Sovereignty tribal groups emphasize while the federal reserve is causing to care for the assertion of both sexes

Elcu, Nefert-At the Soul Conference in North Nevada in June, the original Americans gathered to support the LGBTQ community+ amid federal and government declines of transgender and gender health care.

“I want people not to kill themselves,” said the organizer Mick Mendes, a transient citizen and a citizen from the Fort Hall Shushon Banglack tribe in the state of Idahu. “I want people to love their lives and grow up to tell their stories.”

The indigenous Americans use “two souls” to describe a distinct gender outside males or females.

The conference in Elko reflects how some tribal citizens support members of the LGTBQ community+ as President of Donald Trump with protection and policies. In March, the National Council for Indian Health, which represents and calls for the original tribes recognized in the federation and Alaska, Decision passed Declaration of tribal sovereignty on issues affecting the health of the original American society, including obtaining the sponsorship of sexual stimulation.

The decision calls on the federal government to preserve and expand programs that support the health and welfare of Americans and the two. Jessica Leson, the owner of the Raven Group, a general advisory group for public consulting, and a member of the Indian Kitcikan community, said that tribes and tribal organizations move how to support their sovereignty without exposing the relations and resources that support their societies.

In January, Trump signed an executive order that is recognized Only two sexes Males and females – and the other to finish Diversity, fairness and inclusion Programs within the federal government.

Indian health service site The description of two people from the soul was removed this year, but it was restored after the court order. The page now contains the evacuation of responsibility in the upper part that announces any information about “promoting gender ideology” “separate from the constant biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female.”

Two spirituality does not refer to a “cultural and spiritual race” recognized exclusively by the indigenous American states, “according to the definition created by the elderly in 2021. According to the leaders of the two souls, people who did not fit with the western duo of the males and females were living in their boycott before restoring.

Indeed, tribal and leaders say that some people have had difficulty reaching gender sexual care in recent months, while depriving some members of society of hormone treatments or delaying their drugs, even in places where the gender care remains legal. The panic spread, and tribal citizens thought about leaving the country.

“There is a chilling effect,” said ITai Jeffries, who is transient, not built, and spirituality, to the people of Ocaneechi from North Carolina, and a consultant to Raven Collective.

Mendez said that he asked for hormonal treatment at the local Indian health service clinic at the end of June and told her that the facility had faced a problem in receiving treatment for patients.

Lenne Hayes, a bilateral citizen of Cecison-Wahbethon in South Dakota, said the Indian health service clinic on reservation also does not dispense with the treatment of hormones, although it is legal for people who are 18 years old or older. Hayes is the owner and operator of TOPA Consulting and provides educational training on two spirit, LGTBQ+ indigenous Americans and indigenous Alaska.

The National Congress of the American Indians Pass a decision in 2015 To encourage the creation of policies to protect spiritual and dichotomals+ LGBTQ. And the organization Approved decision In 2021 to support the provision of gender affirmation of Indian health service and tribal and urban facilities.

The decision of the National Council for Indian Health in homosexuals and homosexuals is cited as contributing to the high rates of absenteeism from school, imprisonment, self -harm, suicide and suicide among spiritual youth. The Board of Directors also lists the health variations between the broader LGBTQ community, including increasing the risk of anxiety, depression and suicide.

Two youth of the soul, the duo and the enemy between the original fronts and the original Alaska Especially exposed to depression, suicideSexual exploitation. In Minnesota, Country survey 2019 I found that the original indigenous and original LGBTQ students and Alaska have the highest rates between the ages of 15 and 19 who responded “yes” to sex, sexual activity for money, food, drugs, alcohol or shelter.

Tribal leaders are also concerned that recently approved Medicaid discounts in the Trump Budget Law will undermine efforts to expand the test and treatment of HIV infection in indigenous American societies.

HIV diagnosis rate 11 % increased From 2018 to 2022, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Despite this increase, indigenous American, indigenous, and bisexual Men are among the groups with less access to HIV tests outside health care areas, such as community organizations, mobile test units and shelters.

While the tribes respond to governmental and federal regulations for the individuals of the soul, the two and thirties, organizations and societies focus on providing information and resources to protect those in the Indian country, even from the president.

Hayes said: “He will never wipe our identity, regardless of what he is doing.”
