Yes. It's just made the party look both weak and unpleasant. It's incredibly jarring - if they try to take the moral high ground, they look like hypocrites. If they try to act tough it's pathetic and insincere. And both sides hate them for it.

it's called DIY in the wider community! 🥰

Just cruel. It is beyond disheartening, keep trying to hope there is more good in the world than evil but these assholes seem hell bent to prove that theory wrong.

Another inhumane and ugly move

Completely illegal and not their decision to make. Next they’ll require LGBTQ+ to carry identifiers on their sleeves…

I have to wonder how many children have to die before these scum will stop.

let's just imagine what things could be like if they tried this hard to actually help people.

that Stephen Miller sure does hate a bunch of people.

You do understand that trans people as a demographic live in extreme poverty, right? Either that or you don't know what "entrepreneurial" means.

You may have misunderstood my comment. It happens.

not true. There are many who are suing and WINNING today

Dr. Oz. Fucking Dr. Oz...

I don't believe that's correct. I 'think' it means Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement for GAC for folks under 18.

This report did not cite our best evidence, and no one is even brave enough to put their name on it. In short, it is primarily bunk, and no basis for policy affecting children's safety and mental health! That should be part of NPR's reporting.

How do they expect to define gender affirming care? If a patient who is under 18 comes into a hospital with injury or sickness and needs to keep on their hormone regiment during a hospital stay.. is that considered gender affirming care? Surgery for gynomastia ? Is that gender affirming care too?

There is no evil that can be done to these bastards.

Trump is evil

terrified. the real ones to fear are the old fat white 'straight' rich politicians

I bet a queen or mtf laughed at him when he went weird & gross, and then he couldn't get it up. Total insecurity. That mother fucker has a Ed Gene-iness about him.

Small Big Brother government

This is flat out inhuman evil.

Why?

There was a little lapse in trans bashing, and it was very enjoyable. Back to reality.

These people are pure evil

This is the threat they’ve been holding over hospitals since January. So many have already complied in advance. Including in states like Washington where gender affirming care is mandated for coverage. It doesn’t help if the providers quit providing.

They should just claim it’s their religion, then maybe this government of assholes would leave them alone.

That's just more cruelty for the sake of cruelty and is what Trump and MAGA are all about. They have no problem harming children.

He couldn't care less but it's what his evangelist extremist support demands.

I would say that usually stuff like this requires laws but they stopped doing that a while ago.

100% agree. They don’t like that they can’t “tell” (prey vs rival.) And for toxic men who already hate women, a trans woman is just too much. My magat bro can’t stop saying dumb, horrible things about trans women. It reeks of he met a trans woman, liked her, and hates her (all women) for it.

Monsters

Fucking gross

These people are monsters. Obsessed with destroying a micro-minority of Americans just because they can. And this just the starting point for this kind of targeting.

He keep using this very, very small segment of society to take us all HATE so he can manipulate us. WE MUST STOP HIM by not paying attention to his BS

Why?! Just let people live their lives ffs.

Long past time for the medical professionals to drop the Hippocratic Oath and refuse to provide treatment for any administration officials or legislators who push this crap. Treat them as the social pariahs they are.

This makes me cry for all the people it negatively affects. ALL medical decisions should be left up to patients with guidance from appropriately trained health care professionals. The government has no right to touch us, decide for us, force us. #FuckTrump #FuckMaga

Anyone who continues to support the GOP after this can no longer claim to be pro-life. This policy will kill trans kids (no matter who insures them) AND cis people on medicare and medicaid (whether they support trans rights or not). The GOP is very much the anti-life party.

Unadulterated bigotry

bsky.app/profile/dyad...

This would also mean it would be incredibly easy for Hospitals to deny medicare coverage for kids so long as there is a way to ‘prove’ the kid is trans.

P.S. I do know the difference between transexuals and transgendered, but I doubt they do, so let's not be pedantic.

The cruelty is the point. I judge the world by how you treat people who are different from yourself. No group fails more catastrophically than Republicans, especially with Trump at the helm.

Did they say why, or do they even bother with anything besides “because we said so” anymore?

Just what Hitler’s regime did to stop services to gays, Jews and other people it called a threat to the pure White Christian culture of its dreams.

No, it is not true

I got beaten up quite often by Christian kids (and in more than one case CSAed) because I was a queer Jewish kid, and I didn’t even understand what being queer or trans was then. They saw it as getting revenge for Jesus.

Some atheists hate trans people as well. Well, not hate, they just don't believe that trans people exist any more than a god.

They'd rather mourn a dead child that they can imagine their idealized potential future of (no matter if it goes against their child's actual wishes), than have their child be alive and not following the teachings of their cult as fervently as they do. Pure fucking murderous death-cult delusion.

Nazis

The hospital at which I work, Children’s National Medical Center in Washington DC capitulate to this monstrous demand. I have been looking for a new job as they ignored all my correspondence asking for clarity from the Board as to why they have abandoned evidenced based care.

This is why Trump and his bigots can eat shit in hell forever

Real Nazi shit. Better keep sucking up to the Nazis so they won't hate you so much!

Why do we let this abusive spouse beat us?

welcomepac for one. they're too chickenshit to come out and say it so they package it as "identity politics" which throws people of color under the same bus. the whole blue dog caucus fucking sucks

Democrats have put forward bills that would make conversion therapy illegal, make it illegal for doctors to refuse gender transition or surgery to remove reproductive organs, and provide kids with private showers/changing rooms so they don’t need to be naked in front of peers or teachers all blocked

Some State Democrats but Federal Democrats have completely folded

Trump is like our country stepped in something vile and can’t scrape it off our shoe.

