On the issues of concern to us here, this is an easy action we can all take: https://who-decides.org/ Here is the purpose of the petition:

“We, the undersigned, strongly object to the World Health Organization's (WHO) biased panel tasked with creating new transgender health guidelines. Of the 21 panel members, over three-fourths are transgender activists. The few physicians either specialize in HIV or are “gender doctors.” There is currently a worldwide explosion of teenagers wishing to undergo a sex change; WHO’s stated plan to promote hormones and “legal recognition of self-identified gender” will harm innumerable gender-dysphoric youth, gays, lesbians and other women. WHO must cancel this group's first planned meeting in February and go back to the drawing board.”

(In my own sig, I specified myself as “woman” and my affiliation as “Democratic.” Both are optional, but may be useful to include, if desired.)

SEGM has an excellent explainer on the WHO Guideline plans here: https://segm.org/world-health-organization-transgender-guidelines. As you’ll see, absolutely everything is wrong with WHOs process, short timeframe for comment, and over the holidays, closing 1/8; composition of the advisory panel (one activist member’s pronouns are “they/them/that bitch”--see this thread from Leor Sapir on that: https://twitter.com/LeorSapir/status/1741210385108136119)
