Reframing gender affirming health care in light of Republican bans

[NullTuples]

I'm going to change what I'm calling it and implore allies to do the same. By calling it gender affirming care (or healthcare) instead of trans care, a spotlight is focused on the fact that every procedure, drug, etc. is used for non-trans people, too. But Republicans are only banning gender affirming care for trans people because our gender affirming care (GAC) goes against conservative gender norms while the same care for cis people reinforces those norms. Outlawing it only for trans people is discriminatory and a form of violence against us.

An excellent, heavy-with-supporting-links article on the topic, for those who would like to know more, or just want an article to pass on to others:
