At least eight states are currently deliberating bills that, if passed, would outlaw transgender minors' access to gender-affirming medical treatments.
Gender-affirming treatment should be better known as "Suicide-Prevention Treatment"
Trans kids have ridiculously high rates of self-harm.
Giving them time to work out their true feelings by delaying puberty with hormone blockers saves lives.
Making sure kids have access to treatments that help them be their honest selves SAVES LIVES.

.@BULQwholesale is one of the things I'm most proud of being able to build while at @optoroinc. We created a whole new way for people to create flexible incomes and leverage their knowledge and skills by turning small lots of inventory into cash. Check it out at this event!
To say a little more: this is the best of human-AI partnership. Optoro's algorithms can only reasonably know so much about the value of inventory being classified and graded at warehouses.
