This one's been a bit under the radar, but the US Conference of Catholic Bishops are moving ahead with plans to force Catholic hospitals to refuse any sort of gender affirming care, which would include maintenance doses of hormone therapy for emergency patients such as stroke victims who were unlucky enough to be brought to a Catholic hospital.

I've been meaning to look in to whether a medical info bracelet might work here.
Not sure if ambulance techs would even understand or honor one directing them not to take us to Catholic hospitals.
At any rate, something to have on your radar. The rule isn't written, but the smart money is on them banning any continuing prescription for HRT in any circumstances, which would mean forced medical detransition in cases where one of us is stuck in one of their facilities for an extended period.
One time, one of our city council members thought they were saying something pro choice when they said "abortion should be a decision between a woman and her doctor" and I was like bro, you wanna leave this up to those frikkin Catholic hospitals?
