The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.
Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)

I too think we ought to be able to rely on people with wealth and power to do the right things without more vulnerable people having to risk everything to apply pressure on them, but I am not willing to give up and die if the bastards choose not to live up to those very reasonable expectations.

Absolutely not.
I will not allow my community to be jettisoned to save yourself. Yes, if you don't, other groups may suffer, and you might too.

incredible to have a president who appears to be speed-running getting impeached, and even more incredible to to have two other branches of government who are just sitting there watching it as if it is actually a livestream which they are unable to impact in any way

Even if you don't care about trans people, the president issuing an illegal executive order and hospitals in states with shield laws obeying in advance to suddenly cut off care to vulnerable youth is a chilling action. What do you think will happen to abortion when he invokes Comstock in an EO?

RawStory [Jan 21] Trump struggling to define Sex One EO defines as sex at conception producing large or small gametes. 2nd as sex born with eggs or sperm.
But fetuses are single cells at conception (we don't produce gametes until puberty)--and no fetus is born with _either_ eggs or sperm.

The US government is a Jenga tower and right now the Trump admin is pulling out every piece and one will cause a complex system collapse. We won't know what precisely will do it but something will and it'll cause a collapse. I think a lot of things we think matter won't by the end of the year.

TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.

this is not the government of "we just think trans rights went a little too far". On day 1, this administration has indicated that their priority is to stamp us out of existence. This will be hard for some third parties to accept as truth but they've been plainly and openly saying it for years.

The most powerful words you can say right now to these fascist bastards is:
"No, make me."
They cannot actually be everywhere and enforce their fascist policies. They rely on fear to do the job of governing for them. By refusing to comply, you make their means of compliance ineffective.

I know I keep screaming this into the void but just because climate change isn’t the *only* factor contributing to an extreme event doesn’t mean it’s not *a* factor. Literally nothing on Earth is unaffected by the changing climate.
