My son is on blockers legally from before the ban and we did everything they told us to do and now we are being threatened with social services if we don't allow them to "safely withdraw" medication. They admit that the impact will be "stark" for our kids but they are going to do it anyway.

"Laura fears all will be lost if ICB Sussex forces her child off the medication.

If ICB Sussex get their own way in a matter of weeks and they force detransition, Olive may well take her life."

@sethmoulton.bsky.social pushing Fenway to restore trans care for clients under 19 is the only thing you can do to fix your anti trans reputation

In what way is stripping rights away from trans people and discriminating against them “live and let live”? Thats the opposite of live and let live.

Also, what is the “militant transgender identity community”? This is what Trump calls trans people.

And how is equal rights “special treatment”?

You don’t seem to understand science actually. If you start sex testing for XY or XX chromosomes you’ll find a lot of cis women have XY chromosomes. Like this woman Ewa Kłobukowska who failed a sex test due to presence of Y chromosome and then gave birth to her son the next year.

Okay so you’re just transphobic. We have a right to bodily autonomy, medically necessary life saving healthcare and full inclusion in society. I won’t vote Newsom even if he wins the primary and the fact that “liberal” transphobes like you love him validates my choice.

Teen Vogue eliminated all their Black and trans staff today.

It's resegregation in real time.

Lex McMenamin (they/them) @leximcmenamin.com · 22h

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.

Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

According to a Holocaust researcher, most LGBTQ+ people were reported by their own communities. Up to 1/3 were reported by friends and family. Most damningly, “I have not found one single instance of a straight person risking, helping, protecting a queer and trans person during this history”

Perhaps most significantly, researchers have learned that queer people were largely reported by people in their own communities. As many as a third of LGBTQ+ people who were arrested were denounced, that is reported to the Nazis, by their friends and family.
Holocaust history is full of non-Jews risking their lives to help Jews under Nazi rule. Newsome feels the same cannot be said of most straight people for their LGBTQ+ neighbors.
"I have not found one single instance of a straight person risking, helping, protecting a queer and trans person during this history," Newsome said. "Not a single one. And that's a hard pill to swallow."

Why should I support Newsom’s proposition after he betrayed trans Californians by vetoing SB 418 a bill that would have protected us from forced detransition? It’ll pass most likely but i won’t be part of propping up his presidential campaign

Nessie @supernessie64.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah 😭 I’m really hoping they aren’t able to. I could see McConnell, Paul, Collins, Murkowski and possibly even Tillis opposing that

The elimination of the filibuster at the start of the Trump administration would be the most disastrous thing to happen for trans people federally.

The policies it would usher in would make what we've seen the first 11 months feel like a cakewalk.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 4d

If they eliminate the filibuster, it means national bans on gender affirming care, bathroom bans, a sports ban, gender marker bans, elimination of legal recognition etc. It will make life unlivable for trans people in the US, even in blue states. It's a worst case scenario.

Protest tomorrow at Fenway Health at noon over abandoning trans youth. If you're in Boston, come out and support.

A colorful flyer with a textured background promoting an event titled “Paint and Protest for Trans Care.” The text reads:

“Saturday, 11/1, @12pm - 1340 Boylston St. - @ProtectTransFutures.”

It invites people to join for an afternoon of sign making, chalk art, and hot chocolate to show support for gender-affirming care at Fenway Health. It states the protest welcomes community members of all ages and encourages bringing friends, kids, and neighbors. It also mentions that those unable to attend can donate art supplies by contacting @ProtectTransFutures on Instagram.

At the bottom, bold text reads:
“OUR GOAL: Bring the Boston community together to show Fenway Health that we won’t turn our backs on trans youth. Healthcare is a human right.”

Logos for ACT UP Boston and Protect Trans Futures (PTF) appear at the bottom.

So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.
