Summary
Transgender Americans are stockpiling hormones and researching DIY solutions amid fears that President-elect Trump may restrict gender-affirming healthcare, as he pledged during his campaign.
Online communities are sharing resources, with some turning to nontraditional sources or synthesizing hormones despite risks like inconsistent dosages and legal consequences.
Advocacy groups are offering legal support for those self-managing care, while healthcare providers emphasize that access remains unchanged for now.
The World Health Organization has called for expanding self-care guidelines to include gender-affirming therapy, reflecting a growing global conversation on healthcare access disparities.
We’ve failed our trans brothers and sisters so miserably.
I’m so sorry.
Yeah but people who don’t actually care about saving lives in Gaza “sent a message” to the DNC that the DNC was never going to listen to in the first place. So, worth it. /s
As much as I despise those folks, it’s much wider than them. Almost ten million Americans decided they were willing to turn out in 2020 but not in 2024.
It’s a failure on a level far deeper than some terminally online morons who wanted to further multiple genocides so they could feel sufficiently pure.
Unfortunately, we’ll never know how much impact the BlUeMAgA screechers had, words are powerful and they posted them wherever they could get away with. Did they reach all those 10 million people? Probably not, but I also wouldn’t say they had an “insignificant” amount of influence (like they claim now, after the election ofc)
They’re just closeted MAGAts AFAIC now
To be fair to at least some of them, it was made even harder for people, especially poor people, to vote in 2024 than it was in 2020. So much rat fuckery at work.
I agree, we have failed them. Catastrophicly in fact, but I’m sure we disagree on how we have failed them exactly.
