PSA for trans+ people under 18 (plus supportive family and friends) over access to gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) being restricted, banned, at risk, or otherwise unavailable
Hey folks π©΅π©·π€
As you're almost-certainly already aware, access to GAHT is increasingly being restricted, being outright banned, or otherwise unavailableb to many trans+ people under 18 in many places across the world π
For example, the UK had already banned new prescriptions of GnRH agonists (a type of puberty blocker) for any trans+ person under 18, and is now genuinely considering banning all private GAHT prescriptions too π€¬
GAHT is literally lifesaving medication for many trans+ people!!!
Without it, many trans+ people under 18 will struggle even more with mental health, and many will not make it to adulthood π
If you are a trans+ person under 18, or are a supportive family member or friend of someone who is, please start to make contingency plans now for the worst-case scenarios π₯Ί

We all need to prepare now, before it's too late π₯Ίπ
Enough lives have already been lost. We can't save everyone, but we need to try to save as many as we can β
