Of course, if all people truly had the right to choose and had full bodily autonomy, these numbers might be very different.

Of that 1% who “regret” their treatments, a sizable subset are people who regret not the gender-affirming care, but the ostracizing they’re subjected to by family and friends, the bigotry and violence of politicians, pundits and strangers on the streets, the denial of full rights and access to society that cis folks take for granted.

Jenna Daugherty posted: Never forget that every anti-trans argument is made up entirely by bigoted cis people who know nothing about us.

Infographic shows 99 human figures in colors of the trans flag and 1 who is shaded black with the caption: 1% of people regret their gender affirming treatment.

Below that, 90 human figures, with 10 shade black, and the caption: 10% of people regret having children.

Ireland: "Minister and top HSE official visit Iceland to examine their liberal transgender (healthcare) policy"

Average reporting, but this seems positive on the direction of travel on improving the dire trans health care here in Ireland -

"Iceland is regarded as having one of the world’s most liberal trans healthcare services, with the Department of Health noting that it “stands out” in Europe, along with Malta and Spain. It follows a model of informed consent"

You know what? If Mary had masturbated instead of having sex back then, humanity might have avoided a lot of pain. So yeah, it's Christmas. Seems like a perfect day to choose bodily autonomy. Happy masturbating ✌️😚

News: Faroe Islands scraps one of Europe's strictest abortion laws

"Previous legislation allowed abortions only in certain circumstances - such as rape, incest or risk to the health of the pregnant woman - and meant the self-governing Danish territory had among the most restrictive abortion policies in Europe."

"Only five - Andorra, Malta, Liechtenstein, Poland and Monaco - maintain highly restrictive laws."

This is worth a read. The Irish NGS (National Gender Service) for trans healthcare is a hidden national scandal. After 18 months here I'm yet to hear a single good thing from anyone about it ... basically everyone is doing DIY HRT or paying private.

In fact the more I know the more I feel it should actually be the called the LPS or Licensed Perverts Service based on the psychs, but draw your own conclusions (a covert recording has been publically released of one session)

The best thing that ever happened to me was two amazing public facing trans elders advising me to stay well away from the UK NHS GICs, for my own dignity and self/respect. I did, but this in Ireland - by all accounts - is far worse ...

Jenny Maguire: I bear the scars of a healthcare system that fails trans people

We need a service made for the needs of trans people, not the fears of others

The Journal: There is "no scientific support” for a mandatory waiting period for abortions in Ireland, according to the chief medical director of the Irish Family Planning Association (IFPA).

“What is utterly inappropriate and paternalistic is the imposition of a delay on every single person who seeks abortion care. This stigmatises both pregnant people and healthcare providers.

“It implies that women would otherwise take an unconsidered decision and that doctors would ignore signs of uncertainty, or worse, rush someone into a termination.”

Boo to Costco. I thought they were better--unlike other corporations that obeyed in advance--but nope, they caved to power-tripping control freak misogynists and stopped selling mifepristone.

Counted cross-stitch sampler I made with help from the book Elizabethan Counted Cross-stitch: It includes a variety of colorful designs with, instead of the alphabet, the messages, "Keep bullshit patriarchal laws the fuck off our bodies," and, "All abortions are good abortions."

“Victoria will become the first Australian state to ban unnecessary surgeries on intersex children, with legislation to be introduced to parliament to ensure procedures are deferred until patients are old enough to consent to them.”

This is very interesting news, protecting bodily autonomy via informed consent.

The new abortion law will be back in the Faroese Parliament tomorrow, the 2. Desember.

The law is not going to pass because a social democrat, Djóni Nølsøe, will be voting against giving women and others who need an abortion the right to bodily autonomy.

GOP’s “coercion” panic is projection: They ban abortion, endangering victims (9,000+ more IPV incidents since Dobbs), then accuse providers of abuse. “This case is about coercion. Plain and simple.” Real coercion? State-sponsored forced pregnancy killing pregnant people.

If you don't understand that banning puberty blockers for #trans kids in the UK and NZ is about women's #BodilyAutonomy internationally, and that this is US-funded and will be coming for all women next then wake the hell up ... we've seen the playbook and it's being expanded all the time.

If they can ban access to healthcare like puberty blockers for one group of people, they can do this with any healthcare for their next target. They will ban abortion again given the chance and they will come after contraception after that. The anti-choice movement is our govt right now. #nzpol
