children under 14 the legal guardians can submit a form for the change.

So Missouri is introducing a bill that would make it so teachers would be charged as sex offenders and put on the registry for "contributing to social transition" of trans youth. 

This is so completely fucked up. A teacher can be charged with a class E felony for using they/them pronouns. 

They’re making aiding trans people punishable by law. They’re making it illegal to help trans people. They want to make it impossible to support us. They want to cut us off from all resources in society. They want to starve us out.

some good news!! the spanish state's ministry of equality has finally passed one of the most progressive trans laws on the planet, shielded free and universal access to abortion and banned conversion therapy and genital surgery for intersex babies, among a lot of other feminist policies. the minister of equality irene montero gave a speech thanking spain's lgtb and trans associations for helping her draft these legislations. couldn't be more proud!!

the euphoria of moving from a bright red state to a bright blue state is so relieving oh my god

This is a fundamental safety issue.

I can't believe it. They passed the new trans law in Finland, allowing adult trans people to change their legal gender without having to provide lengthy documentation from doctors. It passed. I am so fucking happy. I know people who've been waiting for years to get their gender recognized by a doctor to get treatments. I can't believe it. Really can't.
