Every trans person and ally must boycott voting not only for these three Democrats, but any other House Democrats from the states (Texas, North Carolina) who don't condemn and disavow Cuellar, Gonzalez, and Davis for this sickening betrayal. There is no space in the tent for genocidal policies.
Three Democrats (Cuellar, Gonzalez, and Davis) joined the Republicans to pass Marjorie Taylor Greene's federal ban on gender affirming care through the House of Representatives.
It is repugnant that the federal government won't give people health care, but it will TAKE IT AWAY from trans people.

Fuck the three Democrats who were the difference on this passing and especially fuck the Democratic leaders who made no effort to whip them into line and who will do nothing to punish them after the fact. I will never support a party who cannot pass the most basic tests of human decency.
Had the three Dems who voted for this held the line and voted no, they could have blocked it.

The “tired” you feel when chronically ill is very different than a healthy person’s version of “tired”.
A healthy person can take a nap and feel 100%.
They can have a coffee and perk up.
