Last fall, the top 2 most banned books were “Gender Queer” and “Flamer”.

We’ll give you one guess why.

With so many books being banned across the country, @DPLA has launched The Banned Book Club to give readers access to e-books that have been banned. Learn more at https://t.co/ET5jreRQI4.

The advancements of science and technology mean nothing if we lack moral and ethical principles. Investments in the moral character of America are needed more than ever. Let’s get to work.

it’s July 14th! Happy International Non-Binary People's Day!!! 💛🤍💜🖤

[Queer Nation @queernationorg]

Did you know that the colors of the Non-binary flag represent the different experiences of being Non-binary???

yellow 💛 = gender outside of the binary
white🤍 = all or many genders
purple💜 = both or between male/female genders
black🖤 = agender (without gender)

read this whole thread. the whole thing. then you can talk about gender-affirming care and regret rates.

[Dr Helen Webberley (she/her) @HelenWebberley]

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.
