🏳️‍🌈 Excited to share our new article in the Journal of LGBTQ Issues in Counseling on how affirming state laws are linked to lower suicide risk among LGBQ youth. Grateful to collaborate with Ryan Robertson & @jgunniii.bsky.social. Our findings show policy is prevention! doi.org/10.1080/2692...

1. Major news in transgender care. Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines. They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the Cass Review in England. Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services. This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.
The image shows a webpage from the Whitman-Walker Health website, captured via the Wayback Machine on January 23, 2025. The page highlights healthcare services, specifically "Peer Support," with a background image of two men engaged in conversation—one with a beard and a brown hat, the other in a light-colored shirt.

At the top, the Whitman-Walker logo and the tagline "we need you." are displayed, along with two contact phone numbers: 202.745.7000 and 202.978.6123.

Below the main banner, a "Services Menu" is visible, listing various healthcare services:

Health Services

Smart Immediate Care

Gender Affirming Care

Women’s Health

Pediatrics – Care for Young People


This webpage suggests that Whitman-Walker Health provides comprehensive healthcare services, including specialized care for different populations.

The image displays a menu of healthcare services on a blue background. The title "Services" is at the top, followed by a list of offerings, including:

Primary Care

HIV/STI Prevention & Care

Behavioral Health

Dental Health

SMART Immediate Care

Telehealth

Accepted Insurance

Insurance Navigation

Legal Services

Community Resources


Below the list, there are three buttons labeled:

"Become a Patient"

"Pharmacy"

"Patient Portal"


The design appears to be from a healthcare provider's website or digital platform, offering medical and support services to patients.

💯. It's (1) transphobic and awful but also (2) short sighted to ignore the attacks on the trans community. It's a starting point for them, not the end.
