For non-US folks: this is the cost to simply have access to non-urgent healthcare. For that price a month, they’ll pay $30 to see their doctor, as opposed to $100-150 depending on city and quality. That’s just the visit, not any treatments, tests, or medications.

Jeg tenker på dette hver gang jeg husker hvordan Riksen uten god begrunnelse gjorde kjønnsbekreftende behandling utilgjengelig for nesten hele befolkning ved å kalle det «utprøvende».

It’s so simple, actually. Inclusivity.

Oslo universitets­sykehus felt for ulovlig forskning på transpersoner Forskere ved Oslo universitetssykehus har forsket på transpersoner uten godkjenning. Nå er de felt for alvorlige brudd på forskningsetiske normer.

Tidligere i år meldte vi et forskningsprosjekt til redelighetsutvalget ved OUS og UiO.

Nå er forskerne felt for alvorlige brudd på forskningsetiske normer.

Gutted: How Deeply Trump Has Cut Federal Health Agencies More than 20,500 workers have left or been pushed out of federal health agencies, a ProPublica analysis found. Staffers say the cuts will leave their agencies less equipped to conduct studies, perform...

ICYMI: @propublica.org wanted to know how much federal health agencies had been gutted. The administration wouldn’t tell us, so we figured it out our own way.

Lots of charts and deep reporting on what this means for you:

I wish that you would take the time to post the synopsis you write on IG as a thread here, so I could more easily share it! This post was inspirational. Can’t wait to read the whole thing as I backed your kickstarter 🔥

I feel like at a time where corporate and political allyship, esp performative allyship, is completely evaporating, regular people showing solidarity can be really impactful, esp when it’s ppl with some level of power.

The same NYT that regularly interviews transphobes for their articles on transgender rights? Whose articles were cited 6 times by the majority opinion in support of a trans healthcare ban, in the recent Tenn v Skrmetti Supreme Court case? That NYT?

And they only treat people under 30. With this new ban, that limits the tiny fraction of non-binary people who have access to care even more.

Will Norway’s health department listen to the largest patient organization for a historically marginalized group that was forced to undergo sterilization to simply access medical treatment not even a decade ago? I hope so!

I am simply not sure that Norway’s government is ready to fight disinformation that has already been tested, improved upon and successful in the USA.

Even Norway’s socialist rag Klassekampen dismissed SPLC’s classification of SEGM as a hate group (based on…their interview with SEGM)

That same health clinic is also the only one to provide GAC for non-binary people, whom the national clinic refuse to treat at any age. Despite our right to care being written in Norwegian law.

Can other countries who’ve based their actions on the UK’s oppression be included in the report, such as Norway? Which has in effect banned public coverage for all non-binary people and severely restricted care for binary trans adults and minors?

It’s almost like @nytimes.com is glad it was cited in the ruling, and wants to make sure to provide more sources for future transphobic court decisions.

Also, for trans folks: if you’re wondering “what would it take for people to stop telling me about ‘the science’ while they’re being transphobic?” I’m sad to report you can have a PhD in biology, you can study steroid hormones and how they produce developmental variation for that PhD, won’t matter.

Sotomayor points out the similarities between the Skrmetti ruling allowing discrimination against transgender people's medical care to Virginia's argument for its interracial marriage ban in Loving.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

SCOTUS Allows For Trans Discrimination In Medical Care: A Full Analysis Of Today's Ruling Today, SCOTUS released its ruling on Skrmetti, allowing Tennessee to ban transgender healthcare. The ruling was both devastating and limited, leaving many fights unsettled.

1. Today, SCOTUS allowed for bans on trans care in a devastating, though limited, ruling in Skrmetti.

It ruled discrimination against gender dysphoria is not trans discrimination, and used the same rationale used by VA to defend its interracial marriage ban.

“every day in the media, online, in schools and clinics, and in the social milieu in which trans children must find a way, despite all the odds, to survive, to grow, and to endure.”

If there’s one thing allies could do this month, it’s understand how some leftwing organizations or businesses, like @nytimes.com, are actually incredibly transphobic and have caused real, tangible harm to LGBTQ+ rights.

“I’ve worked with a person for a long time so they’re good at what they do, and everyone else is wrong” is not good reporting. This is good reporting and contextualizes the NYT’s extensive transphobia:

I hope they take the idea that undermining collaboration and violating trust harms relationships for years, and apply it to the communities they work in.
