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.

- yo de verdad que valoro mucho el apoyo de la gente cis, pero, si das una formación y la enfocas en personas trans, necesitas algo más de conocimiento sobre las personas trans
- y, aunque es necesario viabilizar a las personas trans que no transicionan médicamente, no puedes hablar cómo si ninguna lo hiciera (no todas mujeres trans tienen x genitales o no se hormonan)

- Reposted by emma machadoWorth pointing out the biggest supporters of trans people (which is who bigots mean by “gender ideology”) are bisexual & lesbian women. All the public “concerns” about trans people (phase, indoctrination, regret, etc) are recycled forms of homophobia. This is why LGB solidarity with the T is strong.
