the pigtailed girl 🏳️‍⚧️You Were Lied to About the Tavistock Trans Youth Clinic
'1,000 former patients are suing Tavistock for being given gender affirming care!' was the battle cry Jordan Peterson and other transphobes used to undermine trans youth healthcare. Yet a new freedom of information request (FOI) has blown said lie right open.

You Were Lied to About the Tavistock Trans Youth Clinic
biyokeaSur un autre sujet : un article bien réfléchi sur la douleur chronique chez les jeunes trans, dans une perspective biopsychosociale. Rien de révolutionnaire et puis un peu déprimant, mais si les jeunes trans (et les trans en général) souffrent plus de douleurs chroniques que les autres, c'est notamment en raison de la ✨ transphobie systémique ✨.
L'article aborde plusieurs thèmes et exemples de comment ça se manifeste et par quels mécanismes précisément. Ça implique aussi des pistes pour améliorer la situation (protections légales, luttes contre les discriminations, actions en faveur de l'accès au soins : de transition mais aussi de PEC de la douleur, facteurs de résilience au stress minoritaire, etc.).
Bonus il est assez court et abordable.
J'en profite pour partager cette super revue systématique[2] sur les effets biologiques du stress minoritaire chez les minorités sexuelles et de genre, je joins 2 graphiques qui synthétisent les résultats

DoomsdaysCW#Trans Health Experts Push Back on Youth Care Opposition in #SouthAfrica
by Malaika Delport, Feb 17, 2026
"The Professional Association for Transgender Health South Africa (#PATHSA) has published an important response to discriminatory and harmful arguments that question the legitimacy of gender-affirming care for #transgender and #NonBinary youth.
[...]
"PATHSA reiterates that being transgender is not a disorder and does not require diagnostic criteria. Gender dysphoria, however, is a recognised clinical condition involving significant distress related to gender incongruence.
"The organisation affirms that SASOP’s paper aligns with standards developed by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, which recommend comprehensive assessment and, where appropriate, access to puberty blockers or hormone therapy."

#African #Queer Youth Initiative
"Our History
A group of young #LGBTQI+ activists founded the African Queer Youth Initiative during the 5th Changing Faces and Changing Spaces Conference in Nairobi, #Kenya, in June 2015.
Our founding members recognised the need to elevate the needs and aspirations of young people within the larger LGBTQI+ movement and to create a space where they could be seen as equal partners in the struggle for equality. Since then, #AQYI has become a vibrant network of African youth activists united by our shared commitment to building a more #inclusive and #equitable society.
Since our inception, we have grown exponentially; our members come from southern, northern, eastern, and western Africa, as well as the African Islands, representing a diverse and vibrant community of young queer people. We continue to work with African LGBTQI+ youths to develop innovative and youth-led strategies for empowering LGBTQI+ youths across Africa, as well as platforms that allow them to engage actively and have an authentic voice in the fight for their freedom."
