I can't fully articulate how worried I am for trans people of all ages. It feels like the world doesn't care.

Politico is reporting Trump will name Dr. Ladapo of Florida to a senior spot, likely Surgeon General or Assistant HHS.

This would be a horrifying pick for trans people. He's responsible for Florida's adult trans ban, and works with SEGM/Anti-trans global movement.

He's also an ardent anti-vaxxer.

FWIW, I care deeply. I'm only one person, but will be an advocate if needed.

emilbriggs.bsky.social•105 days ago

I'm sorry. I don't know how to fix this but I do care.

tomquixote.bsky.social•105 days ago

This pick is a healthcare horror story waiting to unfold

strepsirrhini.bsky.social•105 days ago

I think you're feeling it correctly. It's awful and I'm scared for everyone. I don't think v many people care.

mgnblgr.bsky.social•105 days ago

There’s so much cruelty right now and it feels like trans people are the current target. There are a lot of people that DO care, I think we just don’t even know where / how to start fighting back.

scottletteau.bsky.social•105 days ago

The world cares. Factions with America however? There is a lot a hatred there. None of it is good. Just the usual barefaced evil, wearing a hat instead of an armband.

joeldav77.bsky.social•105 days ago

The world cares. People care. It just really sucks that we’re being asked to pretend they don’t. Your friends care and they’ll ignore being asked to pretend. Fuck everybody else.

jendragon1.bsky.social•105 days ago

I’m worried too. 🥹 many of us care and I hope by staying connected here we can support and organize.

j-mike.bsky.social•105 days ago

Yeah it's looking more and more every day like we're outta here. My middle son is 16, he's been on HRT nearly two years. I would stay if it were just me but I can't sacrifice him to this.

cdbam.bsky.social•105 days ago

It’s bad. But so many of us care. We need to get louder

ttownwa.bsky.social•105 days ago

Trump wants us all to die, except "certain" folks...

redback.bsky.social•105 days ago

I'm so sorry, this is so fucked up.

People have NOT learned from WW2, Lest We Forget

prince3eb.bsky.social•105 days ago

I do. It hurts my heart that I can't let all of them know that I see you. I'm glad that you're free & living your best life. That I'm a safe space. 🏳️‍⚧️

sunnyd6742.bsky.social•105 days ago

Many people care, but I fear we will all be so overwhelmed with the massive chaos, incompetence, cruelty, destruction, etc., that we won't know where to begin.

logicthinker.bsky.social•105 days ago

So sorry. It might not mean/feel much right now, but there’re people who care and will stand with you. 💙

deedaseed.bsky.social•105 days ago

It's heartbreaking and so unnecessarily cruel - all of it.

hudsonrivercroc.bsky.social•105 days ago

What Mace is doing, the administration will do too. They claim they have a mandate.

parkermolloy.com•105 days ago

With guys like him in government, I guarantee that they'll start using HHS and other health agencies to authoritatively state that trans healthcare is wrong/ineffective/etc. Anti-trans activists will cite these to push for bans on care for people of all ages.

cjlillis.bsky.social•105 days ago

People do care. We’re going to fight with and for trans people.

johnalcorn.bsky.social•105 days ago

💯

keasy-duz-it.bsky.social•105 days ago

We aren't powerless.

parkermolloy.com•105 days ago

It'll be similar to what they did in the U.K. with the sham "Cass Review," commissioned by conservatives/anti-trans activists in government, which is now being used to disrupt healthcare for trans people (including some adults).

parkermolloy.com•105 days ago

I'm just so depressed and feel so sad and so worried.

narcia.bsky.social•105 days ago

It is truly grim

worldofktebs.bsky.social•105 days ago

Many of us are allies and we’re ready to join you in the fight. Things look bad but always remember, you are not alone.

jackie-jackpot.bsky.social•105 days ago

Me too

kerabolonik.bsky.social•105 days ago

I’m so sorry, Parker. I am so outraged and devastated. Please know that I will always have your back, and that you are not alone. Xo

madhominem.bsky.social•105 days ago

I'm an internet nobody but I'm sorry that you are made to feel this way. I wish it were different.

ggold328.bsky.social•105 days ago

i am so sorry parker and i wish i knew what to say to help

dystopiabarbie.bsky.social•105 days ago

same.

proptermalone.bsky.social•105 days ago

The difference is that the Democratic Party has your back where Labour did not.

parkermolloy.com•105 days ago

Do they?! Do they, though?! Not sure if you've been paying attention, but there's a big push to throw trans people under the bus right now.

proftinkerbell.bsky.social•105 days ago

I've called him charlatan on the other place repeatedly. What happens in Florida doesn't stay here. 🤬

texasmouth.bsky.social•105 days ago

100% they will.

This administration is using the Natzi playbook. Step by step.

deborahyost.bsky.social•105 days ago

It sure looks like they are trying to "cull the plebes".
Really does.

lewru7.bsky.social•105 days ago

I am so worried. We definitely need funds/mechanisms to help move people. I know there are some, but we need more. Shit is gonna be dire.

phyrricvictory.bsky.social•105 days ago

I have just spoken to my (trans) son about moving overseas for a few years. We can afford it. I worry a great deal about his safety, even here in NY.

kevinlikesmaps.bsky.social•105 days ago

Definitely do your research because a lot of Euro countries are just as shitty about trans healthcare, especially for minors. (No idea about other regions.)

faineg.bsky.social•105 days ago

Spain is pretty good insofar as I’m aware

kevinlikesmaps.bsky.social•105 days ago

someone must have done some research on this. I don't have it in me, unfortunately. I just know the UK is shit (shocker) and I think it was Sweden that went off the rails with transphobia lately too.

kimleonard.bsky.social•105 days ago

I care. I am loud. I don’t know what else to do.

nancysan.bsky.social•105 days ago

I called this. We are so f*cked.

lisawedmann.bsky.social•105 days ago

I have some friends with trans kids & I terrified for them. This is horrifying.

mando317.bsky.social•105 days ago

I'm non-binary, and I know I'm relatively safe, but my heart BREAKS for the young people who thought they would be able to live the life they chose. And it does feel like war is being waged against us, and we are just trying to exist.

lisamw.bsky.social•105 days ago

Oh for gods sake. God no, no that fucking quack! He will do whomever’s bidding no matter what. Uvh
