I can't help with this, as I no longer live in WA. But fellow Washingtonians, you can help with this. Let's make sure trans youth continue to receive proper care in the pnw.

L. N. Mosteller (she/her), Boosted from @aidapsibr: Also, if you are in Washington state, please take the time to comment on support of SB 5489, the companion bill to SB 5599 which does what other blue states have done in protecting trans youth and people seeking reproductive health care from subpoena, extradition, warrants, etc.

In 2016, one anti-trans bill passed in North Carolina. The backlash was so tremendous that it cost the state nearly $4B in revenue before the bill was shelved. To date, 41 states have attempted to roll back trans rights with at least one measure. Just under half have succeeded. #TransRights #ProtectTransYouth #Transgender #ProtectTransKids #TransgenderRights https://www.npr.org/2022/11/28/1138396067/transgender-youth-bills-trans-sports

Clauses like this are often included in bills to preempt objections. Politicians can hide behind plausible deniability, even though any halfway informed person would see this section cannot be reasonably proven except in extreme circumstances, and in the case of bills like #DontSayGay, schools preemptively over-comply to avoid lawsuits. This clause is nothing but PR. #ProtectTransYouth #ProtecTransKids #ProtectTransLives #Transphobia #EndTransphobia #AbolishTheGOP

In addition to HB1011, Oklahoma has introduced another bill, SB30. It seeks to ban school personnel from using an affirmed name or pronouns without written permission from parents. Schools are also required to out #rans youth to parents, echoing bills in other states. It also bans discussion of #SexualOrientation or #gender until 7th grade. As with HB1011 The bill is dated for 2/6/2023, but was introduced 12/13/2022. #ProtectTransYouth

Transition services are also so broad that the standard set by the bill in many places includes social and legal transition. But wait, there's more.. it bans ALL transition services under *21* and eliminates the informed consent model: it requires people 21+ to first see a psychiatrist who must approve of the transition. #GenderDysphoria #ProtectTransYouth #TransHealth

I’ll take this moment to remind folks of this: if you’re buying gifts for a therapist in your life, please know that I send all royalties I earn on my 3rd book to orgs that #ProtectTransYouth

In the section targeting sexual and reproductive , and #GenderAffirming care, this bill amends SC code section 63-5-340 to raise min age for consenting to healthcare of any kind from 16 to 18. It also appears to provide a universal exemption from immunization requirements, and prevents schools from withholding any information "relevant to the physical, emotional, or mental health of the child". #AbortionRights #sexEducation #LGBTQ #ProtectTransKids #ProtectTransYouth

Please write a story about two transgender kids.

Once upon a time, there were two transgender kids named Alex and Sam. They had known each other since they were very young and had always been there for each other.

The anti-#trans prefile bills keep coming.. 🚨 This 2023 prefile #Oklahoma pre-dated all the way in advance for February (2/6/2023) seeks 10 year prison sentences, license revocation and $100,000 fines for healthcare providers engaged in #GenderAffirming care. #ProtectTransYouth #ProtectTransKids

Meanwhile in #Texas: Senate bill 250 in Texas (SB250 prefiled for 2023-2023, the senate companion to HB41 and HB42) would nullify liability insurance for gender affirming care providers. Additonal prefiles: HB23 is a sports ban, while SB162 seeks to ban alteration of birth certificates. #TransRights #TransYouth #ProtectTransKids #TransRightsAreHumanRights #ProtectTransYouth

This machine (discursively) kills TERFs. #ProtectTransYouth

Similar to both abortion and other #AntiTrans bills of the past: it establishes a "reporting process" (read: tipline) and allows for prosecution and civil penalty with a massive twenty-year statute of limitations. #ProtectTransYouth #ProtectTransKids #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Lest anyone think I've lost my objectivity: I think it's fair to say that now is the time to make sure they follow up and clean house with all the many, many WPATH members— including members in key leadership positions, who made the initial #BellVsTavistock decision and Cass Review possible. WPATH has been just as complicit in the war on #TransYouth as the #NHS. This is the first step in addressing decades of incalculable harm. #ProtectTransKids #ProtectTransYouth

Ahhh 🦊 it. Here's a link that I will delete shortly to read the preprint. I'm bad at rules. https://bit.ly/kantboskey

Seeing that #Reuters is gladly promoting the widely debunked #ROGD hypothesis today, here's an article @ERB_PhD and I wrote for CRSW about the ways in which #SocialWork in the US, particularly social work #epistemology, has been complicit in the war on #transgender youth. From proliferating grief narratives, to outright promotion of conversion. It hasn't populated to databases yet because it's early access, so if you're interested, I'm happy to share. #ProtectTransYouth https://bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/crsw/aop/article-10.1332-204986022X16629691345780/article-10.1332-204986022X16629691345780.xml
