@EWagsterPettus @AP Hi Emily! There are some inaccuracies in your article about WPATH's recommendations about when adolescents can receive transition-related care. Happy to share the recent recommendations, zip us a message!

Media coverage of transgender and gender diverse people has an impact. Today, we signed a letter with @glaad and over 100 other orgs to demand better, more accurate coverage.
We’ve had enough. We’ve joined over 100 organizations and leaders to demand that @nytimes stop printing inaccurate and harmful misinformation about transgender people and issues. Today we are outside of the Times building to send a clear message.
