This is one of three major Federal actions against healthcare for trans people this week. While the two bills passed by the House are not expected to pass the Senate, all three of these actions are heartbreaking to see. Both House bills would have failed if the Democratic caucus had held together.

6 years ago, a federal ban on gender-affirming care for young people was absent from the national Dem agenda, seemed unlikely to almost everyone who isnāt trans. 6 years ago, Marjorie Taylor Greene was a QAnon crank with a crossfit gym. Yesterday her ban passed out of the House with three Dem votes.
