Are there any LGBTQ resource groups near you? I know the one by me maintains a list of local doctors of various specialties that are supportive and affirming for trans people. And folks there may be able to share doctors they’ve had luck with too.

It does make for a pleasant and relaxing evening!
A dark and stormy, a joint, and an Aesop Rock record on.
Yeah, I think that is nice! Hopefully it makes it easier for other parents to see that it is possible to change their minds and become more accepting
Why is it important that she’s open about not being initially accepting? Does she speak about it in a way that encourages other parents to be more immediately accepting?
It’s all good! I had just seen a few other comments mention similar things, so I wanted to make it clear that I wasn’t trying to make any particular point related to AOC’s recent votes. And I’ll take a look at the article, thanks!
Edit: Also, I do generally agree, we should hold our leaders to high standards
To clarify, I didn’t post this with any agenda related to AOC’s recent statements. I haven’t paid enough attention to the story to have an opinion. I just happened to be scrolling through old memes earlier today and felt like sharing, because I thought it was funny.
I guess that means the screenshot was taken 2 hours after the original post was made. I found this in my old saved photos from several years ago. Still seemed funny and relevant today
I think this is from like 2021
Yeah, I’m going to echo the other comment - I don’t think doctors should ever be able to deny trans people healthcare. If it’s something out of their expertise, a referral might make sense. But right now there’s a lot of movement towards denying us healthcare, and I don’t think we should be giving that side any more excuses for their bigotry.
Genuinely curious - what is the difference between detritus and dirt?
Pete Buttigieg can fuck all the way off.
