Media coverage of transgender and gender diverse people has an impact. Today, we signed a letter with @glaad and over 100 other orgs to demand better, more accurate coverage.
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. glaad.org/nytimes

#ICYMI, WPATH member doctors published results in @NEJM 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

Across the US, legislators are introducing bills that would restrict or ban access to gender-affirming care. Some bills, like SB12 in Kansas, would criminalize care for people under 21. WPATH's Dr. Safer from @MountSinaiNYC chimes in below.
