So trans people just have to use the proverbial back door to get care and keep out of sight. Where I have heard that before...🙄🤔

6. While Whitman-Walker may believe that scrubbing its website protects its broader services—such as HIV/AIDS care, reproductive health, dental care, and even its continued provision of transgender healthcare—their compliance with erasure inflicts real harm.

7. It blocks new patients from discovering and accessing critical resources, but worse, it legitimizes the White House’s pressure campaign against LGBTQ+ institutions. By yielding to these demands, the clinic sends a chilling message: that transgender people and our healthcare must be hidden.

8. Timmothy Snyder’s On Tyranny, a book which has been often quoted in recent times as a guidebook for how to deal with the kind of tyrannical government we are seeing under Trump’s second term, has a lesson for Whitman-Walker, other organizations, and all of us.

9. Whitman-Walker is teaching a tyrannical Trump government exactly what it can do. If the administration were to issue an executive order barring federally funded clinics from providing gender-affirming care, it’s easy to imagine Whitman-Walker making the same argument.

Here's the thing. Not a single individual, entity, organization, or group should ever be complying with this tyrant. Not a single one should bend the knee to this fuck. But everyone is just rolling over and playing dead for the would be king

I wish I could afford to support you financially. But please know, as the father of a transgender man, how much your journalism has meant to me. Thank you.

Also, this action will not protect them when it's their turn to be erased.
