This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC.
You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself.
It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research.
Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services.
This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

I am devastated. You were supposed to be out ally, oir safe space. I am shook to my core that you would closet trans people like this, and make no mistake that is exactly what this is.
Shame on you. Shame.
I am out. I am trans, I will not hide, this is my country and they will have to drag my dead body away before I go back into the closet.
Spreadsheet forthcoming.

The bill didn’t pass, of course, but the betrayal remained.
And so does the memory of it .
Just like hospital protests.

We do not gain strength by breaking solidarity. We unite or we die.
They're next in line behind us, pushing us in faster won't slow down the queue
death to the united states and FUCK whitman walker
Maybe they canceled the Gay Men’s Chorus to make room on the schedule for the J6 CHOIR?!?! (not a joke— they *are* going to sing at the Kennedy Center)

Fight. You’re literally an LGBTQ org.
The erasure itself is a harm I will not stand for. Not from our trusted providers. Not from our lgbt orgs. Not from our homeless shelters.
I will never, ever compromise on this.
No amount of capitulation will spare you.
I wonder what it will do for the opinions of people who think oppose gender affirming care if doctors start acting like they also think they're doing something wrong...
Their "together" and "our" rather sticks in the throat now.
even the fascists have a quotable quote from time to time.

Ailing with your sex at conception. Female
I’d like to see our new DNC leader, @kenmartin.bsky.social acknowledge the threat and affirm his commitment to the transgender community.
Second request.
History has always shown that never to be the case.

No one made sure we were included fully in society before, not surprised we're erased again 20 years later now
But we've NEVER had the same level of support as gay and lesbian folks, not even close. Anyone who thinks the 'T' mattered as much even recently is in for a rude awakening.
And when fascist governments start dehumanizing groups, they usually stop there, so as long as you aren't in the first group, you are fine and you should go along to get along.
Is that what Niemoller said? Something like that, I think.
They're getting a bollocking from me at my next appointment.
These folks are throwing us under the bus so fast, they're gonna throw out their backs doing it.

I would love to read this, but not enough to go to the Nazi bar.

Whatever for?
SHAME ON YOU!
Do NOT bow to the rapist in the WH. Fight back dammit-for you-for us
Getting the data back online is easy, it's the prominence in search engine hits, broken links/citations, and accessibility that cannot be repaired.
I've also been working with other researchers, prior to the deletion, to expand the work so that it's a more robust resource. Hopefully that can continue.
Does this help any?
the capitulation of all of these cowards will never be forgotten
The gender affirming care. Someone is trolling. I’m not taking the bait.
They’re fucking cowards for this move.
Some of these decisions are being made with the hope that long-term, vulnerable people will be protected (1/x)
"You're next."
All you achieve in selling people out is prove that your positions are performative. What you have instead is a price where your integrity should be.
You have put values on the heads of your own community and will sell them out at the right price.
Thank you for the correction
@endtimesenjoyer.bsky.social
Organizations need to stop sacrificing us, because it won't stop with trans people. The administration will take more and more, regardless of who they hurt.
I'm getting so tired of people disregarding my existence 🤬
Fuck them, Fuck Trump, Fuck the USA
This is a stunning turn of events. I thought they'd be the last to fold (yes they are still offering care), 😫
Sadly this won't stop the legal fight from that's coming their way regardless of removing website text.
I don't understand why they think changing a few words on their website will protect them. It's wrong, and it won't make a wit of difference on whether they manage to maintain their FQHC designation.
American institutions already did this once, and most people ignored it
Now we're at the "then they came for us" phase
Fight with us or burn later. They chose later!
