Not Losing You: Heartrending PSA supporting trans youth during this divisive election

Jurist News reports that a study collected survey data between 2018 and 2022 and found that suicide attempts for transgender and non-binary (TGNB) youths increased by seven to 72 percent a year after the enactment of anti-transgender legislation. 

Do you know what it feels like to be watching an NFL game with friends and family and being blindsided by a hateful ad targeting your soul?

The pain is nearly unbearable. Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and others know what they are doing. They are killing us. That is why this PSA is so important.

In a Major Win for trans rights, the EU High Court ruled that denying transgender prisoners HRT is a violation of their human rights.

The European Court of Human Rights ruled in the case of W.W. vs Poland that denying hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to a trans woman in a Polish prison violated her rights under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. This decision is a major win for trans people in prison, who often face barriers to trans-specific healthcare, reports Transgender Europe (TGEU)

Key takeaways:

• First of its kind: This ruling marks the first time the Court has explicitly recognized the importance of HRT for trans people in prison, affirming it as essential, life-saving healthcare.
• A positive step for trans rights: The decision underscores that States are obliged to provide access to necessary trans-specific healthcare, including in prison settings.
• A need for systemic change: The case reveals the systemic barriers and discrimination faced by trans people in prison, from delays in accessing care to the broader issue of transphobia within institutions.

TGEU is a member-based organisation committed to fostering strong trans movements. Read more about this ruling at the Strasbourg Observers
