It's a great day to call your reps and support trans people ❤️
More democratic senators are saying they haven't seen the part of the bill outlawing gender affirming care for trans people on medicaid/medicare.
HERE'S A SCRIPT FOR YOU WITH SPECIFICS ON WHERE IT IS. Call your reps and point their eyeballs directly to SECTION 71117

If you aren't sure what to say, this is what I said to my democratic senators (Booker and Kim)
You will also prob have to provide your name and zip code. When I called, I didn't get a real person and left a message.

All of it 😈 I want all the queer and disabled and BIPOC experiences so everyone can see themselves in what they're reading! I want every marginalized community to get to write every trope until we're all sick of seeing our specific combo of labels fake date or fight demon crocodiles or what have you

Jen's struggles with ADHD mirror my own--the "why can't I just do this," the shoulding, the shame and frustration around all of that--and I want anyone who reads it to know that it's okay to accommodate their brain and there's nothing wrong with needing a different path

Trevor’s research has led to meaningful defenses of queer and trans lives.
Take the survey

I need cis people to understand that if this bill passes, thousands of trans people will die.
That's not hyperbole. That's not sensationalism. That's fact.
You know the genocide of trans people in the United States you refuse to acknowledge? It's here.

I needed to be much clearer in my now-escaped thread (see below) and so should have the OP that the FDA has announced PLANS. It has not carried out those plans yet. We can push back. We can try to get a shot. Don't close the window for them. bsky.app/profile/alys...
It is not too late to push back on the FDA’s attempts to limit vaccine access. Believe me, you want to fight for this even if you think Covid is over. They do not plan to stop here. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

They're literally trying to keep people from getting the COVID vaccine. Commenting here is an easy and quick way to push back.
The comment period for this ends in 3 DAYS. Please leave a comment telling them EVERYONE should be able to get covid boosters.
