Sometimes, I’m pleasantly reminded that I’m the friend who will have you walking on the 516 Arouca Bridge, suspended 175 meters above the Paiva River. Would you walk with me? 😂 . . . . . #transgender #genderqueer #qtpoc #queer #transgirls #transguy #transguys #lgbtqia #intersectionality #transmemes #genderstudies #transgenderism #transing #translash #transisbeautiful #ftm #hrt #transhealth #translash #blacktranslivesmatter

How are so many people convinced that government funded schools are handing out hormones in the same country where I, at 13, waved away an ambulance after I was hit by a car because I knew we couldnt afford it? #trans #transhealth #transrights #healthinsurance #insurance #healthcare

Before I head into the Supreme Court, here’s what’s at stake for trans youth in the United States v. Skrmetti case. . . . . . #transgender #genderqueer #qtpoc #queer #transgirls #transguy #transguys #lgbtqia #intersectionality #transmemes #genderstudies #transgenderism #transing #translash #transisbeautiful #ftm #hrt #transhealth #translash #blacktranslivesmatter

We can’t sit by while dangerous, bigoted language is passed in the NDAA. This would be the first anti-LGBTQ+ statute enacted by Congress since the 1990s. Unacceptable. I’m fighting to remove this language from the NDAA and urge my colleagues to do the same. #transhealth

I was honoured to be invited to speak at the 3rd Annual 2SLGBTQ+ Conference on Manitoulin Island, hosted by Mnaamodzawin Health Services. Grateful to stand alongside community leaders and advocates uplifting and supporting Two-Spirit and trans individuals in all our communities. Our unity, our stories, and our lived experiences are truly sacred. Thank you to this amazing community for welcoming me. 🙏🏽🪶🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🧡 #2SLGBTQ #TwoSpirit #TransHealth #Mnaamodzawin #CommunityCare #strength #empowerment #everychildmatters #mmiwg2s #love

Spencer was diagnosed with breast cancer, but his experience isn’t accurately captured in our data because he’s a trans man. And it’s not only trans people who aren’t counted, it’s also the entire 2SLGBTQ+ community whose experiences are misrepresented due to lack of inclusivity on hospital forms. While individual electronic health records at hospitals may be becoming more gender inclusive, the information is not being fed up the chain to provincial cancer registries and national statistics. This needs to change. This is another reason why complete and harmonized data is foundational to improving health equity and outcomes for all people diagnosed with cancer. Having a more detailed understanding of WHO is included in broad cancer statistics will help identify high risk populations, gaps in care and opportunities to improve outcomes. It is impossible to truly understand the impact of cancer on different populations without robust and complete data that is harmonized and can be shared among provinces and regions across Canada. By signing the #MakeMeCount petition, you are letting decision makers know that this is an important issue to the cancer community. We need more complete cancer data so we can: 👉 Identify the gaps 👉 Target outcomes 👉 Improve care SIGN THE PETITION VIA OUR PROFILE 🔗! You deserve to be counted. 💗 #MakeMeCount 🏷️ #breastcancer #breastcancercommunity #breastcancercare #advocacy #canceradvocate #breastcanceradvocate #breastcancersupport #cancersupport #cancercare #cancercommunity #breastcancerawarenessmonth #bcam #breastcancerawareness #healthequity #trans #transhealth #transman #2slgbt #lgbt+ #lgbtq+ #inclusivecare #inclusivehealthcare #breastcancercharity #cancercharity #rethinkbreastcancer #breastie

Thank you to @chasestrangio, the ACLU, and everyone else who wakes up every day and fights for our kids, our health, and our lives. #trans #transhealth #protecttranskids #skrmetti #news

Puerto Rico has banned gender-affirming health care for transgender youth. On Wednesday, Republican Governor Jenniffer González-Colón signed a law that prohibits gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under 21. The law, Senate Bill 350, prohibits the use of puberty blockers, hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries for transgender youth. Doctors and other health professionals who continue to provide this care could face a $50,000 fine, up to 15 years in prison and the permanent loss of their license. Puerto Rico’s LGBTQ+ Federation criticised the law in a statement: “Let there be no doubt: We will go to court to challenge the constitutionality of the governor’s cruel and inhumane signing of a law that criminalises health professionals for caring for trans minors.” #PuertoRico #LGBTQNews #TransNews #TransHealth #TransYouth

@chasestrangio thank you @ everyone else - keep fighting for us, we need you #transhealth #transkids #usvskrmetti

An important conversation about LGBTQ+ affirming healthcare. ♥️ Listen as Mental Health Advocate Eric Dorsa (they/them) and Trans Lifeline Development Manager Myles Markham (he/they) discuss the importance of Healthcare Decisions Day.

Too many politicians are using trans healthcare as a political football. Trans people don't need the uninformed opinion of their local MP, they need informed healthcare and the same rights, protections and services as everyone else. Trans people deserve freedom from hatred, judgement and bigotry. #transhealth #auspol
