SOURCE: STAT NEWS MENTAL HEALTHTITLE: Why affirming trans identities can be critical for suicide prevention counseling
Specialized counseling services for LGBTQ+ youth will return to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by the end of the year, the Trump administration confirmed last month. But young people looking to “press 3” for that support may encounter an altered experience, as federal health officials want to ensure the services comply with President Trump’s executive order last year that essentially denies the existence of transgender and nonbinary identities.
The Trump administration shuttered the LGBTQ+ youth specialty services last July, but soon after, a congressional appropriations bill directed $33.1 million toward reinstating the line. The law indicates that services should support all LGBTQ+ youth.

just had to fire my psychiatrist before we even really got started.
found out he misgendered me during a call with my psychologist. when she corrected him, he didn't apologize. he got defensive and said he "never talked about pronouns" with me, like that somehow makes it ok?? also, I clearly stated to him during our first appointment that I am a trans woman, and have gender dysphoria.
that's not a miscommunication. thats a provider who isn't safe for trans patients. and im not gonna spend my limited energy educating someone who should already know better.
finding affirming mental healthcare is hard enough. we shouldn't also have to fight just to be seen correctly by the people that are supposed to help us.
