#transitioning

#Trump issues EO stop federal support of any #gender #transitioning for those under age 19, and threatens federal litigation to prevent it, period. Any university, hospital, or medical group that gets any federal funding can and will be targeted here.

Why age 19 when age of consent / adulthood is 18? Because it sets a precedent for banning transition care all for adults, eventually.

Dark times for #trans folk and the friends and family who love them.

AP News · Trump signs order aimed at curtailing gender transitions for people under 19By ZEKE MILLER

Thinking now of the terrible #tsunami 20 years ago, i just had an unexpected realisation. In the early Oughties when i #transitioned [2004 - 2006], i used two separate Thai surgeons, for different surgeries, two separate trips [both 2006]. One was at #Chonburi, t'other at #Phuket. The latter is qed coastal, & whilst the former is not, it was a common practice that some of the patients before & after surgery during recovery once released from hospital, would stay at a hotel on the coast [then commute back to Chonburi for the checkups]. Thus, afaict, it is highly probable that, as an unknown statistic, a fraction of the people killed by that terrible event would have been #transitioning #transwomen recovering from their respective ops. Damn.
