We’ve had enough. We’ve joined over 100 organizations and leaders to demand that @nytimes stop printing inaccurate and harmful misinformation about transgender people and issues. Today we are outside of the Times building to send a clear message. http://glaad.org/nytimes
We are excited to announce that the Public Comment Period for the Draft WPATH Standards of Care 8 is NOW OPEN. Review the Draft Chapters and leave your feedback for the SOC8 Committee by Thursday, December 16: https://wpath.org/soc8
"Misinformation about the science behind the care of trans youth, such as presented in this article, can be and has been used to justify political actions or even violence against the trans and gender diverse community."
We are pleased to announce the extension of the Public Comment Period for the Draft WPATH Standards of Care 8 through Sunday, January 16, 2021: 11:59pm GMT. Thank you for your feedback thus far, and continue to submit comments at: https://wpath.org/soc8
WPATH and USPATH have issued a statement condemning the wave of gender-affirming care bans being introduced in the US. Decisions about health care should remain between patients and their providers. Read the full response here: https://wpath.org/policies
Please share this. Trans people in the US need protected civil rights just as they do all around the world. Other countries may have access to human rights protections, but people in the US do not.

"I was living the American Dream. All of that was stripped from me in seconds."
Carter Brown was fired from his job after being outed as transgender. He continues to advocate for the #EqualityAct to protect him & countless other LGBTQ people from discrimination in the workplace.
Expanding opportunities for trans+ people in every area of life is paramount. Thanks for your great work, TENI.

We're delighted to partner with @a4sounds and @CreateIreland, who, along with artistic collaborators @GenderRip, invite applications from trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming artists based in Ireland for a four-month residency award as part of We Only Want the Earth 2020.
On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, WPATH remembers and honors the transgender people whose lives have been lost due to violence this year and over the years.
We thank members Drs Anderson, Bowers, Edwards-Leeper & others for their contributions to #60minutes which emphasizes the need for responsible trans youth healthcare that follows the SOC. Eliminating access to care is not the answer.
Watch Now:

from a two-year longitudinal study of transgender and nonbinary youth and that found that gender-affirming hormones increased life satisfaction and decreased depression and anxiety symptoms. #wpath
For Texas teen Cass Jackson, who uses they/them pronouns, being transgender meant feeling like their truest self.
Then came Gov. Abbott's directive to investigate parents of medically transitioning kids for child abuse.

The @TheEndoSociety guidelines co-sponsored by @PedsEndoSociety@TheAACE@ESEndocrinology@AndrologyASA@wpath provides the most current evidence based guideline for gender dysphoric people of all ages. Transkids deserve the best treatment too https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/102/11/3869/4157558#.Xjhrqvuuajw.twitter…#HB1365
In Iceland your last name is determined by your gender; -son for male, -dóttir for female. It is now for the first time legal to have the appellation -bur, "child", for nonbinary.
If I were NB for instance my last name would be Erlingsbur. There you have it!
We agree! See our public policy statements posted at http://wpath.org.

Speaking about the life-saving and life-improving work we do with gender diverse & trans youth every day. There is no place for coercion in medicine. This, and many misrepresentations of the truth, exist in Ohio #HB513.
