What is the difference between honest ignorance (which we all have on any number of topics, and if we're humble, we learn) and prideful ignorance ("I know everything already, shut up")?

This man

He came to the #Wisconsin state legislature to speak against #genderAffirmingCare. Instead, after listening to testimony, he apologized and said he learned a lot

On #socialMedia we are drowning in #bigotry

But, sometimes, you can educate those who will listen

Your average cishet person has little understanding about transgender healthcare, especially where youth are concerned.

They’ve either not given it much thought, or they’ve bought into Trump’s lies

Elevate trans voices. Help people learn. Trans healthcare IS healthcare & we must fight for them.

The few people I’ve had conversations with have gone from believing that gender affirming care is “dangerous” to genuinely wondering why anyone would want it taken away from others.

That’s a critical question I aim to leave people with. Why would Trump and others want to take away something which gives people their lives back?

We’re being conditioned to accept atrocities. It’s not about women’s rights. It’s not about protecting children. They’re testing the waters to see how far they can go.

Speak up now. Trans rights are human rights and we should all be paying attention.

From the article: "A small handful of hospitals nationwide have put fear of President Trump over the needs of their transgender patients, and are withdrawing trans youth from care due to a recent executive order."

Protect #Trans folks. All of them. Safety for #transwomen and #TransChildren
Provide #genderaffirmingcare to all, trans and cis.
We are all in this together. Those with power want to control you. They attempt to control the cultural narrative and want us to think #transgender folks are the problem. Worrying us about #immigrants open borders.
They NEED us to be against each other.

No! I won't shut up about trans rights.

How do I access #GenderAffirmingCare in #Australia? I've run out of spoons, and all I've found is stuff for people under 25, and I'm nearly 30

#DemocraticParty #Lawmaker #ChrisCampbell proposes repealing provision banning providers from “#aidingandabetting” #families seeking #GenderAffirmingCare out of state.

The heavily #gerrymandered #Republican #supermajority is unlikely to #support the bill.

Drugs for low testosterone & boner pills are #GenderAffirmingCare.

If you're a trump voting #magat, you shouldn't be allowed access to them anymore.

And you definitely shouldn't get them discounted in price, due to the #ACA.

"Many women are enraged because they’re being told they have to grit their teeth and power through perimenopause, without the option to explore potentially beneficial hormone therapy. Or worse, they’re seeing doctors — the ones who didn’t get any menopause training in medical school — who downplay their symptoms and tell them it’s just the new normal."

Hey fab fedi folks

If you're in the UK, you can sign up and vote for changes you want to see in the NHS on their "Your ideas for change" page on the Change.NHS website.

For example, there's a petition to formally ask for the NHS to move to an informed consent model for adult trans healthcare

It would very be lovely if lots of UK folks signed up and upvoted this, and shared with as many others as they can

Boosts very welcome and appreciated
