A script you can use if you’re not good at speaking on the spot.

I'm calling to demand that Senator Schumer not allow Donald Trump to take away access to transgender health care for anyone, let alone people with federal or state health insurance.
Trans healthcare is lifesaving medicine. It is not cosmetic or frivolous; it is miraculous and it is vital.
It is not something trans people can just go without.
[You can add a personal anecdote here-how it has helped you or someone you love, how long you've been receiving trans healthcare, etc.J Trans people are also over twice as likely to live in poverty, which means they are often receiving this care through government-funded programs. They simply cannot afford it otherwise. If this care is lost, trans American lives will be lost too. This is the truth.
If none of this stirs the Senator's compassion, please understand that trans people are, as a group, politically active, and they are rarely Republicans. The Senator should understand that if he caves and allows Trump to do this to us, it would be a betrayal of his constituents at an unforgivable level. If he caves, I will never vote for a Democrat again. I will not vote for a Democrat for president, for senator, for dogcatcher. This is a promise.

it took me less than 5 minutes to do my 3 calls.

"i saw on the news trump is threatening to shut down the government if democrats don't bend the knee over trans healthcare. i will never vote for [rep] again if they give up trans healthcare. i would rather the government shut down."

that's it.

Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned

The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

I really tried to avoid this, but I'm in need of help. I'm a year and a half out of full time work, and my retail gig alone can't keep me afloat. My October expenses are going to be much higher than normal.

I'm offering sketch comms over on my ko-fi for donations. thank you

"what is their obsession with trans people even about" cuz trans people are the free-est motherfuckers on earth! they don't want the rest of y'all getting any ideas about having control over your own fucking destiny!!

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 18d

This is entirely true on so many levels I don't think I could possibly detail it exhaustively, but you really can't oppose trans people's human rights and still have freedom of expression and bodily autonomy, the idea that people are entitled to self determination goes right out the window....
