URA Recommendation: Vote FOR "Access to Transgender Hormone Therapy"
Heralding the efforts made by GA#467 "Affordable Transgender Hormone Therapy" which ensured that transgender individuals could easily access hormone therapy for medical transition,
Recognising, however, that the resolution does not go far enough in ensuring that transgender individuals receive the medication they need, such as through the exclusion of puberty blockers from the definition of "hormone therapy",
Totally believing that a supplementary resolution is required to resolve these issues, hereby:
Defines "hormone therapy" as any medical treatment using hormones or chemicals that reduce their effect which is carried out on a person effectively and with minimal risk to their health for the sole purpose of aligning their sexual characteristics with their gender identity (or lack thereof),
Requires member nations to allow their inhabitants to seek and obtain hormone therapy with their free and informed consent, and ensure that those inhabitants face as few barriers as possible when seeking hormone therapy,
Mandates that the process of seeking and obtaining hormone therapy cost no more than the fees absolutely necessary for the manufacturing and distribution of hormone therapy, and very strongly urges member nations to waive any and all costs inhabitants may have to pay when seeking and obtaining hormone therapy,
Forbids any entity from:
denying hormone therapy to any person, except where a legitimate danger to their health would arise as a result,
requiring any person to seek or obtain hormone therapy,
coercing anyone to seek or obtain hormone therapy, and further forbids entities from coercing people to not seek or obtain hormone therapy.
This General Assembly resolution was written by Honeydewistania to improve hormone therapy access. You can find the forum thread here.
This resolution expands the scope of hormone therapy access by supplementing GAR#467 "Affordable Transgender Hormone Therapy". Specifically, member states are mandated to allow citizens to have access to hormone therapy; the cost of such treatment must be minimized such that only manufacturing and distribution costs are passed on to the user. Coercing individuals to take or not to take hormone therapy is also forbidden. The Alliance supports the rights of transgender people to undergo the therapy they need, and believes that this resolution furthers that cause. Therefore, the URA is supportive of this resolution.
