I don’t want to diminish how bad the situation is in the US but news like this just make me wonder: what about us from the countries where it never was better than the current Trump policy level? You know, Asia, CIS, Africa, portions of South America.
I could never even dream to receive such healthcare and government attention as I hear our NA comrades get. I worked for years to afford orchi and any other surgery is way beyond my means especially with how hard it is to get a job as a trans person – do you want to know how many times I had to explain that I am not “insane” in a job interview only to obviously never get called back? I’ve never seen non-DIY HRT or doctors who actually know anything about trans people beyond the ICD-10 basics if that. I had to change my citizenship to be allowed to change my name and gender marker. Where is my asylum?
