I hope Lurie Children’s Hospital is sued, and they decide fighting the suits costs more than complying with the administration does. Mike Stuart is one of those who should face a thorough, forensic examination of what he knew and said when, in his pursuit of monstrously abusing transgender people and youth. The people engineering, funding, and carrying out the propaganda campaign and enacting the laws and policies against transgender people must face 42 U.S.C. § 1983, 18 U.S.C. § 241, & 18 U.S.C. § 242 prosecution.

Thank you, Baum.

Fuck Mike Stuart and the rest of the fascists.

UNC Health just did this as well for everyone under 19. We have a nascent trans community group in the area (Chapel Hill/Carrboro/Orange County, NC) and we are considering our response.

The problematic "health care" at Lurie is not gender-affirming care for trans patients but the non-consensual surgeries on intersex infants and children.

Absolute cowards.

"but the non-consensual surgeries on intersex infants and children."

Wow! Hellsyeah! They need to get sued. Into the ground!

If they can pee, let them be!

This is utterly confusing to me after reading yesterday's email address the removal of all the anti trans riders were removed from the appropriation bill? Please explain this to me.

There has been a disconnect between what the Executive does (generally by Executive Order) and what the Legislative has passed, which since Jan 20th, 2025 has been quite distinctive.

Thank you for the reporting! The links in the story are great -- I've learned a lot at the Campaign for Southern Equality site.

Mike Stuart is deep down the rabbit hole of hateful ignorance -- for example, he helped to remove exceptions for rape and incest from West Virginia's total abortion ban. His religiosity -- "we must value children" etc -- is pretty rich coming from the administration that is sitting on evidence of probably the biggest child sex trafficking operation in history.

Shut. It. Down.

They need to wake up. (They are Universities, elected officials, corporations,…).

Shut. It. Down.

I am so sick of hospitals trying to justify cutting health care to trans patients with statements like “we have to do this or lose the ability to offer care to all our patients”. This is just them saying other patients are more important than trans patients. Fuck them. Protect ALL your patients as required by the oath you forget as soon as money is at risk. Fuck them all. I hope the theocracy bans cancer treatments and cardiovascular care soon. Then we’ll see how ready cis people are to just look the other way while the trans community is fucked by this regime. BTW - in other news, Denmark plans to ban supply of Ozempic to the USA due to Trump’s continuing stupidity over Greenland. Denmark currently supplies 100% of US Ozempic consumption. The obesity capital of the world is about to have a whole lot more fat people die.
