They’re trying to forcibly detransition trans kids. They’re trying to erase the next generation of transgender Americans. This is why some genocide scholars have been calling it genocide.

Big update: The Trump admin just issued its final rule banning CHIP and Medicaid from paying for gender-affirming care for minors. The rule will take effect in 6 months, and from then allows a 6-month tapering period for patients already on hormone therapy. www.federalregister.gov/public-inspe...

1. This weekend, a federal judge permanently blocked funding threats to providers and hospitals that provide trans youth care. The judge also blocked "any similar policy." Hospitals have NO excuse and must return to providing care under many blue state laws. Subscribe to support our journalism.

1. Yesterday, a major case was heard in the Colorado Supreme Court: whether Colorado Children's hospital can discriminate against trans youth patients due to Trump threats. Colorado justices seemed skeptical, though divided. Their ruling could have a profound impact.

1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration: Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure. Its a horrifying escalation.

This is horrific. I have spent time with people who entered as refugees in the last admin and the fact that the state is pursuing them when they came here hoping to finally escape that is sickening.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.

Unbelievable that we still talk about withholding HIV funding as a form of political maneuvering rather than an act of social murder, as if the 80’s + 90’s never happened and we didn’t lose an entire generation to this already.

Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader? I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.
