Disgraceful.
Chicago’s Lurie Children’s Hospital is pausing gender-affirming surgeries for patients under 19, complying in advance with Trump’s executive order. 💔

Lurie Children’s Hospital pauses gender care surgeries for those younger than 19
The move comes after President Donald Trump’s executive order that said the federal government would not support these procedures.

I almost argued with someone on here about their blame-dealing election takes. Almost. I have opinions about the election too. Strong ones. And you know what? It doesn’t fucking matter. Look around. Pointless division is a death trap. *That discourse* is a death trap. It’s collective survival time.
