Please please please talk to your trans friends. Ask them how they're doing. Listen to them. This is the type of shit we wake up to every day.
I wish I could just make silly sound posts on this account, but me and my trans siblings are facing genocide.

At the HHS announcement yesterday announcing proposed rules to ban GAC, they said trans people are "at the root of the evils we face" and are "a hatred for nature as God designed it and for life as it was meant to be lived.”
Just in case you thought it was about concerns for proper healthcare.

1. The federal government has just attempted to enact a national trans youth care ban.
A new HHS rule would shutter most gender-affirming care for trans youth nationwide.
It violates multiple laws and the constitution, and will likely go into effect in a few months.
