Hey fedi :FediverseSymbol: We want to follow more <li>agender folk</li><li>bigender folk</li><li>genderfluid folk</li><li>genderqueer folk</li><li>non-binary folk</li><li>trans guys</li><li>trans mascs</li><li>trans POC</li><li>two-spirit</li> ... and anyone else who falls under the broad trans umbrella :TransHeart: As it stands, our follow list has a bias towards trans woman, trans fems, and fembies. We want to balance out our feed and see your posts, thoughts, problems, questions, and joy that we're not currently seeing. The problem we're having is that we genuinely have not been able to find many by searching 😭 For example, if we do a search from our instance for #TransMasc, we only see about 13 profiles and a handful of posts, probably due to our server not fully searching across fedi 😞 (FYI, any tech recommendations on additionally relays or ways to solve this search / federation issue on a Glitch-SOC server would be **very much** welcomed.) So, please can y'all either reply back for us to follow you, have some recommendations of folk we can follow, or have thoughts on getting around our search / federation issue, we'd be super grateful :PinkHeart: And boosts are very welcome :BoostsOKPrideSymbol: #2Spirit #agender #bigender #genderfluid #genderqueer #NonBinary #TransGuy #TransMan #TransMen #TransMasc #POC #AskFedi #trans #transgender #LGBTQ+ #LGBTQIA+ #queer #GenuinelyAsking #fedi #fediverse #TwoSpirit N.B., This post **is** genuine.

) :TransHeart: It went live officially from the date of Trans Pride Brighton (20th July 2024), from what we've been told :TransPrideFlag: Unlike GenderGP, which has sadly fired a lot of staff and replaced them with "AI" chatbots, Anne Health has commited to hiring qualified individuals who care and are knowledgeable about the best trans healthcare practices possible :BlahajWavingTransFlag: Anne Health is planning to operating as a non-profit, and will take donations to help offer services to those who cannot afford the fees, so you can donate to them.

Wasn't quite expecting this from the BMA (British Medical Association), but they have come out fighting against the Cass Review :TransHeart:

The British Medical Association is the trade union and professional body for doctors in the UK.

BMA to undertake an evaluation of the Cass Review on gender identity services for children and young people - BMA media centre - BMA

Press release from the BMA

Here are some highlights for those who don't want to follow the link: > Members of the BMA's Council recently voted in favour of a motion which asked the Association to 'publicly critique the Cass Review', after doctors and academics in several countries, including the UK, voiced concern about weaknesses in the methodologies used in the Review and problems arising from the implementation of some of the recommendations. This is followed by: > The BMA is calling for a pause to the implementation of the Cass Review's recommendations whilst the task and finish group carries out its work. It is expected to be completed towards the end of this year. In the meantime, the BMA believes transgender and gender-diverse patients should continue to receive specialist healthcare, regardless of their age. And then by: > The BMA has been critical of proposals to ban the prescribing of puberty blockers to children and young people with gender dysphoria, calling instead for more research to help form a solid evidence base for children's care – not just in gender dysphoria but more widely in paediatric treatments. The Association believes clinicians, patients and families should make decisions about treatment on the best available evidence, not politicians. This feels like a **real** middle finger up to Wes Streeting🖕 who recently proposed making the ban permanent as the new UK Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. #BMA #PressRelease #trans #transgender #UK #UKPol #UKPolitics #CassReview #PubertyBlockers #TransYouthAreLoved #TransKidsDeserveToThrive #TransKidsDeserveBetter #TransKidsDeserveToGrowUp #WesStreeting
