VIDEO #LegalAbortion for pregnant people: "My name is Tom, I'm a trans guy and I had an abortion"
“My name is Tom. I’m a trans guy. I had an abortion several years ago. It was at an illegal clinic in Rosario.” This is how the spot for the series “We Are Stories. Our lives, our health, our decisions matter” begins. It was produced by Mujeres Audiovisuales (Women in Audiovisual Media), Trabajadoras Independientes del Campo Audiovisual (Independent Workers in the Audiovisual Field), and Actrices Argentinas (Argentine Actresses) to support the bill of the National Campaign for the Right to Legal, Safe, and Free Abortion and to demand legal abortion for pregnant people.
#Censorship Facebook shut down a page of lesbian activists who provide information about abortion
The website "Abortion Helpline: More Information, Fewer Risks," run by the organization Lesbians and Feminists, had been online for ten years and provided information on how to have an abortion using pills.

I'm a trans man and I had an abortion: no one knows what to do with our bodies.
Abortion for trans men is an issue that is still only just beginning to be addressed in public health. Statistics are practically nonexistent regarding this population, but the obstacles we face are the same as those women face when seeking abortions. It's just that we're not talked about.
