Advocate [Apr 17] -- Trump HHS announces anonymous tip line, says people can now report affirming care doctors w/o violating HIPPA laws --as usual trying to accomplish through intimidation behaviors compliance with hateful policies it could not otherwise compel. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
Doctors warn of ‘terrifying’ effects as Trump creates snitch line to report gender-affirming care patients
Under the administration’s latest guidance, reporting a trans patient’s care may no longer violate HIPAA — and that’s exactly the problem, providers say.

It definitely helps a lot to share articles off Bluesky and tell people who aren't on here about the smaller independent news media you're consuming.

Today, I spoke in favor of my wife's, Rep Zooey Zephyr's, bill. HB798 would remove the ban on gay marriage in Montana, an outdated piece of code that hangs over all LGBTQ+ people's head.

1. Incredible ruling! An Ohio appeals court has ruled that trans care is healthcare, strikes down youth trans care ban!
It made the ruling using the Republican-passed "health care freedom amendment" meant to overturn Obamacare!

The reporting on the trans travel visa ban is criminal.
It does NOT only affect transgender athletes.
The cables CLEARLY say it affects all trans people. They can reject visas on point 6 of anyone who is requesting a visa that does not match their assigned sex at birth.

I have to say it is a special kind of hell to have watched all of this anti-trans rhetoric and legislation build up for the last 5 years in states and to report on it today.
It feels like a nonstop hose of the worst things imaginable. There are dozens of stories I still haven’t gotten to.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional.
This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on!
Huge win for trans people in MT!

This is the second federal judge in a row to conclude that the President's EO is likely unconstitutional.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.
She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.
RIP Elisa.
