You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

No one has ever gotten into transgender health care for money. Doctors go into gender-affirming care because every day they save lives with simple, safe care. Every rally I went to I heard from medical providers who said there was nowhere else in medicine they could transform lives in this way.

If this were true, they wouldn't be banning the medical care that does this.

While the media chums it up with Greene, reminder that she has a bill going before the House today to make it a *federal crime* to provide or advocate for healthcare for trans youth.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "What I'd like to see from the president is empathy for Americans. Donald Trump is a billionaire and he's the president. When he looks into a camera and says 'affordability is a hoax,' he's talking to Americans that are suffering and have been for many years now."

The day before they ruled that banning trans children's healthcare isn't discrimination
Wake up. They are trying to wipe trans people out. Stop calling people hyperbolic and fucking look at it

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

The House just passed a massive attack on trans people and literally NO MEDIA OUTLET is covering it
Transition care literally saves lives. This is an effective ban on transition care. It will literally kill people.

🚨 In addition to banning gender affirming medical treatment through Medicaid, Trump's reconciliation bill PROHIBITS health insurance purchased through Obamacare exchanges from offering transition care.
Detransition care, though, is specifically protected. CALL YOUR HOUSE REPS!

A hospital employee in MN complained to the NYPost that not being allowed to say the n-word at work was "causing harm" and (hospital) workplace policies against using racial slurs are “divisive” and “cause anxiety.”
We need to find these people & make them quit healthcare.

It really is enraging to see so many people with wealth, privilege, and power getting on their knees and capitulating to Trump. Trans people don't have any of that and we refuse to back down.
I never want to hear from any of these people about principles or values ever again.

Please understand something.
The Trump administration knows if courts enforce the law this anti-trans executive order is dead on arrival.
They want you to obey in advance, which will make courts less likely to enforce the law.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.
They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.
Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.
I think about it a lot in moments like this.
