Yeah, if the Dems go for this instead of shutdown, I'm never forgiving them, I will never trust the Dems to be trans allies because I can never trust them not to do it again when it's convenient. Trans people are not disposable.

Banning gender affirming care better include boner pills and hair loss treatments. Maybe all these old fucks would wither and screw off.

I hate it here. Life continues to get worse and worse for people I care about and those in my local communities. I am disgusted every single day.

And they can ban makeup too before they realize your analogy is retarded

[Propagandhim]

Though Trump frames the fight around “transgender surgeries” and sports, the provisions buried in the appropriations bills go far beyond that—and could devastate transgender people nationwide. In the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education bill, one rider would ban “any federal funds” from supporting gender-affirming care at any age, even extending to “behavioral” or “social” care. A strict reading would immediately strip Medicaid and Medicare coverage for transgender people. A broader interpretation could threaten any hospital providing such care with the loss of federal funds—a step Trump has already attempted without statutory authority in the context of youth care. The same bill also tucks in a nationwide sports ban, removes protections for LGBTQ+ foster children, and even prohibits Pride flags.

The Commerce, Justice, and Science bill carries its own slate of riders: a ban on funding transgender surgeries in any federally owned, leased, or used facility, and a prison placement ban that would force transgender women into men’s jails.

Nah, this sounds pretty good.  People really need to get a sense of just how many trans people are on Medicaid.  It's like 98.999%  And they want their surgeries paid in their entirety just like other medicaid-paid procedures?  I really don't think Americans are on board with that.   

Please call your reps.

Okay.  48...49...50...

yep. If democrats cave to this they should never be elected again and people really should start forming an actual party

do it bitch

form a party right now

it totally won't siphon off votes from dems and leave republicans as forever-winners of a 50-48-2 split

it's not as if the majority of americans already kind of support jettisoning the whole trans experiment

I don't want to get too specific for obvious reasons, but I've been working on a big event for my job in the media industry and through a series of miscommunications the marquee guest has pulled out. I think our partner is going to cancel the whole event, so a giant wash for us.

I had never done this kind of producing before. it's a contract job and it wasn't really my job brief (I was a researcher originally), but I was trying to take initiative because I do like the company and wanted to show my boss I could take on more. now it's all fucked. I'm an at will contractor and assume a fuckup this big is just going to lead to termination. I basically didn't communicate a really pivotal change in the event decided by the partner that was a complete nonstarter for the guest, and now it's too late to get an alternative guest.

I've been laid off before, but never fired due to a fuckup on this scale. I really needed this job. I know it's really stupid but I have just been having constant panic attacks since this all went down yesterday. I keep crying like a fucking idiot. (it's a remote job so not at the office thankfully) have spent today trying to savage it but I don't think it's gonna happen.

anyway, just needed to vent I guess, have you ever fucked up massively at work?

it's only "gender affirming care" as a euphemism and an umbrella they invented

literally all you have to do is say "we're banning non-medically necessary cock or boob chops (suicide risk does not create a medical emergency) and also banning puberty blockers and non-medically necessary hormone treatments"

done, no umbrella terminology invoked

Oh 100% it was to protect Israel. It's been said numerous times all over media Blinken and Romney discussed it. The cats out of the bag on that though. I feel like Reese in Terminator telling Sarah "Their defense grid was smashed. We'd won. Taking out Connor then would make no difference." Losing Tiktok now for the purpose of protecting Israel makes no difference anymore. They are cooked.

It's so funny how they spend all their time talking about how Trump and the GOP is going to genocide them then they turn around and demand the Democrats do things that will give more power to Trump and the GOP by degrading the opposition. 

They like to act like they're all independent thinkers but this is the single line of Erin Reed's entire being. That the Democratic Party (and Labour) need to become a single issue party on an issue that most nobody cares about and when it comes up the majority are against them on. They should hook it up with anti-Zionism and they can hit the 2% Uncle used in his hypothetical. Yeah, definitely go to the mat shutting down the government over this. The people are totally going to rise up and say "keep it shutdown until trans people are liberated!"

Not a single one of them even realizes why Trump keeps going back to wedge issues whenever he can. That's just what Nazis do they tell themselves, constant frothing to get to the camps. (Don't ask "when are we going to get to the fireworks factory camps?") The cruelty is the point.

There's always been this constant opinion with either conservatives or just plain dumbasses that Trump is hilarious. In his speeches or social media. And I cannot believe there's still these people walking around in 2025 STILL saying that shit.

Do you have the brain of a newborn child? Have you not heard jokes before? That's the only explanation that makes sense when this is brought up.

How? HOW? The dribble that comes out of his mouth doesn't even rise the level of toilet humor. Does your sense of humor equate to legal brain death?

I'm not even talking about him being evil and destroying America but this bullshit is one of the most bewildering aspects of some humans who talk about him.

Is it because he's racist/sexist so anything he says in that tone is automatically balls-out hilarious to racists and/or sexists? That has to be it right?
