Proposed legislation behind the impending US government shutdown contains provisions that would ban federal funding for transgender adults, as well as youngsters.
I hope he shuts down the government, honestly… It might limit how much damage he does.
Shut it down, pussy.
Why so fragile
How dreadful! For many trans people it’ll endanger their lives.
It all reminds me of what was happening in Russia over the decades, just smashed into an impossible timeline. Small steps lead to irrevocable disasters.
lets refuse to fund his magic bed
Cis people should be scared about this too. Things like supplementing estrogen (for woman after they have gone through menopause) or testosterone is a quite normal thing. Im betting my ass, that this regulations will affect these things too.
At this point, even the most die-hard republicans should be horribly ashamed by the fact this “man” is even allowed to participate in politics.
Eh, who am I kidding? Few bad apples spoil the bunch, and it‘s already happened worldwide. Trump has become only a symptom of the wretched corruption that is everywhere.
Trump will do a thousand crazy things to deflect from his children rapes. Look here! Look there! Look up! Look down! Look left! What a maroon. A dangerous maroon. (Not a misspelling but a Bugs Bunny reference).
Diabolical sabotage…
Still scrolling down looking for the basic Transgender Solidarity post but I guess allies are sleeping in…
Trans dance party starts here. I am starting the dance party.
Then we can take a break and write our reps and remind our friends and go back to our daily revolutionary work of staying alive and experiencing joy three steps ahead of the murderbigots.
Ally here, can confirm, was sleeping in. I’m up in Canada though, so trying to make positive change up here.
I feel like it’s a misdirection. Like, this isn’t what he really wants. This is a ploy to get/do something way, way worse. Or use this to cover up the Epstein files or something. He’ll use the shutdown and a hot button topic to get what he sees as a big fish…
Why couldn’t it also be what he really wants? What part of anything happening in the US and anything coming from the right could possibly signal that they don’t want this?
Conservatism is a cancer and fascism is perfectly happy to turn that knob up to 11.
All trans healthcare? Does that mean all transition-related care? Or all healthcare to trans people?
My moneys on both
It would bar federal funding from going to any hospital or medical facility that provides gender-affirming care, including HRT. Like a Hyde Amendment for trans healthcare. Basically, no medical facility that wants to take Medicaid or Medicare would be able to provide gender-affirming care. Oh, you’ve got an entire hospital? That’s nice, but you have a single endo who prescribes HRT, so no funding at all for you.
Also, dems should demand epstein files be released to prevent a shutdown.
Go for it, you first.
Fuck this ridiculous man and his supporters. We should offer asylum in Europe for the people he’s basically persecuting and denying basic rights to.
Great that we in Europe also like to piss on the rights of trans people. Just take a look at terf island or Hungary. If I remember right Poland also introduced some shit regulations on trans people, but dont count me on that.
And no I dont want to say, that the situation across Europe is the same as in the USA, but we better be careful, that the same shit doesn’t happen here too.
