On today’s HHS report: “This report was created solely to mislead the public, to justify discrimination, and to have a chilling effect on the provision of this medically necessary healthcare.” — Sinead Murano-Kinney, Health Policy Analyst transequality.org/news/a4te-hh...

19thNews [cont] -- A strong majority of 59% of those polled support trans adults right to gender-affirming care, but only 43% trans youth's rights to care.

BREAKING: A Montana court extended its pause on a new anti-trans bathroom ban through May 16th, allowing transgender and intersex people in the state to continue to use the bathroom that aligns with their gender identity.

Tomorrow is the deadline to submit comments to protect gender affirming care as an essential benefit in ACA (Obamacare) plans. These proposed rules will also push DACA folks off of plans, make it harder to get enrolled, and make it harder to keep your enrollment if you miss a payment.

1. Major victory in Montana. 17 Republicans crossed party lines after a strong speech from Representative Howell to defeat a bill that would have charged parents, even those passing through the state, with felony child endangerment for their trans youth. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Major alert: Montana may be about to pass a major anti-trans bill that charges parents with felony endangerment of a child if their child is on trans youth care. It would apply to parents just passing through the state, visiting. Would be the first law of its kind to pass anywhere. Vote is TODAY.

Called it.

Two rulings yesterday in support of gender affirming care for youth. WA/OR/MN: INJUNCTION! Judge Lauren King previously said the order “blatantly discriminated against trans youth” and would not likely “survive judicial scrutiny.” Judge King reaffirmed that ruling today.

BREAKING: Federal judge issues preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of parts of two of Trump’s anti-trans executive orders (orders defining “sex” and restricting gender-affirming medical care) in Washington, Colorado, Minnesota, and Oregon. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-tran...

And as mentioned in this thread, the precedent of treating putting down a gender marker different from sex assigned at birth as material fraud is extremely dangerous. It puts all trans people at risk of being criminalized simply for stating their gender. bsky.app/profile/esqu...

To answer some quick questions about my latest story: - It does not apply to the Visa Waiver Program as far as I can see - It does not impact American citizens - The ban exclusively impacts transgender foreigners seeking visas in the United States - It is far more extensive than reported elsewhere

History is repeating itself. There were more LGBTQ people removed from government during the lavender scare than were suspected communists during the red scare. They only really taught the latter in history classes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavende...
