this is completely bonkers and useless for PP because the feds hate PP as, like, a ~concept~. for years they've been trying to ban PP from getting federal money as standalone policy. ditching trans people won't save anyone, but it especially won't save PP.

t0tallykyle.bsky.social•12 hours ago

FWIW, AZ PP and many of their patients would *100%* get screwed if they lost coverage from AZ state mcaid, so I get it. What I really DON’T get is why PP AZ feels the need to pause *all* trans care when most other PP already only offer HRT to 18+ patients to get around this very thing!!!

jmarshallfreeman.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Wow, so they’re forcing PP to go against its principles to keep the doors open. That is diabolical shit.

wordlight.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Except they're less forcing them, and more just telling them. Rather than saying "Make me," PP is complying

jmarshallfreeman.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Yeah, I see that. I mean they’re putting PP into a position of “utterly betray one part of your client population or we’ll shut you right down.” That’s the diabolical part. I have no idea what avenues they have to resist.

franfine1917.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Also this letter is saying that Medicaid funds can't be used for GAC for minors, not that they can't be used for other GAC or that Medicaid would not cover other procedures at clinics that provide GAC. IDK why AZ PP is interpreting it this way.

I honestly don’t think it’s even buying them that much time. If they pushed back, and made a huge deal with their supporters, I think the admin would back down or fake a win.

But that is taking a risk they don’t want to take, so they would rather throw trans people under the bus.

So infuriating

It just seems like Pap smears are gender affirming care. Breast exams. Birth control. Testosterone for men with low T. Mastectomies for boys who consider themselves boys but for whatever reason have breast tissue.

rivethead.bsky.social•13 hours ago

And medication to reverse hair loss, and puberty blockers for precocious puberty, and tons and tons and TONS of other care that many different people need.

It's a deeply stupid culture war and it's exhausting.

jodielister.bsky.social•13 hours ago

I’m starting to think that healthcare is complicated and any decisions should be left up to the patient and their doctor. It’s possible Congress isn’t the best at triaging health.

brees-knees.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Fine. Whatever. This times it's trans-specific gender affirming care, next is abortions, contraceptives, or anything else they disagree with. Time to stop all circumcisions, trt, hrt for menopause, breast augmentations, viagra, and the list goes on and on. It's ALL gender-affirming care.

righteoushazard.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Yeah, the shitheads are starting with trans healthcare, because they are betting that people and institutions will sacrifice trans folks.

It is fkn stupid and demoralizing that orgs sacrifice marginalized groups instead of organizing and reaching out, to fight for everyone.

righteoushazard.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Even though I understand PP's decision, it was still wrong. The weaponization of CMS is VERY GRAVE threat to EVERY CLINIC AND HOSPITAL, and PP could have used this to organize resistance.

Instead, they cave, trans folks pay the price, and no organizating or solidarity gets off the ground.

So it would be better if they were shut down entirely and then they help nobody? Exercising caution is prudent. Ideally they can do it quickly and responsibly, and resume services as soon as possible. But thanks for making assumptions about me. 👍🏻

lisacee.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Having not seen whatever communication they received, my assumption would be that yes, all services would be threatened. Now, what they do next could certainly indicate if the vitriol is warranted. Ideally they assess this as an actual non-threat and resume any paused services.
