Switzerland has formally rejected the introduction of non-binary identities onto official records and a third gender option has now been shot down.
The Swiss Government may erase non-binary people on their records, but they cannot erase their existence 💪

Trans kids already distrust medical professionals. The latest war on trans healthcare is making this worse. See this quote from my research on a 5 year old's experience at the GP:
![‘The doctor turned to me with [Child] in the room and said “If you told (him) to behave (himself), (he) wouldn't be doing this”. I literally collapsed internally. I really did…And as we were leaving the doctor's surgery, he (child) said, “Am I naughty? Am I naughty for being [Child’s affirmed name]?” And I had to say, “Don't listen to that doctor”. I mean, how messed up is that to say to a 5-year-old? That's like saying, when the lollipop lady tells you to cross the road? Ignore her. She doesn't have a fucking clue what she's talking about’.
