Reminder to all the cis liberals reading this thread that RFK mandating that the federal government kill trans kids (and torture the survivors with lifelong trauma) by banning the LIFESAVING CARE on which they depend to exist is JUST AS BAD as him crusading against vaccines.

At the HHS announcement yesterday announcing proposed rules to ban GAC, they said trans people are "at the root of the evils we face" and are "a hatred for nature as God designed it and for life as it was meant to be lived.”
Just in case you thought it was about concerns for proper healthcare.

would like to see more Ds make statements like this.
To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:
I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.
Your health care is still legal and protected.
I'll always fight for you.

Every trans person--including every trans child--deserves the chance to be fully themselves. I'm so sick of seeing trans folks harmed repeatedly and unrelentingly, against all reason and scientific precedent. To my trans friends--I'm so sorry the world keeps trying to dim your light.

They developed the "high school girl's sports" angle as a wedge issue, to lever their way up to full society-wide discrimination. What's endlessly stunning to me is how many purported liberals a) helped them when it started & b) are still helping them even after the larger purpose has become clear!

Gift idea for someone who loves a good heist (even if it’s you): I really enjoyed THE PAYBACK by @kashana.blacksky.app. Loved the main character & the clever, mundanely dystopian premise, and found the writing sharp, funny, and stylish (in more ways than one - I learned about fashion!). Recommend!

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Hospitals have pulled back on gender-affirming care for kids under Trump, leaving families with shrinking options
The shrinking options are leading to lapses in care and delays in time-sensitive treatments. “It’s basically an abandonment of these kids,” one mother said.
