Less than 1%.
That’s the percentage of #transgender patients who report regret after gender-affirming procedures.
That proportion is even more striking when compared to the fact that 14.4% of the broader population reports regret after similar surgeries.

Ben Barres was a trailblazing transgender neurobiologist who promoted equity & diversity.
His pioneering research on glial cells changed science & he became the 1st #trans person admitted into the National Academies of Science.
Barres was a strong advocate for women, early career scientists & the #LGBTQ+ community at a time when few people openly discussed gender identity. https://www.forbes.com/sites/matthewherper/2017/12/28/mourning-ben-barres-the-transgender-scientist-who-changed-neuroscience/ #history #science
Excerpt from his autobiography: https://stanmed.stanford.edu/ben-barres-autobiography-transgender-scientist/
“#Florida cannot prohibit a 10th grade math teacher from asking her students to call her by her preferred pronouns, a federal judge has ruled.
The decision from the US district judge is a blow to an anti-#LGBTQ law championed by #DeSantis, which prohibits discussion of sexuality in public schools. 2023 expansion of the measure, widely known as the “Don’t Say Gay” law, prohibits teachers and students from using pronouns that align with their gender identity.”

Here’s some I put together today on my art cards
Today in LGBTQ History, May 17 is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT). This date was chosen to commemorate the 1990 decision to remove homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2009, the WHO added transphobia to the name of the campaign, and organized activities that year to highlight and end. The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness of violence, discrimination, and repression of LGBT communities throughout the world.

I’ve been friends with this gay couple for a couple of years. We have each other over for dinner pretty regularly. A while back, they gave me the exciting news that they’re having a baby and I asked about the surrogate.
Friends, there is no surrogate. So yes, men can get pregnant. Dudes you know.
