Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.

Catholic hospitals barred from offering gender-affirming care Catholic health systems account for 1 in 6 acute care hospitals in the country β€” and in many rural areas, they are the only available hospital.

Doctors at Catholic hospitals are in another bind between the edict of the church and obligations to their patients.

Catholic leaders have formally banned their hospitals from providing gender-affirming care to trans patients. Providers have been getting around similar rules for awhile, though.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't β€” and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

the point of camo for a soldier is to obscure their position from the enemy. camo in an urban environment is completely different, and this forest green or desert pattern is functionally useless.

police only dress this way to project an image of power they should not have.

Detransition is key to politicians’ anti-trans agenda. But what is it really like? The 19th spoke with two detransitioners who feel harmed and used by the Trump administration, which has positioned itself as a protector of those who detransition.

Detransition is being used as political fodder by the Trump admin and its allies to support extreme anti-trans policies.

In the process, the reality of detransition is lost. For our new series, I spoke with detransitioners who feel harmed by the Trump admin. Their stories are complex and important.

Transgender TSA officer sues Kristi Noem after being barred from traveler pat-downs Exclusive details: TSA officer Danielle Mittereder β€˜just wants to do her job,’ her attorney told The Independent. β€˜And she’s not allowed to do it, for the sole reason that she is transgender.’

A transgender TSA officer, who has identified and presented as a woman since her first day, is no longer allowed to pat down travelers thanks to a Trump executive order issued that, with a stroke of the pen, wrongfully reclassified her as a man.

The same goes, I should say, for Gavin Newsom. For years, he kind of annoyed Democrats, they thought he had too much baggage and underperformed. To say nothing of his comments about trans people and the fact California is too damn expensive. But standing up to Trump improved his standing

Kind of amazing how as Chuck Schumer’s stock has dropped because Democratic voters see him as rolling over to Trump, Kathy Hochul’s stock has shot up for aggressively opposing Trump (and endorsing Zohran Mamdani).
