This was not my experience, but I celebrate the diversity of our journeys. Speaking just for my own, I came out as Bi after I came out as Trans. Congruent hormones didn't change those qualities; but they certainly put me in a better mood, when I was ready to stop lying about who I was.
17.02.2026 02:57 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Yet another tragic miscarriage of justice in my former home state of Colorado, U.S. Last Friday, the Denver District Court ruled against families of TGD adolescents accessing medically necessary (and often lifesaving) care and allowed Childrenโs Hospital Colorado to continue to violate state anti-discrimination laws. Last year, Children's Hospital capitulated, obeyed in advance, to homicidal anti-trans demands by the trump regime, in violation of medical ethics, scientific evidence, best practice standards, and Colorado state law. Last week, District Judge Ericka Englert acknowledged the merits of the families' discrimination claim, yet she refused to grant an injuction against that discrimination by the hospital administration. She falsely stated that doing so "would pose a grave danger to the public interest [meaning cisgender class interest] that is greater than the danger to plaintiffs." In truth, the danger to the plaintiffs is of disfigurement and death of their vulnerable children. The lessons of history, and of the Nuremberg trials in particular, are clear: dissolution of basic human rights and eradication of politically targeted minority classes pose the ultimate danger to the public and civil society. There is blood on Judge Englert's hands. https://coloradosun.com/2026/02/13/childrens-hospital-gender-affirming-care-lawsuit-injunction/

They boast that the trump regime has already bullied US 40 hospital systems to withdraw access to care. Now they are targeting non-profit community health centers. More TGD blood will be on trump's and RFK Jr.'s hands---and on the hands of the AMA and ASPS leaderships as well.

Hugs and kudos to the Good Law Project for revealing a truth that TGD communities have long known from lived and clinical experience: that access to affirming endocrine (including pubertal deferral) care saves adolescent TGD lives. These figures likely represent just the tip of the iceberg.

Facts matter: Only a year ago, the AMA affirmed the medical necessity of health care, including surgeries, for Trans and Gender Diverse adolescents who need them. This week, AMA leadership reversed this policy under political pressure. There is blood on their hands.

House Bill 2426 would invalidate all congruent drivers licenses and birth certificates for TGD people. Furthermore, the bill would effectively criminalize driving a vehicle with an accurate, congruent license. If passed into law, this would suppress access to employment, housing, education, transportation, voting rights, and health care for TGD people throughout the state. This unconscionable bill has received little coverage in the legacy and even independent media.
Hate states in the U.S. accelerate their cruelty toward TGD people, as Kansas House Bill 2426 would invalidate all congruent drivers licenses and birth certificates for TGD people and replace them with misgendered documents.
