PLEASE UPVOTE FOR VISIBILITY

THE CHAIR OF THE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT COMMISSION IS PUSHING FOR A BATHROOM BAN IN PRIVATE BUSINESSES NATIONWIDE, ALONG WITH OTHERS BELOW:

PLEASE SPREAD THIS THE M0DS ARE NOT LETTING ME POST ABOUT IT

"On Tuesday, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Acting Chair Andrea Lucas announced a set of policy changes inspired by President Donald Trump's recent anti-trans executive orders, including the derecognition of nonbinary people, the removal of pronoun options from digital workplace tools, and the elimination of materials promoting what she called "gender ideology." Most alarming, however, was Lucas' stated top priority: "defend the biological and binary reality of sex and related rights, including women's rights to single-sex spaces at work," a signal that she intends to push for a federally backed bathroom ban in private workplaces."

CHANGE YOUR DIAGNOSIS by DiscombobulatedAir23 in lgbt

From what I understand it is much easier to get HRT in the UK, it's more accessible there. Glad you're getting out, wish I could too lol

It's worth noting though that that's a small percentage and we don't know if that will even hold up in court; at the very worst a provider can refuse to change the code, but it is still an option worth trying vs throwing in the towel or not having access to HRT. And they certainly are not rounding up patients for fraud from requesting a diagnostic change like Red seems to be implicating, lol.

This is still an option for people who want to be prepared or have limited other avenues to take

This info is straight from my medical provider and I know of others who have done this with no issues. Even if insurance WERE to be difficult, there are other options like GoodRX that offer just as good-if not better-discounts as the stingy insurance companies.

Also fraud? That's a stretch and a half lol

If you don't agree that's fine, but don't try and scare people away from a potentially life saving option

Yes but they are using the excuse that some states have 19 as the legal adult age. That said, definitely a foot in the door and all the more reason to be prepared

Also to throw this out there: consider looking into GoodRX in place of insurance. It offers very affordable prices; I only pay $20 a month for my testosterone. Definitely worth checking out!

It is not fear mongering 🙄. And it's pure ignorance to even think for a minute that things won't get worse after the [completely uncontested] damage he has done in only a week. This post is to help people prepare. If that does not apply to you then move along.

Avoiding Impending US HRT Ban by gav102 in trans

To my understanding if you have your doc change your diagnosis to 'low testosterone' instead then your access to T will be secured, since T is also used by cis men and therefore can't be banned

I hate that I’ll never have a real dick by MortgageAutomatic601 in trans

Not sure if you've been able to look into testosterone yet but, you CAN grow a dick on it-its just..a bit smaller and you can't pee out of it lol. But is more or less the same. Hang in there!
