Još nekoliko ličnih iskustava o pristupu lečenju osoba sa sindromom hroničnog zamora (ME/CFS), dokazanim uzrocima/izazivačima i donedavno dominantnom pristupu psihijatrije (i ne samo nje) zbog kojih su ljudi gubili dragoceno vremepre nego što im je bolest utvršena - i još uvega gube širom sveta i ovde jer se još uvek ne zna dovoljno da bi lečenje bilo idpešno, najveći broj ljudi i njihovih porodica sami se snalaze. Istraživasanje na Stenfordu i nekoliko u Evropi imaju važna otkrića i delom daju rezultate, ali im nedosdstaje novac da bi bila nastavljena i stenfordsko završeno.

BREAKING🚨🏳️‍🌈 A federal judge just blocked the Trump administration from sending 14 transgender women to men's prisons where courts found they would face r**e, violence, and a serious risk of death.

This ruling on June 7 is the latest chapter in a legal battle that has been running since the first day of Trump's second term. On January 20, 2025, Trump signed an executive order directing the Bureau of Prisons to house all transgender women in men's facilities, no exceptions. The order also cut off gender-affirming medical care for all incarcerated transgender people.

The women sued. The case is called Doe v. Blanche. Yes, that Todd Blanche, now Trump's freshly nominated Attorney General, is the named defendant.

Courts have been blocking this policy repeatedly ever since. A federal judge first halted it in February 2025, ruling it likely amounted to cruel and unusual punishment. But the Trump administration kept fighting. In April 2026, a D.C. Circuit appeals court vacated that block and sent the case back to the lower court, ordering the judge to document the individualized risk to each specific plaintiff before reinstating any protection. One of the 18 original plaintiffs died during the proceedings. The number dropped to 17, then to 14 active plaintiffs.

The lower court did exactly what the appeals court asked. For each of the 14 remaining women, the court documented on the record the specific and concrete dangers they would face in a men's facility: sexual assault, physical violence, and a heightened risk of su***de. The court found those risks were "mitigable" on the government's side and catastrophic on the plaintiffs' side.

The judge issued a new preliminary injunction on June 7. The 14 women stay where they are.

The National Center for Le***an Rights, which argued the case, put it plainly: "The women protected by this order face the most horrific consequences imaginable if transferred: violence, sexual assault, and grave harm."

The administration can appeal again. It probably will. But for now, 14 women will not be placed in men's prisons tonight because a federal judge looked at the evidence and refused to let this government treat them as disposable.

Donacijom Centru "Živeti uspravno", Trg Slobode 3 Novi Sad na račun 340-5350-79 omogućavate da Centar do 29.6. nakon 9 godina i 4 meseca otkloni blokadu dela svojih računa, blokadu dela svojih računa pod kojom je s kamatomm za 14. jun 5.292.767 din.

Uz donaciju, značilo bi da pozovete poznanike/ce da doniraju.

Od 5. juna za deblokadu je donirano računa Centra donirano 34.040,29 din, a od početka opšte donacijske kampanje , pokrenute na platformo Donacoje.rs u decembru 2023. donirano je 1.706.509,84 din.

Ostatkom doniranog novca u okviru kampanje u iznosu od 4,8 miliona din. isplaćeni su tekući troškovi usluge personalne asustencije, podrške u donošenju odluka i peer podrške za 24 osobe sa invaliditetom iz 4 lokalne samouprave od maja 2023. do sada. Peer podršku 1 osoba je do oktobra 2023. koristila svakodnevno. Mimo nje, u poslednje 3 godine koristili smo je i/ili pružali više od 60 nas. Njeni ishodi su možda najveći doprinos Centra ljudima od marta 2010, kada je Vrsnjacko Savetovaliste unutar njega počelo s radom.

Na stranici Donatorima/kama na sajtu Centra možete pročitati kojim se još akcijama možete pridružiti i tim putem doniirati za deblokadu računa Centra i koji su još načini doniranja.

Hvala na svemu što smo do sada uradili! 🙏🫂

Uspemo li zajedno da odblokiramo račune, deo procesa koji je Centar 2004. pokrenuo za uvođenje usluge personalne asistencije u sistem socijalne zaštite u Novom Sadu, postaće vlasništvo svih koji su u njega uložili. Većim delom već to jeste s obzirom na to koliko se ljudi i pravnih lica od jeseni 2008. uključilo raznim vidovima doniranja i nefinansijske podrške da bi se obezbedio njen kontinuitet i potreban broj sati.

Blokada je 1 od posledica toga što je usluga personalne asistencije počela da se sufinansira namenskim gradskim sredstvima u januaru 2020. Prethodno je 10,5 godina sufinansirana dotacijama, donacijama i u okviru javnih radova, prodajom knjiga, uslužnim prevođenjem i lekturom, kreditima i pozajmicama.

📢 Independent Living is not a single service, a technical reform, or a narrow social policy goal.

It is a full transformation of society, rooted in dignity, autonomy, legal capacity, choice and control.

At the United Nations COSP19 side event "Deinstitutionalisation under the CRPD: Perspectives and Practice", ENIL Co-Chair Nadia Hadad highlighted the importance of the 18 pillars of Independent Living as a concrete, rights-based and intersectional framework for implementing Article 19 of the CRPD.

These pillars include accessible housing, barrier-free communities, transport and information, personal assistance, assistive technologies, inclusive education, access to work in the open labour market, healthcare, supported decision-making, peer support, advocacy, social protection, access to justice and freedom from institutionalisation, coercion and violence.

Independent Living cannot be achieved while disabled people are denied legal capacity, placed under guardianship, controlled by service providers, or pushed into segregated settings.

It also cannot be achieved while public money continues to fund institutions under the false language of “accessibility” or “inclusion”.

As Nadia reminded us, survivors of institutionalisation must not be treated as passive beneficiaries. They must be recognised, resourced and supported as leaders of reform.

Independent Living is not about adapting institutions.

It is about dismantling systems of exclusion and building communities where disabled people can live with freedom, equality, dignity and full participation.
