UPS drivers will earn $170k a year by the end of this contract so don't let anyone ever tell you unions and strikes don't work. They lift the middle class. This new contract will ripple through to other delivery companys drivers. Where my FedEx people at? Time for y'all to union.
I wanna talk about the disabled angels: there's so many 'in heaven they will finally be free of their wheelchair' and 'they will be made whole again in heaven' narratives around disabled people, so to see visibly disabled angels means everything, thank you @neilhimself#GoodOmens
The regret rate of gender-affirming surgery is 0.3%.
The regret rate for knee replacement surgery is 6-30%.
"Transition regret" is a false narrative being pushed by the media to prevent people from getting access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare.
However...
Let's address that 0.3%.
Many outside factors contribute to a trans person's regret:
👉Unsupportive families.
👉Transphobic environments.
👉Normal post-op distress.
Just because that 0.3% of people regret their surgery doesn't mean they're not transgender.
The fear of regret shouldn't stop thousands of trans people from getting access to the healthcare they deserve.
Regret rates exist - but not for the reasons the media are trying to push.

All for orcas orcanizing. Not all for people who romanticize orcas and sharks attacking yachts but think we as humans—especially Black and Indigenous folks—aren’t well within reason to forcibly defend and reclaim ourselves, lands and waterways from the wealthy.
Extremely good news everyone.
For the first time, a federal court has ruled that gender affirming care bans are unconstitutional.
This case has gone on for two years now.
And for the plaintiffs, they finally find relief.
No more unconstitutional bans on care.