Cruelty is the point

Gynomastia (excessive breast tissue in men) can be removed and chest reconstructed. This could easily be considered gender affirming care. This could impact cis gendered men also. Or breast reduction in women.

But that transgender kid maybe taking daily hormones and those may be with held with consequences for a patient. Or may be roomed with someone who doesn't match their gender. 18 year olds are not on a Peds unit. Violation of their rights as a patient

Of course that's already a thing that can happen, along with all kinds other medical discrimination against trans people of all ages. But this would make those problems worse and more prevalent And they definitely won't stop with kids

In many urgent care intakes, remotely presenting as female earns you a hard to refuse pregnancy test, regardless of reason for visit. A lot of doctors will argue that patients lie, ignorant to their health, and/or symptoms+treatment may be affected. Why improve protocol, they're just incubators.

Considering that they're apparently cutting funds for male veterans with breast cancer because somehow that's dei or something (????), I wouldn't trust them on anything.

I think it’s pretty clear that they are talking about barring any hospital that provides gender affirming care from receiving Medicaid or Medicare which is bad enough and also going to affect cis kids if they don’t make exceptions. It’s ridiculously cruel.

That's the whole point. The ambiguity means there will be cases where kids will die but the administration will have plausible deniability. Just like with abortion care.

It’s the uncertainty that’s the point, there are no soft margins in this system

damn, that's absurd. 🤬 I'm so sorry, that sucks. I was thinking as I was reading along that it reminded me a bit of the way fat people often go to the dr & no matter what their complaint is it gets associated with their weight. Sure enough, at the end of the article they mention that too. IDIOCY.

As trans person: Doctors dont believe this. Any problem can and will be blamed on being trans and taking HRT. Trans broken arm syndrome is a thing and has been for decades.

The diagnosis codes used follow the person.

This hopefully will be the argument. A trans kid taking HRT or blockers gets sick or is injured needing hospitalization - would the hospital be able to continue providing medication while hospitalized? My 16 yr old takes daily medication - what would that look like?

Dataport Doll has it right, I think, here is the proposed rule: www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eo...

Vought. Project 2025. He needs to go.

Seems likely. The goal is not merely to prevent new transitions, but to disappear those who have transitioned already. They must de-transition, or be closeted entirely, or die. So says Jesus, apparently?

We kept saying that they are going to do this and all we got were deaf ears. This will cause a lot of pain and deaths

Wonder when we start rounding them up? What a monster...these are the evangelical christians behind this. Vought.

Again, I think the only course of action at this point is for blue states to stop sending our tax $$$ to the federal govt. Just quiet quit the Union.

Btw, the rules can be commented on now, before they're released, via a seemingly-little-reported-on process our coverage discusses. It's called an EO 12866 meeting and any member of the US public can request one. See our coverage for more- theneedlenews.com/trump-admini...

And Establishments Democrats are also onboard with this FYI. They’re already making moves to abandon all Minorities, not just Trans people. Listen to their their rhetoric from their hero Newsom. It’s pure evil.

Evil fucks

Will the Dem AGs fight for kids?

I'm sure that's what they want. They want no GAC until 18, then talk about brain development at 25, then say there's not enough research and that we need like another 50 years of research, then when the person is 75 they're like "You might as well stay what you were assigned"

Do they believe transgender persons are not human? This is so vile, so disgusting.

Republicans believe that talking about transgender issues gets them elected. We believe in science-based health care. We believe that all people have a right to science-based health care. We believe in treating people kindly and respectfully.

Ten years ago the was (more-or-less) absolutely no such thing as the 'trans child'. What's up? Is it social media? Something in the water? Mass delusion?

Every day. Every day some cruelty. No respite. 🤮

Fuck everyone who voted for this guy because you thought he'd improve the economy. Fuck every dem/leftist who continues to coddle fascists running or in office.

Fuck him.

And they will get sued. And they will lose. And innocent people will still suffer in the meantime. Lather, rinse, repeat.. ☹️

Ah. So if a transgender youth has appendicitis, we should let them die in sepsis?

The states run the Medicaid programs and determine their eligibility rules. Even as shitty as the court system is, I can't imagine they'd allow that kind of exclusion.

This is it y’all. The genocide against the transgender population in this country is now in full legal force. If you have transgender children, get out of the country as soon as you can.

😡😡😡

I think the administration wakes up every morning and asks ”who can we hurt today?”

My God. How much more horror can this administration roll out? Kids and adults and their families! I’m appalled and hope that some organization can take them to court and stop this.

I do believe that the people who support this policy should also refrain from using Andy gender affirming medical procedure. So if you are a man and you believe in this policy, no gender affirming treatments or medication should be provided to you www.thehastingscenter.org/news/gender-...

So the White House is anxious to see trans kids die. This is a deliberate decision. God have mercy on this man’s soul and everyone else who is part of this evil vile administration.

Why this is so petty and cruel. This Makes America Great How? As a Developed Nation we are not forward thinking.

Everytime you think there isn't a lower low, they prove us wrong. Pure freaking evil is ruining this country, I have no clue how we save it but I know we have to try.

The US Nazi regime targets trans people for violence. The US is committing genocide. All methods of self or community defense against genocide are justified. All action against the people committing genocide are in self defense.

The party that says it strongly supports a parent's right to make decisions for their child once again proves that right applies only to parents who agree with them.
