I am getting spotty reports of hospital systems in blue states cancelling gender affirming care appointments for those under 19 years of age.
If true, this would be a major problem, as systems comply with illegal EOs in advance out of fear of DOJ weaponization.
Please let me know if yours has.

P.S. Today is the 95th anniversary of Hitler’s takeover of Germany. Who says history doesn’t repeat.
A group of grateful parents is coordinating an email writing campaign to the President of the hospital. He's a strong ally and having a lot of emails in support will help him bolster his stance.

Community building is for survival. Realistically, once gays feel attacked & organize we can join their efforts, that will get us up to maybe 7% willing to ActUP! again.

Whether or not they're legal is irrelevant. They are only there to either sow doubt, confusion and fear among his opponents, or to empower his cronies to illegally deny care and services while citing these EOs.

I am so mad. I feel like an atom bomb. I'm the fucking guns of the navarrone.
As to why *that* is 19, I've not a clue.

My son is 14 and about to start his puberty blockers. It has taken 2 years to get to this point, so if it gets cancelled now, I have no idea what to do.
They aren't going to come after you.
And if they do, SHOOT THEM!
We were given the 2nd Amendment for a reason, and if things have devolved that far, we're all in the shit and need to be shooting them anyway.
So SPEAK UP!!
Although your concerns of Dems not doing anything about it is valid, it is not the Dems responsible for the bans. It's the suits that run the hospitals.
Erin please start including alt text
-MBA, here.
TL;DR: fuck these demons, we always been here.
Not using puberty blockers is beyond cruel, making everything so much more medically complicated later.

How in the fuck was I born in the correct body?!?
Honestly dangerous to both trans and cis youth.
I heard NYU Langone let down their patients. If it was them, could you ask your surgeon if they have privileges in another facility?
I wonder if Callen Lorde has more resources, bc this affects so many of their patients.

I'm so used to shielding myself and my daughter on Twitter to keep us both safer, that seeing open support and kind words here is like breathing again after holding my breath for years.
Take lots of deep breaths, stay strong, and know that you're not alone. 💙✊💙

I just wanna also say, after surgery my mom took care of me for a week. It means a lot having supportive moms. 💜 🏳️⚧️
If you want prayer I will happily pray for yall. If not I get that too!
Anyway! Remember your rights and reach out to a lawyer if things get cancelled!
"If your child has been denied healthcare due to the executive order that came out this week, PFLAG National wants to know.
If you are comfortable doing so, send your written notices of cancellation to Brian Bond, CEO of PFLAG National, at [email protected]."
Some people didn't read the "do not comply in advance" memo it seems
Thanks for nothing you spineless assholes.
Running from people who need our help, in the face of needing them NOW, more than ever, is NOT what we need to collectively do as a society.
You don't defeat fascists by praying they don't hit you.
If that did happened, she'd know and sound an alarm
Also if your actual position is that No One should be allowed to transition, including a legal adult opens the door to ban all adults.
but yeah it's really about taking rights from adults too
i was just pointing out the hs excuse doesn't work and makes this even more ridiculous. i didn't turn 18 until college. i would've had to wait until my sophomore year of university to be considered not a child! just absurd
Not that they really need to follow a chain of precedent to do whatever the fuck they want
