For everyone in the US here, there is currently a FDA petition to create a federal registry of all trans women taking HRT. The FDA is currently taking public comments supporting and opposing the petition. Here’s a link on how to make your voice heard: https://transresilience.org/issues/fda-registry.
You can comment anonymously if you feel unsafe putting your name out there.
I’ve read some of the comments and most of them so far seem to be from transphobic ppl.
I should fucking hope so! “Register to oppose being forced to register” is exactly the kind of cynical Catch-22 bullshit the fascist regime would love to do, if they weren’t luckily too stupid to think of it.
I hate to say it, but considering how these things tend to go, y’all should probably be using some of that LLM astroturfing software to fight fire with fire.
Also, cross-post to more general-interest communities. I saw it because I read ‘All’, but not everybody does, and (short of the suggestion above) y’all are gonna need a lot more than just trans people themselves opposing it in order for it to fail.
please don’t engage in astroturfing or use LLMs, instead please write a sincere comment and follow the guidelines for commenting that are laid out:

Yeah, sorry about that. I’d like to think my comment was less of a serious suggestion and more of a pointing out of what y’all are up against, but I’m just feeling real cynical right now.
