Plume Clinic

In 2023, we’ve seen more than 500+ pieces of anti-trans legislation that has had a far reaching and chilling effect on gender care providers and patients. Thank you Daniel Trotta for working with Plume, the AMA and other hospital systems around the country to tell this story. https://lnkd.in/gc8AS2ij

Today is the 25th anniversary of Transgender Day of Remembrance. TDOR was founded in 1999 by trans advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith in memory of Rita Hester. It's a day where we not only honor and commemorate trans people who have tragically lost their lives to anti-trans violence, but also a day where we come together in strength and community. And, while TDOR is always a heavy day for our community, this year feels particularly so. No transgender, non-binary, or gender non-conforming person should ever have to apologize for who they are! Join us as we say their names. ??????? #plumeclinic #transgenderdayofremembrance #tdor

Trans people were here yesterday, we're here today, and we will still be here tomorrow. No election – and no amount of unsubstantiated rhetoric – can erase our existence. At Plume, we remain committed to providing life-saving, research-backed care to the trans and gender non-conforming community. We’re dedicated to teaming up with our allies to promote health equity and defend our basic rights. We've got you, we're not going anywhere, and we will get through this together! ?? #plumeclinic #transrightsarehumanrights

Hey, trans parents, we can see you ?????????. Today is Transgender Parent Day! Coming out as transgender, non-binary, or gender non-conforming as a parent takes an incredible amount of strength and trust. These journeys and experiences should be celebrated! Especially in a world where we see so many myths and misconceptions about trans people. And remember, even if you're a trans parent who's not out, your journey and experience are so important to our community. #plumeclinic #transgenderparentday #transgender #nonbinary

We're heartbroken from witnessing the devastation caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Thousands of individuals have been affected, many reporting losing their homes, their belongings and in some cases, loved ones. In response, Plume is offering members living in impacted counties temporary waivers on monthly membership fees, removal of appointment no-show fees, and urgent bridge-prescriptions (30-day supply) for those who may have misplaced or lost their medications as a result of the storms. You can also find ways to support recovery efforts on the fourth slide of this post! #plumeclinic #hurricanerecovery #hurricanehelene #hurricanemilton

For any one of us who have children in our lives, we should stop and read this report.?Years of anti-trans rhetoric and legislation have had a devastating impact on our youth. Young people have a fundamental right to access the care they need.?And that care pathway should be determined by their provider and themselves.?Not by politicians. Gender affirming care?is?lifesaving and is supported by all the major professional medical associations. We ought to do better -- our children's lives depend on it. https://lnkd.in/g9Csp4nk

?????Today marks the start of LGBTQ history month!????? While one of the most widely recognized days this month is National Coming Out Day on the 11th, there are also some you might not be aware of! These include; International Pronouns Day, Intersex Awareness Day, and Asexual Awareness Week. This month gives us many opportunities to celebrate everyone in the queer community! And, just as a reminder, trans and non-binary people are a huge part of this community and it's history. We've always been here, and we always will be! ?? #plumeclinic

For our five year anniversary, we're celebrating you! ?? Thank you for allowing us to be a part of all of your journeys, and all of you for being a part of ours. And, no matter if you've been with us for the past five years or just started last week, we're honored to be on your journey with you. ????? While there’s more work to be done, we wanted to take a moment to express our deep gratitude to our many allies and partners - THANK YOU for being there for us and, more importantly, our community. #plumeclinic

I am beyond excited for the 28th WPATH Scientific Symposium starting this week! I am honored to present on two panels this Sunday, September 29. I will be discussing how virtual gender affirming care can effectively address the medical and mental health needs of the transgender and gender diverse community with Kate Greenaway and Chris Sheridan MBACP (Accred), FRSA. I will also be joining Salym Winter, Max Mulcahy, and Dr. Jennifer Evans to talk about the impact of Florida's SB 254 which banned gender affirming hormone therapy and puberty blockers from youth and imposed severe restrictions on care for adults last year, and how different organizations have navigated these changes, including us here at Plume Clinic. Trans and gender diverse people have the right to access medically necessary and lifesaving care – just like everyone else. Gender affirming care is supported by every major medical association and backed by science, research, and global guidelines which have been around for almost 50 years. Thank you to everybody who helps provide care to TGNC people and who fights back against others who politicize and gate-keep our lives, our bodies, and our healthcare.
