Protecting children is the excuse for harming transgender kids, their doctors and families.
The science is pretty clear on it. Gender affirming care works with an almost 100% positive outcome. It saves lives.
This is not about protecting kids at all, it's about hate dressed up as false concern.

one of the most egregious lies politicians invoke to drive their authoritarian agendas is that they’re pushing for x policy “to protect the kids”

Trauma is an understatement. Those of us with preexisting (C)PTSD from abuse are being triggered. Anyone who grew up with narcissists, who are rape survivors, etc are living in a nightmare.

America has been forced into a toxic relationship with Trump.
It's beyond wrong and the anguish and torture is causing so much unnecessary trauma.

A leaked memo suggests Pam Bondi wants to put a bounty on trans activists.
She wants to reward people for turning advocates into the FBI.

They went after trans people, gay people, the disabled, immigrants and the Jews.

We have an entire political party defending pedophiles. They are imprisoning immigrant children, ripping families apart.
And now they are trying to destroy the lives a transgender children. Taking their healthcare, threatening to imprison their doctors and parents.
As a woman, this enrages me.

Doctors already face criminal charges for providing reproductive healthcare in states with abortion bans.
Now they face up to 30 years for providing care to trans children.
This isn’t medicine.
This isn’t bodily autonomy.
This is the government restricting your rights.

I read project 2025. I know history. I have followed him, know his background. He speaks and acts like Hitler. He is a malignant narcissist and stochastic terrorist. He doesn't just smell like a fascist. It's like the smell of a rotting corpse, unmistakable. As a transwoman I am beyond scared.
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

Rage.
They want to claim to be morally superior and virtuous. They claim to care for life. To care for children. BULLSHIT.
So many particpated in the research, fought for our rights so no kid would grow up like me, living in fear.
This is evil, pure and simple.

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.

3. I learned a lot and became far more understanding
