An assortment of groups has submitted a set of awful proposals to the FDA concerning estrogen as HRT. theneedlenews.com/anti-trans-h...
Public comment is still open. If you comment opposing these proposals and send me a screenshot, I'll draw you a sketch in this thread (link+examples below).
These death tolls are horrifying and yet death is just one price the average citizens pay, when their nation is in turmoil or at war. There are apparently over 3 MILLION people in Iran, displaced right now due to the war. That can mean lack of access to shelter, food and clean water. 😢

Meet the Americans withholding their federal income tax to protest against Trump

“Fram, who is trans, served in the military for 23 years, reaching the rank of colonel in the U.S. Space Force. But in December, she was ousted by President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender service members.”
The 90s saw Evangelicals and other anti abortion protestors, resorting to violence far too often. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
The early to mid 90s saw a lot of new hope for accessing abortion care. The late 80s saw France approve Mifepristone, and by the mid-late 90s in the US, Bill Clinton had started working on having the medication allowed into the US. These efforts were heavily protested by pro-life advocates. cont'd
We're old enough to remember watching this on the news at the time. There was a LOT of pro-life protest and violence back then. Threats to doctors who performed abortions, as well as staff, was quite common in the U.S. The anti-abortion movement saw an increase in the mid/late 80s-2000s. cont'd 👇🧵
Each of us can experience changes in our mental health during stages on our lives when our hormone levels change. Many women don't realize some of the specific issues that can arise during perimenopause and menopause.
International Women’s Day did not begin as a celebration. It began as unrest. Women striking in factories, suffragists beaten in the streets, workers demanding dignity and the vote. History keeps trying to polish it into something more comfortable. Its origins were anything but.
What kind of negative effects do women have when they experience sexism? These can vary based on the frequency of negative experiences but depression and anxiety are some of the most common effects.
We can each do our part to fight #discrimination. "From adolescence onward, many girls learn that expressing anger is “too much,” expressing sadness is “dramatic,” and expressing fatigue is “complaining.” Over time, this becomes a pattern of self-silencing."
It's International #Women's Day! While there's been a lot of effort to combat gender discrimination, there's still more that we can do. Maybe today is the day to take time and plan some small steps each of us can do, to reduce discrimination. www.canada.ca/en/women-gen...

Iceland found that dancing, music, painting, or sports trigger biochemical reactions in the brain similar to mood altering substances but without the harmful effects. By offering youth free programs for such activities, the rate of substance use plummeted within 20 years. #teens

Ok, ya... That was the laugh I needed today. 😂

We're incredibly sad that we've had to report on numerous similar cases of suicide that had been encouraged by a chatbot. When people look for help, or even just a friendly companion, this shouldn't be what they end up with. 😢
Yes: this is what it can feel like: "not watching feels irresponsible and privileged, while watching feels destabilizing. To disengage can feel like moral failure. Yet staying engaged can feel like emotional depletion." It can be brutal, and we need to pace ourselves.
We're proud of efforts by people such as Ian's to help out families in Minnesota. This is what we mean when we say that efforts don't necessarily have to cost *you* financially. You CAN be an organizer and simply develop the plan of who you're going to help, in whatever way and get things rolling.
Really excellent article from Matthew Green that everyone should read. With so many age verification laws coming into effect, there needs to be some sort of verification system that doesn't blatantly wreck the user's privacy.
It's well known that these states are rather hostile to LGBTQIA+ persons, with laws put in to make life even more difficult for them. That hatred of trans in these states, combines with racism to make things even worse, particularly for black trans women. 😢
This is NOT surprising to us at all given the states investigated for this report. Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, Louisiana, Florida, Tennessee, and Alabama have all had pretty horrible support and laws to help transgender people. What they HAVE had a lot of is hatred and intolerance. 👇🧵
Hatred against women has been on the rise again the past few years. With that inevitably comes violence against them, typically from partners. Shelter spaces to accommodate them is usually lacking, with many people turned away due to lack of space. 😢
While the US shows a lack of respect and concern towards many of it's female veterans, Canada is stepping up. A new program being launched, will focus on getting their female vets the #MentalHealth help and support they need.
