In June 2015, the Supreme Court ruled that marriage is a fundamental right guaranteed by the 14th Amendment that must be afforded to same-sex couples.
Since then, anti-LGBTQ activists, with funding from creepy right-wing billionaires and help from Republican state legislators in gerrymandered “red” states, have sought new ways to marginalize and bully LGBTQ people. To fracture the unity of LGBTQ people and their allies, the legislative attacks have targeted transgender people. First manufactured concerns about bathroom access, next trans people’s ability to participate in sports, and most recently, attacks on transgender youths and their bodies with the increasing trend of criminalizing trans medicine.
How has the medical community responded to the criminalization of practices, which are the standard of care for gender dysphoria, and the insertion of legislators who want to prohibit parents of trans youth from making decisions about their children’s medical care?
In this episode, Michigan State Professor stef shuster, who wrote the book wrote Trans Medicines - The emergence and practice of treating gender, joins host Mary Whiteside.
*Since recording, the American Medical Association has come of opposing any and all criminal penalties for patients and families attempting to access gender-affirming care and protecting physicians from legal threats for providing care.
**Also, several important Court decisions have come out stopping laws banning or limiting gender-affirming care from taking effect. Huge wins for the trans community! However, these favorable decisions will undoubtedly be appealed, so the fight is not over.
