A whole lot of cis women are going to be denied medically necessary hysterectomies under this type of vague wording. Feminists better take notice. We're not the only ones harmed when the right attacks basic bodily autonomy.
Absolutely, I agree. And sometimes I feel we have to shout this from the rooftops!
These laws create a ready-made avenue from affecting a trans person’s body into also affecting a cis person’s body.
By the way, since you mentioned it… I am a feminist. I support everybody having the same right to be feminine and not be persecuted for it. Fair is fair. As my elders would say “ain’t nobody worth special attention except everybody”
Getting back to the point : Carrying it to its logical future steps, after they stop us from potentially life saving medical care, and stop us from wearing masculine or feminine clothing, next they’ll stop some of us from voting.
And we’ll be right back to a world my great grand parents were born into.
I ponder sometimes if those of us seen as “non white” will be allowed to continue to own real property.
This hatred against trans people, and people different has always been here.
This latest rise of hatred began in August 2017 after the first trans ban.
Prior to that things were looking up and positive for equality. And that’s what it’s really about equality of opportunity; regardless of sex, skin tones, or hormones 🏳️⚧️🫶🏽
Oh they'll carve out exceptions for cis people. They always do. Afterall, we need more children for the mines. Your worth to this government is how many offspring can you produce. If that answer is 0, you're better off dead to them. Dems, Repubs, doesn't really matter, one just hit the gas pedal is all.
Because their theology dictates what a valid human is; everything else is of the devil.must be killed ... its fundamentally ethnic cleansing but specist not just racist, google skywatch seed war...
Reminder: when government override years of medical progress, and says “trans gender care is not allowed by law”, some healthcare providers take it “as if” they mean “don’t even give an aspirin” to a person they even think might be trans. Making laws that only affect people according to their sex or their race are going to be inherently unethical, immoral, and unconstitutional.
Please - Speak out, call your elected representatives. Especially if you’re a Republican. Ask them to stop this.
The people behind this will never acknowledge that elective breast augmentation in CIS women (also a form of gender affirming care) would certainly qualify as mutilation under this broad definition. As would butt implants, pec implants, calf implants, hair transplants, penile implants, liposuction, and even tattoos.
Agree with you but even if presented with the science, they are militantly ignorant. They are in hot pursuit of votes so that they can get money and power. They have learned from the last election that cruelty toward and lies about us work especially with little challenge and silence from the Dems. It helps them just like the Adolph & his Na$is in 1930s Germany and their attempt to erase the Jews. In my opinion, as physicians we need be loud, active and continue to provide care and do it for free if the gov't and insurance refuses to pay.
Do these edicts apply to private medical care (e.g., plastic surgery) as well as federally funded care? I don't know if they can do this, although perhaps if the providers work in hospitals that are federally funded, that might be a consequence. It's important that trans folks get their legal pepers in order and stock up on hormones - we can all hope that this vile Administration is short-lived.
Certainly private medical care can still be done although if federal government or states pass laws banning gender affirming care than it would be illegal to provide the care. However, the federal government can defund anyplace that receives money and provides care without passing laws and simply the fear that institutions have has caused them to close their doors. Additionally, they have many means to create fear e.g. simply putting a healthcare practitioner under investigation for any number of issues.
Some countries have already said if a ban becomes federal they will allow asylum seekers. they say currently they dont because you can move to a different state for the states that ban it.
The time to end this war against the Trans communities is NOW! This Illiterate Buffoon will never be forgotten by historians as the most corrupt and incompetent leader ever in the history of American politics! He’s Nero watching the World Burn to the core while he Fiddles Around Cheating at Golf! Putin couldn’t have chosen a more perfect Dupe to destroy Democracy! DENY,DEFEND AND DEPOSE THE President and ALL OF His Minions EVERYWHERE! 🖕🏽🔥👿
A number of blue or purple states have laws specifically protecting GAC - some by executive order (NJ, AZ) and some have it written into their state constitutions (NY, MA). So these federal efforts will immediately run into conflicts with some states’ laws. What is going to happen then? Will the states assert their autonomy to protect the well-being of their citizens?
Can’t wait to read the April 28th “scientific report”, should be a good laugh same as the Cass review. These people couldn’t conduct or interpret a scientific study to save their life, if their continued use of Zucker, Blanchard, and Littman is any indication.
CECOT #2,#3,#4,& #5 are " on order". Lots of room for academics and dissidents of all stripes😳 I hate to be the pessimist...but " the law" is burning down. Something has to give, rule by executive order cannot stand or it's over with.
This is where we need to stand firm, transition anyway. They’re trying to make us go away or detransition. Don’t. It’s time to really make them uncomfortable. This may put us in danger but news flash danger has arrived. Let’s see how cruel they can be. In the words of my personal lord and savior Mel Gibson/William Wallace “Freedom”! Everyone needs to think “What would Mel Gibson do in this situation “? My guess is to get super belligerently drunk and smear it in their faces. A Cis appearing white male try’s to pick you up on a dating site? Respond “Leave me alone F@&&0t” We will not go quiet into the night
No we’re in a battle for the greater good and a lot of guys looking to hook up are into the fetish. It’s one thing if their intention is pure but it’s often not.
You’re missing the point, they are supposed to feel ashamed of themselves so it crushes. Calling them a name to protect your own insecurities is the least effective thing you could do
I am, to crush their will. We have to be prepared to do anything to fight back. It does require you to insult yourself a bit but it will crush them in the process
"This is where we need to stand firm, transition anyway. They’re trying to make us go away or detransition. Don’t. It’s time to really make them uncomfortable."
Yes! I have vaginoplasty surgery scheduled next week. To me this is the "all in" step and I'm fucking doing it. Fuck them.
The linked CMS letter concludes with: "For additional questions, please email us at Medicaid.gov@cms.hhs.gov." Has anyone written them yet? Drafting an email now, would love to know what others are doing.
The email to Medicaid bounces back. It seems better to email the state Medicaid director for your state directly. In New York the director is Amir Bassiri Amir.Bassiri@health.ny.gov.
They will ban all trans care by the end of the year. Its coming. Start to prepare now so it doesnt hit as hard when it comes. They are waiting on the study they are doing to make their next move. Start saving now to move out of country. Know where you will want to go and start reading the job opportunities so you are prepared. If in a blue state get your legal documents updated now that you still can.
Moving out of the country just isn't an option for at least 95% of trans people. Many are simply unable to get passports at this point, and the courts are dragging their feet. Other countries aren't going to issue blanket asylum for a population that is largely poor and viewed as "undesirable." They wouldn't help German Jews during the Holocaust nor Gazans now, so why would we expect them to help us?
my daughter can't move out of country -- no passport and no hope of getting one -- even if the courts rule that passports must be issued in people's correct (current) genders, I don't trust the regime or their border thugs to honor them 🙃

