A short thread on why the Census issue is hurtful to trans people:
-
-
If you break your arm in a bicycle accident, there's a code for that. If you're involved in a spacecraft accident, there's a code. Really.
-
But since we can't use gender dysphoria codes, we have no tracking at all. Which means we have no data on health outcomes.
-
Which also means it's nearly impossible to direct resources in any meaningful way other than dropping LGBT clinics in the big cities.
-
So the census could have given us, at the very least, a denominator to understand where and how. But now we have to wait another decade.
-
Which basically equates to another decade of trans folks sharing anecdata on what works and what doesn't. Which sucks if you have no network
