On the final day in which such legislation could pass, Kentucky passed a gender affirming care ban for trans youth. They used dirty tactics to pass HB150, a bill which detransitions transgender teens.
Something I’ve learned is that if you have to hide what you’re doing, it’s clear you know it’s wrong. If it was the “right” thing to do there would be Zero reason to hide it. So the KY folks… that is what you did, over a lunch break, mics off, and no time for opponents… shame on you
Erin, thanks for reporting on this horrendous behavior of the GOP. It must be hard to witness and write about. One would like to think laws wouldn't be able to be passed without following the process and requiring full disclosure and debate. I just can't fathom how all of these people can be so cruel and hateful. Can it all be for political points and funding from extremist groups with deep pockets? Clearly no one is listening to experts, they are willfully ignorant and don't care about these kids and families within their own communities. I'm so sorry for the parents and kids that are stuck in this state without a viable way to leave their homes. Politicians and states should never be telling health care experts how to practicing medicine.
They’re pursuing a particular authoritarian ideology. It really matters little to them who is hurt. They certainly have no illusions about what they’re doing in pursuit of their goal.
They can’t override until the governor vetos the bill and he can take some time that gives Dems and supporters time to organize first and foremost the sneaky way they pushed this bill through must get national media attention next go after the campaign of sponsor sen wise with digital ads make sure they are very visible to u of Kentucky which he is associated with , I would start with TikTok , really the DOJ should start looking at these coordinated campaigns
I find it so interesting that the White House continuously says: “We are standing behind this community” but yet: here we are. This should be front & center in the news on a daily basis. Every medical association supporting transgender kids should sue.
The problem sue the orgs like ADF know that if they slap the word religious across their brand the Dems won’t touch them from fear of republicans claiming they are attacking religion but we have to make it clear to Dem candidates including the president that if they want our votes and that include pro-choice supporters they have to do more then claim they have our backs
Does it do any good I don’t know but it can’t hurt to try
Thank you for contacting the Biden-Harris Administration.
President Biden and Vice President Harris value every opportunity to engage with the American people, and the Administration is grateful for your outreach. Our country faces many challenges, and messages like yours help us better understand how the Biden-Harris Administration can serve American families.
We take careful note of the suggestions, thoughts, questions, and stories we receive, and we’re working hard to ensure you receive an appropriate response.
If Dems in Kentucky are going to retaliate with focused ad campaigns now is the time before the governor vetos it most of Kentucky voters are not even aware of this bill the window to stop an override closes rapidly after that
Feeling a little writers cramp I asked GPT4 chatbot to help me come up with the start of a petition, I plan to add some of my own research and send this out vis moveon org in a few days , anyone have any suggestions can contact me

Exactly. They knew they were doing wrong.
I speak for myself when I say I hope they all die a horribly painful and gruesome death. May they rot in hell for eternity.

But they care about their re-elections
Sneaky, underhanded, backdoor alleyway tactics. Cowardly hypocrites.
Parents know best, until they DON'T.
Doctors know best, until they DON'T.
The makers of this bill have rotten hearts.

Seems to me they’d be perfectly happy living in Russia under Putin . . . or perhaps in the old USSR under Stalin
They're modeling legislation around similar forces.
A very sad night for my friends and their families across the river.

Devastating. Disgusting. 😞😠
