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.

It's so rare to see the old world dying and the new world struggling to be born in the same room together

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

Why You Need to Hear the Speech That Sylvia Rivera Wasn’t Allowed To Give Sylvia Rivera was met with jeers and boos at one of the very first Pride Parades on this day in 1973. Here’s why that matters now.

On this day more than 50 years ago, Sylvia Rivera climbed onto a stage to advocate for incarcerated trans people at a Pride rally and demanded trans inclusion in the fight for rights.

Hearing her speech is important 50 years later.

Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia “In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning.

- <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT.

I, a trans woman, apparently knows nothing about youth gender dysphoria.

Not like I wasn't putting on my mom's makeup at 7 and getting put in detention in 3rd grade for talking about wanting to be a girl.

Just breathtakingly stupid.

This new systematic review of the evidence could turn out to be one of the most important studies to date on gender affirming care

“Systematic Medical Evidence Review of Hormonal Transgender Treatment Report”

le.utah.gov/AgencyRP/rep...

Utah lawmakers’ own study found gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Will they lift the treatment ban? The Utah Legislature's own newly-released study found that gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Now, will lawmakers lift the treatment ban?

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023.

They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.

Reminder:

If you support Harry Potter in any way, you are directly funding legal attacks on trans people.

There is no separating the art from the artist in this case.

The Cass Review gets peer reviewed and absolutely shredded

Cass is the Wakefield of our time. A scandal in broad daylight

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

The 2025 Pembroke Publics Lecture | Gillian Branstetter How we got here

A few weeks ago I had the honor of delivering the 2025 Pembroke Publics Lecture at Brown University, and I spent the occasion trying to explain how transgender rights reached the precarious position it finds itself in today. Full video here:

Attacking the rights of a marginalised group isn’t a win for feminism.

Demanding that women be defined by our biology isn't a win for feminism.

The people driving this are not acting in the interests of women. They're taking us all backwards and ushering in the far right.

I have really good news to announce to everyone.

Because of our reporting and many readers contacting Planned Parenthood of Arizona, the organization will NOT over comply with Trump, and is restarting its trans adult care.

Good work everyone.

So You Want to Be a Dissident? A practical guide to courage in Trump’s age of fear.

Crucial point made here — we should learn from others rather than imagine that everything is new and therefore shocking and impossible to resist.

Postrevolutionary Modes An essay about trans women and fashion

Over a year ago I began research on why many trans women love fashion and (more important) why the industry only sometimes loves us back. On the way I uncovered lost images, unknown models, and got sent way back to the French Revolution. Hope you enjoy
