people are real into not giving the trump regime what it wants today & that’s good because you shouldn’t, but one of the things it very much wants is to end healthcare for trans kids & even if you don’t care about trans kids (you should; shame on you), what if you told them hell no out of spite?
what should you do? call your senators.
what if they're GOP? call. some house GOP voted against both.
what should you say? try one of these scripts. make it your own! they're less than a minute with built-in bail outs. yes, you should threaten your vote.
who's your senator? tap here: reps.fyi 🧵

![FOR DEMOCRATS
my name is [your name]. two anti-transgender healthcare bills passed the house with democrat help—HR 498 and HR 3492. i’m calling today to tell senator [your senator’s name] to vote no and publicly commit to a no vote right now.
it shouldn’t be in question that any democrat would vote no on a law that says “people donald trump doesn’t like can’t get life-saving healthcare,” but here we are. no one knows where democrats stand on anything right now. the senator needs to stand up and speak up.
[you can bail out here at 30 seconds if you need to!]
every 2025 election proved you don’t need to compromise with bigots on transgender rights to win votes. not in virginia or ohio or kentucky. it’s wrong, it doesn’t work, and it alienates loyal voters. both of these bills are a no.
if senator [your senator’s name] votes yes on either of these, [he or she] loses my vote going forward. when these anti trans bills come up for a vote it absolutely must be a no from every democrat in the chamber.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2lzahebnas6od6j6jfydwst7/bafkreigmuw3qponpk5lflrqbhytzrivbrz4bpehyaxpepqdlrfjsgvdvg4@jpeg)
![FOR REPUBLICANS
my name is [your name] and i’m calling today to tell senator [your senator’s name] to vote no on two bills that passed the house december 17th and 18th: HR 498 and HR 3492.
both of these bills take away healthcare for a whole group of people. the government shouldn’t have that kind of power. this is overreach. this is an absolute no.
[you can bail out here at 20 seconds if you need to!]
the government doesn’t belong in any doctor’s office. if senator [your senator’s name] votes yes on either of these, how can i trust [him or her] to not come into my doctor’s office next? this is wrong. a yes vote loses my vote going forward.
it’s absolutely a no on HR 498 and 3492 when they come up for a vote. thank you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2lzahebnas6od6j6jfydwst7/bafkreidskeonrvoffp3upmeg5cqckmrxqx6c2ji2mwfayud74q6ovfuzdi@jpeg)

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

Congratulations, those of you who decided to platform fringe voices and create a climate of fear and hate out of ignorance because those voices insisted a non-problem was a problem. They're now on an HHS stage trying to ruin children's lives. You will live with the harm you have done forever.

Under the proposed rule issued by the Trump Administration today, any Medicare- or Medicaid-participating hospital would be barred from providing gender-affirming care to *any child*, even if the care is not paid for by Medicare or Medicaid.

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies.
This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week.
This is almost everything the government is doing.