Already trying to restrict anyone that does not use the name that is on their birth certificate. There goes so many women votes.

why cant they leave us alone 😔
Because their theology dictates what a valid human is; everything else is of the devil.must be killed ... its fundamentally ethnic cleansing but specist not just racist, google skywatch seed war...
Because they’re fascist ghouls who take delight in our suffering.

The nazis tried to erase us too.
Yes! I just had to rant about this myself! These people have lost whatever mind they may have had. They clearly have no heart or soul!

…. Furthering their long game in imposing their 3rd grade knowledge of biology on all of us
*imposing their third Reich knowledge
FTFY
This is fucked up. There’s no reason for it other than cruelty to a marginalized minority community who harm no one.
I wonder if we would then meet the criteria for asylum in other countries?
Some countries have already said if a ban becomes federal they will allow asylum seekers. they say currently they dont because you can move to a different state for the states that ban it.

Trump isn't Nero; he's Caligula. The evidence is that all of his cabinet members are horses.

Why would I call a guy faggot for hitting on me? Isn't that the exact opposite of what the word means?
No we’re in a battle for the greater good and a lot of guys looking to hook up are into the fetish. It’s one thing if their intention is pure but it’s often not.
There are plenty of ways for me to insult someone without insinuating that I'm a guy. Jerk, asshole, nincompoop, dick, prick, fuckwad, dipshit...
You’re missing the point, they are supposed to feel ashamed of themselves so it crushes. Calling them a name to protect your own insecurities is the least effective thing you could do
Yes, I am. I thought you were the one arguing for calling them a faggot?
I am, to crush their will. We have to be prepared to do anything to fight back. It does require you to insult yourself a bit but it will crush them in the process

Republicans say they believe in freedom, taking choices from adults is not about freedom it's about control.
They meed Freedom in the literally Orwellian sense, that is, "Freedom is Slavery".
