NEW: LGBTQ+ publisher PinkNews is making its remaining reporters redundant, saying it wants to “move away from having a reporter-led newsroom” to a model where there “isn’t a need for the reporter role” In redundancy meetings, reporters were told that “what we’re consulting on is that we don’t feel we need the reporter role anymore” Multiple sources said they were told regarding the redundancy wave that PinkNews was looking to shift to a reporter-free newsroom
1.4 Transmedicalism Among what is being proposed is a series of administrative changes mandating more doctor oversight of trans women on estrogen. These changes would end informed consent for trans women seeking estrogen, and return the system to one where doctors had the right to prevent medical transitions based on dubious clinical criteria. In reality, this kind of system has historically meant doctors gatekeeping trans women who weren’t straight and/or who they didn't find hot. In other words, transmedicalism. The document explicitly suggests “the Finnish model” over the informed consent model used for adults in most of the United States. Finnish transmedicalism is notable for not only asking invasive questions, mandating invasive psychotherapy, and otherwise using clinical cover to abuse aspiring transsexuals (people who want to transition medically) to limit the number of practicing transsexuals (people who do transition medically), but also for assigning teenagers ‘homework’ that included masturbation and forcing them to tell doctors about their sexual fantasies. Under transmedicalist regimes, unwillingness to comply with such invasive requirements can mean being barred from medical transition. This level of invasiveness is common to transmedicalist clinics, and not unique to Finland.
However, it should be emphasized that this proposal has not been adopted by the FDA. It is up for public comment, but that does not mean that its adoption is inevitable.

6. Conclusion It is very important to once again note that these changes have not yet happened. DIY HRT is still legal, and it is possible to stockpile it. An unused vial of estrogen that is kept at room temperature away from light sources can stay good for two to five years.

Correction on Lurie Story: Hospital Has Rolled Back Trans Youth Care, But Protests Were From Last Year Erin Reed Jan 22 EITM is issuing a correction regarding yesterday’s story on Lurie Children’s Hospital rolling back care for transgender youth. While the core of our reporting remains accurate—Lurie Children’s has indeed announced a shameful capitulation to the Trump administration by cutting access to vital care for new patients, a decision that is already causing chaos for families in

Teen Vogue is joining Vogue.com, a transition that’s part of a broader push to expand the Vogue ecosystem. The title will remain a distinct editorial property, with its own identity and mission; sitting under the Vogue umbrella will provide a more unified reader experience across titles. Chloe Malle, Vogue’s head of editorial content, who was appointed to the role in September, will now oversee Teen Vogue. Editor-in-chief Versha Sharma will be leaving the company. “I remember when Teen Vogue launched, I read every page on the bus home from cross-country practice. I loved it then and I love and respect it now and am committed to continuing and supporting its point of view and sensibility,” says Malle. As a dedicated pillar on Vogue, Teen Vogue will focus its content on career development, cultural leadership and other issues that matter most to young people, according to the publication.

s access to the means of changing sex have grown, and as these means have become more effective at changing our secondary sex characteristics, a growing importance has been placed on these tools. As I have argued, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is not just a set of tools, it is the very means by which we take control of our own bodies. It ought to be protected and cherished. At the same time, the rise of fascism has put access to HRT in jeopardy. Wherever fascism takes hold in government, in the medical system, and in the hearts of doctors, access to transsexual medicine is cut off. These forces try to enforce a monopoly of medicine over those they see as undeserving of it. That result is that anyone reliant on their doctors for hormones is either cut off, or forced to follow the demands of others. This attack on our basic needs is intolerable. It also puts into focus how our needs are quite different from some groups under the transgender label. Some trans people need cross-sex hormones to live. Some trans people don't.
