For some Americans, commemorating May 17, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), means living in fear. Some transgender adults are rationing gender afirming medications in fear that the Trump regime will end their access to these life-saving medications, Stephanie Stahl reports.
There's growing fear in the transgender community that the Trump administration will restrict their access to needed medications. Many states already have laws against minors getting gender affirming drugs. There are currently no restrictions on trans adults getting their prescriptions. Stephanie Stahl reports that many are worried it could happen.
For some Transgender Americans, commemorating IDAHOBIT is just another day living in fear that Trump will curtail their access to life-saving medications. That fear is sadly justified as the report by HHS on gender dysphoria that was just released calls for the end of gender affirming medical treatments and replacing that with conversion therapy, a process that is outlawed in 27 states.
