Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

"Beyond the incorrect claim that science backs up a simple binary definition of sex, the lived experience of people clearly demonstrates that the genetic composition at conception does not define one's identity. Rather, sex and gender result from the interplay of genetics and environment."

If youβre a blue state legislator wondering how you can protect trans people right now, allowing birth certificates to be changed without listing them as βamendedβ so that we can still get passports is high on the list.

On top of shutting down the govt, an executive order was signed yesterday for a national under-19 trans care ban - no blockers, cross hormones, etc. NINETEEN!! It names gender-affirming care "chemical and surgical mutilation." This is a misinformed and hateful attack on already marginalized people.
