LGBT Groups Challenge Medicare’s Refusal to Provide Healthcare to Transgender Patients - More coverage on the fight to end healthcare discrimination against transgender individuals.

Legal documents in the United States only recognize “male” and “female” as genders, leaving anyone who does not identify as one of these two genders with no option. Australia and New Zealand both allow an X in place of an M or an F on passports for this purpose, and the UK recognizes ‘Mx’ (pronounced “Mix”) as a gender-neutral title.

This petition asks the Obama administration to legally recognize genders outside of the male-female binary, and provide an option for these genders on all legal documents and records.

Please signal boost and sign this petition. The title is a link.

Today, I created a Facebook group called TransDads. A group exclusivly for Transgender, Trans*, FTM, etc. fathers to connect with each other.  

As a Trans Dad myself, I’ve found it difficult to connect with other Trans Dads over the last couple years. Luckily, I’ve come across people in other groups but there isn’t anything dedicated to Dads. We all share a unique experience and I’m hoping to provide a platform which makes it easier for Trans Dads  to “meet” and share their stories. 

If you know anyone who could benefit from joining a group like this one please share the link.

Best,

I’ve recently encountered the issues facing many transgender people, finding health care providers that will accommodate for transgender needs. Here in Connecticut the options for starting HRT are down to a single doctor in state who does not take state insurance, making it impossible for many…

Any trans folk in Conneticut should definitely help this cause!
