  • Commonly known as the UN biodiversity summit, COP16 is a meeting of government officials from around the world — likely including some heads of state — to figure out how to stop ecological collapse. COP, which stands for “conference of the parties,” brings together environmental leaders and officials from countries that are part of the Convention on Biological Diversity, a global treaty under the UN to conserve nature. They meet every other year to push forward a conservation agenda.






  • The title is a bit misleading. This study isn’t evidence that gender affirmative care causes suicide. Trans people have a higher rates of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts than the general population. Therefore you’d expect that people who seek gender affirmative care would be at a higher risk than the general population

    If the study was comparing people who got gender affirmative care vs people who didn’t but were also trans then it would be more illustrative of the effects of gander affirmative care (although I expect the effects would be positive, not negative, as it should lessen never dysphoria in most people seeking it out)
