I have just read the Interview with Georg Romer from University Hospital Münster in "Süddeutsche Zeitung" titled "Wait and See is Not an Option!"
He is a child and young adult psychiatrist. The interview is really very long.
But the gist is that this Georg Romer is really one of the Saints that we wish for.
The questions asked by the newspaper were great, mentioning all the controversy in society, asking tough questions (but in a very respectful manner), asking things like "what about the impression that transition numbers just exploded and that this is 'fashionable' at the moment" and so on.
During the interview Alexander Knote from LMU Munich was also mentioned aht Georg Romer was asked why he refused to talk / discuss with Alexander Knote.
In essence, A. Knote says that "coming out as trans gender has become fashionable among the AFAB." He then continues to prove that by showing that in Germany 85% of trans gender people AFAB trans men.
Georg Romer takes that as data and looks at "why is that so" in a different way. He analyses the societal environment and comes to the conlusing that the actual number of trans woman is significantly higher than the 15% but the fact that trans women have a significantly higher chance of being discriminated against, hated, or even experience violence is the actual reason why we don't see more trans women coming out. And yes, contrary to A. Knote, Georg Romer has scientific data on that.
A few machine translated excerpts:
---
Some of your colleagues report that young people are becoming more and more demanding and doctors are called transphobic if they do not immediately accept being trans as given without question. Do you experience that too?
Not at all. If we want to avoid an escalation of sensitivities in the doctor-patient relationship, it starts with ourselves. We must understand and respect that there is already a long history of discrimination, pathologization and bullying of trans people in medicine at every first encounter. I think the young people immediately feel the attitude and agenda with which they are met.
So it is the responsibility of the doctors how well the young people cooperate?
We doctors have to get away from the idea that we define whether someone is trans or not. It starts with the speech in the waiting room. I always ask first of all with which name someone would like to be addressed. With this, I do not determine anything for the future, but I signal: I see you, I respect you, I listen to you.
...
---
At the end he says:
I also think of a sentence in a letter that the mother of a 13-year-old trans boy once wrote to us: Without the treatment, we would steal the boy's youth. Every person deserves the chance to remember a happy youth for the rest of their lives. If we force young people to live through these years in the wrong sex, then this hardship of the children is in every class photo, in every memory of a school trip that you still had to experience in the old sex. People who only begin their transition as adults often eras these years of youth in their memory. That's very sad. A coherent identity, even in youth, contributes to the happiness of life.

Wie soll die Medizin mit trans Kindern und Jugendlichen umgehen? Interview zum Stand der Forschung mit Jugendpsychiater Georg RomerChristina Berndt (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
My queer platonic partner Luke and I are both trans, neurodivergent, and disabled. We are currently homeless and living out of our van with our two cats.
We are in need of mutual aid donations to help us be able to afford food, gas, and other necessities, along with our phone bill on the 4th of $100.

Hi #Fediverse, we are an #LGBTQ family in the US who have just fled a red state, and are raising survival funds. Money donated this week will go toward groceries, gas, household supplies, and an emergency vet bill for our dog Loki.
Our fundraiser is currently at $7553 — we really need to hit $8553 by June 10th to stay on track. Every bit counts!

Microsoft's AI is boosting fake stories about sex changes for toddlers on the MSN service, blindly furthering the extreme right's project to eliminate trans people.
The issue with MSN's algorithmic aggregation after they fired their human team was first brought to their attention last December, when the service boosted fake stories about Bigfoot and Mermaids. #trans #journalism #AI

An #anthropologist attends a #CPAC conference ( #conservative #RightWing #America) and reports on their findings of the attitude towards #trans folks.
This being @SAPIENS_org, it is well thought through, fully supportive of trans folks and focused on debunking some of the #myths that the right perpetuate.
I'm really pleased to see serious #academic #writing focused on supporting trans folks. Will the right wing read this? Probably not. Will people who are unaware of the attacks trans folk experience every day read this? Quite probably. Will it help to increase understanding, empathy and allyship? I sincerely hope so.

Any missourians about to lose trans healthcare in the KC metro area, the University of Kansas hospital is right across the border and I can personally vouch that their trans healthcare team is amazing, they've had some ups and downs, but I was a patient with them from 2017 when they started the clinic all the way to 2022 when I left the state.
They do require a letter for HRT, BUT If you're already on hormones they'll help you stay on them while the letter gets sorted out. I hope this helps someone here

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.

I've just discovered that there's a petition on the #UK government petitions website to remove #LGBT content from the curriculum, effectively resurrecting the horrendous Section 28 from the 1980s.
There is also a counter-petition. As of this morning, the remove petition has over 178,000 signatures, the counter-petition has just over 2,500 signatures.
Please sign the counter-petition.

I just had the worst #interview of my entire #career . It turned out to be an insightful list of precisely how NOT to attract talent. In that way, it was really useful to me as a candidate.
Presented for your amusement, here's a thread of what I asked. It's going to be a longboi, but here's my absolute favorite:

It's such a shame when cool projects are maintained by bigots.
I wanted to give Hyprland a try, since I love the (technical) direction it's going. Sadly, the maintainers are transphobic and will treat you like garbage if you are a trans person. @orowith2os, a great friend of mine, shared some screenshots about the bigotry on the Discord server that made me reconsider my decision.
