Vermont's GOP Governor Shock: Protects Trans Care, Abortion Rights

I feel like so many transmasc/ftm resources revolve around T and binding and physical and/or surgical transition, and not enough resources about therapy, about the emotional and mental health issues transmasc/ftm folks face, about community, etc etc.
And as a trans man who as of yet has not begun medical or surgical transition, and has never and will never bind (which I consider physical transition) due to medical reasons, it's frankly quite alienating.
I think it's great that there are resources (though slim) about top surgery and T and binding, but transmascs/ftm folks also face unique mental health challenges and emotional and social experiences that just aren't addressed even in transmasc/ftm spaces.
Fucking sucks, y'all.
Where are the resources about navigating relationships and social situations as a transmasc/ftm? About safe sex and sexual pleasure? About how to find a trans-inclusive therapist? About how to navigate the healthcare system, especially the reproductive healthcare system, as a transmasc/ftm? These are all very important issues that just get constantly overshadowed.

I'm kinda surprised I see no one on this site talking about the state wide trans care ban that the governor is trying to implement in Ohio but then again it's Ohio and nobody seems to care about this state.

Literally sobbing. HB68 passed and goes to Senate in Ohio.
“HB 68 would make it illegal for Ohio doctors to provide anything beyond talk therapy for all transgender minors − even those on hormones and puberty blockers. Families wishing to continue those treatments would have to leave the state.”
So officially we have no choice but to leave to continue our child’s gender affirming care. Sorry to spam everyone with our gofundme page but I’ll attach it again to this post. My heart is broken for all trans kids here, and I’m sick to my stomach with anxiety about making this move happen as soon as possible. Please share if you can.

Two weeks! The numbers are low and I am once again asking for your support...
I'd just like to plug a couple of great organizations while I've got your attention here, for others who may be traveling anywhere for gender affirming care or need help in San Francisco/New York City:
The Queer Trans Project (partnered with Elevated Access) can provide free flights for gender affirming care including, but not limited to, surgery. No proof of gender or financial need necessary. There is a short application, and they've been quick about responding to my questions. You are allowed to take someone with you. Baggage may be limited, especially if they find you a private flight. I'm waiting to hear back about this, but it's an amazing service and I'm hopeful that it will go well.
QueerCareInc is a volunteer service in San Francisco and New York City that offers in-person post-op support as well as some financial support. They are not medical professionals, but they are able to help with basic care, and also with things like cooking, cleaning, pets, children, medications, bandage changes, drain drainings, social and emotional support, etc. I've only had a brief text conversation and an introductory video call so far, but the person I spoke to was very professional and friendly. They explained that there aren't many volunteers so they may not be able to help me a lot, but having the resource available is absolutely going to save me, because I'm going to be on the other side of the country, completely alone.
All this to say that there are more resources out there than you think, and the world is full of good people who will help you.

Trans Care by Hil Malatino
goodreads
Tumblr media
What does it mean for trans people to show up for one another, to care deeply for one another? How have failures of care shaped trans lives? What care practices have trans subjects and communities cultivated in the wake of widespread transphobia and systemic forms of trans exclusion? Trans Care is a critical intervention in how care labor and care ethics have been thought, arguing that dominant modes of conceiving and critiquing the politics and distribution of care entrench normative and cis-centric familial structures and gendered arrangements. A serious consideration of trans survival and flourishing requires a radical rethinking of how care operates.
Mod opinion: I haven't read this essay collection, but it sounds incredibly interesting and I hope I'll get to check it out sometime soon.

Trans care in the UK: it's not as bad as the worst red states in the US, but it is still bad.

a favorite gaming essayist of mine made this great video with the help of many other trans folks online. Thought I should share to game the algorithim and help my trans sisters.

I have also felt compelled to write about trans archives and hirstoricity, because a common feature of trans arts of cultivating resilience has to do with turning to the historical record for proof of life, for evidence that trans lives are livable because they've been lived. Care enters here, as well, because we turn to the archive for the purposes of support and self-care, but in that turning we are also confronted with the ineffability and alterity of these personages—many of them only a trace, a suggestion, a minor life only lightly embroidered upon the scraps to which we have access. How do we care for these traces of past lives that haunt us in ways that are loving, insofar as they offer a balm through providing evidence of past trans flourishing and joy, and terrifying, because they testify to the conditions of intensive violence that these subjects lived within and through? How do we care for these ghosts that take such care of us?
