this paragraph here is the perfect summary of why we don't see safety in this smarmy jagoff…just a different, more insidious kind of danger

a screenshot of the linked article. it reads as follows, with the text in brackets highlighted in yellow for emphasis:

“Some may argue, as they often do when transgender people raise concerns about Gavin Newsom, that the alternative would be worse. And in many respects, Trump or whatever Trump-like candidate emerges in 2028 would be worse than Newsom on a host of issues. But even here, for transgender people, the calculation is not so straightforward. Right now, the community has one thing going for it: one major political party still passes protective legislation and has not joined the litany of anti-trans policies escalating in red states. [If that fragile dichotomy collapses—if Democrats too decide that transgender people can be sacrificed for political gain—the result will not be a lesser evil.] It will be a political consensus that our rights are gone, and that outcome could be even worse.

Heads up, the fight is not over with respect to the trans care medicaid amendment. Marjorie Taylor Greene has reintroduced it on the House side. Call your house reps now and tell them not to approve it. Even republicans, especially moderate Republicans.

News: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced an amendment to the reconciliation bill to bring back the Medicaid ban on gender-affirming care

The Senate removed it this morning and the parliamentarian disqualified the provision from reconciliation

hi, cis folks!

the GOP put the all-ages trans medicaid ban back in the budget, despite it being struck. they did it to force dems to challenge it on the floor.

if you've been paying attention, you know dems need to hear you want them to actually stand up to the GOP. contact info at reps.fyi 🧵

Rep. Dan Crenshaw tweets

GOOD NEWS: after the rogue parliamentarian struck my amendment to ban taxpayer funding for transgender treatments, Republican
Senators put it BACK in the bill anyway. This means they are daring the Democrats to
vote against it in a "point of order." It's a good bet to take. For one thing, nothing to lose so why not try? But second, I believe the Democrats won't want to pick this battle. This is a very very popular provision. I think the Democrats know they've lost the battle. The science isn't on their side and neither is the public.

You simply do not need to erase the existence of LGBTQ+ parents in order to cover the Mahmoud decision.

I’ve been “spreading propaganda” about LGBTQ+ families since 1992: at my episcopal preschool and at my public elementary, middle and high schools. Nobody could opt out because it was just who I was (see 8th grade photo).

This will not only hurt queer students, but also COLAGErs and their families.

1. We are seeing a massive amount of overcompliance with Trump EOs. Nonprofits across the board are erasing transgender people from their websites.

Mira Lazine reports on several that have made the decision to do so in her latest piece.

As a very small act of resistance, which is to continue creating reliable science content for non-scientists, I’ve decided to revive my podcast from 2022. The first episode of season 2 will be released on March 10th on all podcast platforms!

1. After a federal judge ruled that websites containing LGBTQ+ information at the CDC must be restored, the Trump administration did so... but then also added snide and incorrect anti-trans headers to them.

Anti-Trans Headers Placed On Websites Judge Ordered Trump To Restore
