Genuinely huge news from the American Psychological Association, which just voted 153-9 to pass a new policy agenda supporting transgender healthcare, actively dismantling the misinformation and lies ABOUT trans people and their healthcare needs, and calling for a complete repeal of all anti-trans bills, nationwide. It isn't federal law, but it is huge and will have a beneficial impact in a number of places in the US.

Well done on the APA, here, doing what they can to protect trans people.

@Wolven I mean this is great, but the American gynecological association came out threatening to take licenses from doctors who spread disinformation about abortion. Women still lost reproductive rights. Good luck to the trans folks.

@maggiejk @Wolven This is true but battle lines are being drawn. No more waffling. Professionals need to pick a damn side and stand ON it.

@Wolven Not an expert but 153-9 seems pretty decisive.

@_L1vY_ @hannu_ikonen @Wolven Thought the same thing… we need names of those 9. No one who wants to harm others should be allowed to hide behind anonymity

@stephaniepixie @hannu_ikonen @Wolven They should not be working with the vulnerable public.

@Wolven Thank goodness we're still standing by our ACTUAL overwhelming research instead of bending to fascism.
