Last night, we were one of the first outlets to report the ADULT ban on gender affirming care for Medicaid recipients who depend on it to access it.
This morning, that bill passed 215-214-1.
It now goes to the senate.
It's a bleak day for transgender Americans.

1. Terrifying news for transgender people across the United States. In a late night development, the House Spending Bill was amended to ban transgender coverage for transgender ADULTS on medicaid!
A manager's amendment removed the words "for minors."

As someone who reads alot of scientific papers for work, this looks like it was written by a massive group of high school kids for a science project lmao
Lol. They released their 400 page US version of the Cass Review and refused to even name who the authors were. It's a glorified book report.
Anyway, this is out now y'all. I'll be looking it over today.

1. In a new leaked memo, Pam Bondi is directing the DOJ to go after trans care providers under "anti-FGM" laws.
She also has directed the investigation of HRT manufacturers.
She calls transgender people "infectious."

1. Six years ago, during the hardest winter of my life, I found myself again. A month later, I found myself again, under a cherry blossom tree.
On Trans Day of Visibility this year, we travel through our toughest winter.

1. Yesterday, Minnesota State Senator Justin Eichorn was arrested on charges of soliciting a minor.
He's previously cosponsored a bill that would require genital checks for sports in order to ban trans people from sports.

Minnesota Anti-Trans State Senator Arrested For Soliciting A Minor
Anti-trans elected officials appear to be far more likely to be a danger to minors than drag queens or transgender people.

1. Finally some fight.
"Have you no decency!?" asked Rep. Keating after a Republican rep called Sarah McBride "Mr. McBride" repeatedly.
McBride shot back, calling the chairman "Madam Chairman."
Fireworks erupted, Dems protested, and the hearing was cancelled.

If anyone has access to the Marco Rubio cable banning trans athletes from US entry and targeting trans people's visas, please message me. The wording of the reporting here is very vague on if this will apply to ALL trans entrants or only athletes.

I told a Republican colleague that I'd been sick this weekend, and he made a heartfelt plea for me to try ivermectin.
I told him I'd give it a go if he got on a regular dose of estrogen 😇

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students.

1. Getting word that we have another anti-trans EO tonight, this time targeting teachers.
It directs the federal government to work with state AGs to put teachers who use trans kids pronouns in jail through "sexual exploitation" laws or "practicing medicine without a license."

I want to be clear about where we stand with the EO:
The battlefield is now revealed. We know the pieces on it and their plans. It doesn't mean its lost or immediate.
But Trump has fired his first shot.
Implementation will take time and challenges are sure to come. Stay strong, its a marathon.

Messages of hate like this are fully pouring out of the Republican caucus today. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t watched anti-trans legislation the last several years knows exactly how rabid Republicans become on this issue when a trans person is in the room as their equal.
