Can’t believe we had to put up with people telling us it’s only ever been about the kids 🙄

I can't believe the people who said that were 𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘺 with it "only" being about kids. Imagine breathing a sigh of relief that 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 children would suffer because of something!

Reality threatens their understanding of everything. "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

They should read the Jewish Talmud, as it is posited by the Jewish elders in antiquity that the first human in Genesis was a non-binary androgynos with both male and female genitals, and then was split to make a male Adam and a female Eve.

It would blow the Christian Fascists’ mind that their holy book had a genderless God that they gender as male!

I don’t know about you, but I’m not going to let some assholes tell me who I can or can’t be. We have each other. Don’t give up 💜

I'm tired, too- desperately so- but I am also increasingly fueled by pure, distilled 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘦. These evil fucks are gonna have to kill me to get rid of me. I may not have the energy to make it out the front door some days; I don't have the verbal eloquence for public speaking, or the social acumen for building networks, but... I decided the moment the election began to go South on us that I wouldn't do these bastards' work 𝘧𝘰𝘳 them. I don't know what exactly that means, just yet, but I know I will 𝘯𝘰𝘵 "go gentle into that good night." If they come for me, they'd better know how to breathe buckshot.

Great, throw us under the bus because you can't even all agree on your own stupid plan. What an embarrassment to humanity.

Will Dems grow or discover a vestigial spine and STOP THIS?!?

It will pass the House on a party line vote plus Dem defectors but it could be filibustered in the Senate if Dems choose to fight it. It would require coordination and leadership, something I haven't witnessed from Democrats in some time.

It's a budget Bill. I am pretty sure that this is the one kind of bill that can't be fillibustered under the current rules.

It is shity, but I've kind of been expecting it for a while. They are almost definitely coming for the rest of gender affirming care in the near future.

If you can afford it, you might want to purchase some of your own supply so you can DIY your treatment:

If you can't afford it, start working with your local mutual aid groups. Somebody knows where to find what you need.

The bill has not been passed yet it's also has to go to the senate and be passed there before it can be signed in the law there is still time to fight it

Fellow MI resident here. EVERYDAY I've been calling our reps, senators, Whitmer, and telling them we NEED a sanctuary law. However, it's seems it's falling on deaf ears. With Whitmer making a heel turn towards the right, I fear that things will eventually get worse in this state. Start preparing if you can and haven't already.

Seriously. Does anyone know an approximate timeline? Days? Weeks? My top surgery was supposed to be next week, if it gets canceled because of this…

I could be wrong.. but from what I’ve researched so far I think that if it does pass in the senate, and Trump signs it into law.. it may not go into effect until December 2026.

At least there’s some time to prepare.

This is no doubt part of an effort to eventually make GAC unobtainable for anyone of any age. As such, it’s horrible but we all knew it was coming, and so is no surprise whatsoever.

The sheer strength and resolve of the anti-trans hatred is the main factor here. Sort of like a tidal wave crashing at the beach. It’s partially why the efforts of Democrats and other allies to hold it back has been so ineffective. This hatred has no doubt been brewing for many years, it’s just massively emboldened now by the political climate.

Assuming this passes, it will set up a big test as to how, or if, blue states with protective GAC laws can deal with it.
