This week on the program we examine the distressing news that Queensland’s LNP State Government has doubled down on their ban on young people seeking access to gender affirming care.The ban on accessing puberty blockers and hormone treatment for new adolescent patients in the public health system was initially put in place in January this year, and on October 28 was immediately reinstated by the Queensland State Government after being overturned in a Supreme Court Challenge brought by the mother of a trans child.We speak with Brianna Hammond, President of QTrans, and Piper Valkyrie from Magandjin People's Pride to understand the context of the ban, its impact on young people trying to access gender affirming care and what the response has been so far from the trans and gender diverse community and their allies.You can donate to Project 491 to help facilitate access to care for the young people shut out of the Queensland Public Health system.You can also sign the petition to reinstate care for trans young people.If today's episode has been distressing for you or someone you care about you can reach out to QLife for support.
