Hey folks,

I have a huge request for Pride:

Trevor Project is recruiting for a landmark new study. If you are LGBTQ, in the United States, and between 13-24 or know someone who is, pass this along to them.

Trevor’s research has led to meaningful defenses of queer and trans lives.

I had a pretty severe asthma attack today. I haven't had one in years. My body is screaming at me that it's exhausted and I keep stupidly ignoring it

Today was bad. He's alive and home but nothing is good. Bad news. Bad next steps. Bad emotional regulation around it. This is a cry for help, Idk how i can do this. Everything needs to stop. Being. Bad.

On my way to the ER with my partner. He's in 10/10 pain, this is last resort. Send good vibes and love, we can't handle this rn, we are run ragged and exhausted.

WATCH THIS. SHARE THIS.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 13, 2025 CONTACT Gillian Branstetter, gbranstetter@aclu.org Tom Warnke, twarnke@lambdalegal.org BALTIMORE – In a victory for transgender youth, their families, and their medical providers, a federal district court today issued a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of a Trump administration executive order attempting to shut down access nationwide to gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under 19. The decision by Judge Brendan Hurson was issued from the bench with a written order to come soon. The nationwide restraining order prohibits federal agencies from conditioning or withholding federal funding based on the fact that a healthcare entity or health professional provides gender-affirming medical care to a patient under nineteen. “Good and decent parents of transgender kids should never be in the frightening position of having their child’s prescribed, medically necessary care canceled at the whim and threat of a politician. But that’s exactly what President Trump’s executive order did to PFLAG families with trans youth and young adults nationwide,” said Brian K. Bond (he/him), Chief Executive Officer of PFLAG National. “Today’s decision rights a grievous wrong to our nation's families and children, and PFLAG families will be vigilant to ensure our transgender loved ones receive the healthcare they need—as this legal ruling demands.” “Forcing providers to withhold medically-necessary, evidence-based care not only threatens patient health and well-being, but also undermines the integrity of our healthcare system in its entirety,” said Alex Sheldon (they/them), GLMA executive director. “Today's intervention by the court underscores the cruelty and recklessness that is embedded in this order and affirms our commitment to resist the administration’s extremist agenda that targets trans and non-binary young people and privileges political ideology over medical expertise. We are hopeful that…

In the first week after the order was signed, some hospitals across the country — in Massachusetts, Maryland, Washington, Colorado, and Virginia at least — abruptly halted medical care for transgender people under age 19, canceling appointments and turning away patients, including some who had been receiving this care for most of their life. This prompted protests of support for transgender youth and in opposition to the order nationwide. On Feb. 4, a lawsuit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, Lambda Legal, the ACLU of Maryland, and law firms Jenner & Block and Hogan Lovells on behalf of transgender young adults and adolescents and their families whose health care has been disrupted by President Trump’s order. Also joining the case as plaintiffs are PFLAG National, the nation’s largest organization supporting LGBTQ+ people and their families, with over 550,000 members and supporters and nearly 350 chapters across the country; and GLMA, the country’s largest organization of LGBTQ and allied health professionals. "Across the country, this unlawful order from the president has sown fear among transgender youth and confusion among their providers,” said Joshua Block, senior staff attorney for the ACLU’s LGBTQ & HIV Project. “But today’s decision should restore both their access to healthcare and protections under the Constitution. Providers who’ve suspended healthcare for their transgender patients should be left with no doubt that they can lift those suspensions and continue to provide healthcare and act in their best medical judgment without risking their funding or worse. “The president’s orders sought to take away from transgender young people the very care that they, their families, and their medical providers all agree is best for them – medical care that is evidence-based and well-established. But these decisions are for patients, their families, and their doctors to make, not for politicians or Washington bureaucrats,” said Omar Gonzale…

Incredible news!

The Trump administration's under 19 trans care ban has been BLOCKED in federal court via a bench temporary restraining order.

The administration CANNOT withhold funds from hospitals providing trans youth care.

Please for the love of god care about disabled people

The flu is everywhere right now! Protect yourself and others. Get vaccinated, cover coughs and sneezes, wash your hands often, and stay home if you're sick. Updates coming soon. doh.wa.gov/flu

As a disabled person, I am pretty sure the only things I’ve ever had “just handed to” me are inaccessibility, ableism, and more paperwork.

I am physically exhausted and in so much pain from crying everyday, multiple times a day right now.

Urgent trans and nonbinary update: I called a passport office and got a sympathetic rep who told me officially any information about gender markers is posted online. Unofficially, they *literally whispered,* they have heard the same rumors about passports being confiscated.

Something to really think about

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

7. Those who genuinely support the transgender community must resist, not capitulate, to Trump’s executive overreach. History will remember this moment, and those in positions of influence must decide whether they will stand in opposition to tyranny or enable it through silence and compliance.

I'm mortified. This is beyond stupid, beyond science, and so dangerous. This is just censorship and a step forward in genocide.

“They’ll never be able to overturn Roe!”
They did.

“They won’t try to overturn gay marriage!”
They are trying now.

“They’re not actually Nazis.”
They’re sieg heil-ing in public.

“They would NEVER put people in concentration camps!”
They’re being built right now.

We. Are. Not. Overreacting.

At Whitman Elementary School in Spokane, I announced my commitment to provide universal free school lunches to every Washington student.

Right now, a single parent working 40 hours a week at $19 per hour does not qualify for free lunch for their kid.

The only celebrity drama I follow is Elmo's beef with that rock

And still, the horrors persist evermore for me 🙃

Reminder that the best thing you can do to support open and free information is to USE YOUR LIBRARY #booksky #librarysky #diversebooksky #supportyourlocallibrary #diversebooks #libraries

Finding ways to be happy, having Joy, is also a way to revolt. To be happy is to protest. Don't feel guilty if you have good moments and times right now. (I'm telling myself this too. I've cried so much. I'm so scared.)

Fuck it. I’m ringing the alarm. I’d love to be wrong but I don’t think I will be. Thread of things to do THIS WEEK if you haven’t already:

i had to go to the store today. I went in my wheelchair and wore a mask. Saw two (2!!) other wheelchair users. It was exciting, i rarely ever see any others like me (younger than grandpa-age people, in a chair). They were dad aged but still. I wish so much i had a local wc-user meetup around me.
