Let me be clear: I do not care if they are erasing us just to secretly and privately offer care.
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.
Help, or shut the fuck up and get out of the way
Bitch I come from Texas, get out of here with your "first" and recognize that solidarity means "everyone together", not "fascists can have little a denial of trans care as long as it's not me"
For purely self preservation reasons, I can see the motivation, a little more time is better than none at all. But-
They wouldn’t spend so much time on trying to erase people from talking about this stuff unless access to information was a direct threat.
We’ve seen this play out in history before. It doesn’t work. Even slightly.
Everyone suffers under fascism, but you can’t prioritize keeping the status quo to keep yourself safe, while that status quo is actively killing others.
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.
If you don't have the courage to stand up against the small offensive, how do you expect to stop the big ones?
How is that not putting lives at risk?
