PSA for trans+ people under 18 (plus supportive family and friends) over access to gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) being restricted, banned, at risk, or otherwise unavailable
Hey folks 🩵🩷🤍
As you're almost-certainly already aware, access to GAHT is increasingly being restricted, being outright banned, or otherwise unavailableb to many trans+ people under 18 in many places across the world 😔
For example, the UK had already banned new prescriptions of GnRH agonists (a type of puberty blocker) for any trans+ person under 18, and is now genuinely considering banning all private GAHT prescriptions too 🤬
GAHT is literally lifesaving medication for many trans+ people!!!
Without it, many trans+ people under 18 will struggle even more with mental health, and many will not make it to adulthood 😭
If you are a trans+ person under 18, or are a supportive family member or friend of someone who is, please start to make contingency plans now for the worst-case scenarios 🥺
We highly recommend bookmarking the below website and making copies of all relevant info and links in case it gets taken down:

If you're 18+ or soon will be, please also do the same for these:

We all need to prepare now, before it's too late 🥺😞
Enough lives have already been lost. We can't save everyone, but we need to try to save as many as we can ✊
Reblogs very much appreciated ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🫶
The history of transgender people
The history of transgender people is complex and varied, stretching back to ancient civilisations and continuing through to the present day. While there is no single narrative that can capture the full breadth of transgender experience, there are certain key moments and figures that have helped shape our understanding of gender identity and expression.
One of the earliest recorded examples of transgender identity comes from the ancient Sumerian civilisation in Mesopotamia, where priests and priestesses of the goddess Inanna would sometimes dress in clothing associated with the opposite sex and perform rituals that blurred traditional gender boundaries. In other cultures, such as the Native American tribes of the Two-Spirit tradition or the hijra communities of India, individuals who did not conform to traditional gender roles were often revered as having special spiritual or healing powers.
The modern concept of transgender identity emerged in the mid-20th century, when medical professionals began to recognise that some people experienced a persistent and distressing sense of incongruity between their gender identity and the sex they were assigned at birth. This led to the development of gender-affirming medical treatments such as hormone therapy and gender confirmation surgery.
One of the earliest known examples of gender-affirming medical treatment took place in Germany in the 1920s, when Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld established the Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin. The institute offered medical and psychological support to people who experienced gender dysphoria, as well as advocating for legal and social recognition of transgender identity.
Unfortunately, the institute was destroyed by the Nazis in 1933, and many of its patients and staff members were killed or forced into hiding. It was not until the 1950s and 60s that transgender identity began to be more widely recognized in Western medical and psychological circles, thanks in part to the pioneering work of researchers such as Dr. Harry Benjamin.
In 1952, Benjamin published "The Transsexual Phenomenon," which outlined a clinical framework for understanding and treating gender dysphoria. He argued that transgender people should be allowed to access medical interventions such as hormone therapy and gender confirmation surgery in order to align their bodies with their gender identity, and he helped establish the standards of care that are still used by many medical professionals today.
Throughout the 20th century, transgender people faced significant discrimination and marginalisation, particularly in the United States. Laws and social norms restricted their access to healthcare, education, employment, and other basic rights, and they were often subject to harassment and violence.
In the 1960s and 70s, however, transgender activists began to organise and advocate for their rights, paving the way for greater recognition and acceptance of transgender identity in the decades that followed. In 1975, for example, the first international conference on transgender rights was held in Atlanta, Georgia, bringing together activists from around the world to share their experiences and strategies.
Today, transgender people continue to face many challenges, including discrimination, violence, and lack of access to healthcare. However, there have also been significant gains in terms of legal protections and social acceptance, particularly in many Western countries. Transgender celebrities such as Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner have helped to raise awareness and visibility of transgender issues, and many organisations and advocacy groups are working to promote transgender rights and equality.
The history of transgender people is one of resilience and resistance, as individuals and communities have fought to assert their identities and secure their rights. While there is still much work to be done, the progress that has been made in recent decades provides hope for a more inclusive and just future.

My Take on the JKR Situation
[Prior to the last few days] I have never viewed JK Rowling as anything less than a role model to myself and others. Her creation of the Harry Potter series is something that I know many people hold very dear to their hearts. Especially to those in the lgbtq+ community. To many, myself included, Hogwarts is a place that one can look to for a family, home, and acceptance. The refuge people take inside fictional universes is wonderful. The credit is to be given to the author for the creation of such universes. However, if the creator of that universe fails to give that acceptance to those who looked to them for just that, then the upholding of those principles is left to the members of that community. Personally, I do not agree with what has been said by JKR (I'm lazy and just chose to abbreviate) or Maya Forstater. At the same time, I do not agree with cancel culture. My stance is with protecting those who need it. Protecting those who are in need of that family and acceptance. And though I am Cis, I will fight for my trans siblings to the end. Also, @jammi-dodger has a video about the LGB alliance (https://youtu.be/2xJJiPjHVSg) where I think he pretty much sums it up saying (this is what I took from the video) it doesn’t make sense to have “LGB without the T.” I think that it is in the hands of the community (both Harry Potter and lgbt+) to make sure that the sense of home given by this fictional universe remains alive, despite the, please excuse my informal speech, negative vibe given by JKR. I think that the trans children and adults, that look to Harry Potter Universe for acceptance, deserve to be able to have that refuge. You CAN truly love the art and kinda hate the artist (Yes, I took that from AJR). Also, yes, I know that JKR has had terf tendencies in the past I have not looked into it prior to this incident, I apologize to the members of the community. Thank You.
HAPPY #PRIDE MONTH. A friendly reminder from us here at TFEW that Love and identities come in all forms. In honor of this. This week we will be releasing this design on a shirt on our store. Half of our proceeds will be donated to a trans inclusive charity at the end of June and at the end of July. We know we are a small little podcast. But we want to try to make a difference as best as we can. Please stay tuned.
