Man…let’s remember when the studios were asking black creatives to be more involved and wanted to reach out back in 2020 after the Floyd case and had all the promises in the world of “we want more black voices” but to only ghost people from communications to ghosting on test opportunities.
No better day than today to discuss this, how our industry's treated black folks over the last decade is fucking shameful. Co-opted the image of their social movements, rug-pulled them with false promises of stability, exploited their vulnerabilities, then abandoned them. We gotta do better.

This is a nightmare scenario for trans people. If language like this gets into an HHS funding bill that becomes law, pretty much every hospital and doctor's office that treats trans people of any age would stop doing so.
This is the most extreme anti-trans push yet.
This is the most extreme anti-trans push yet.
![For the last few years, the GOP has coalesced around an idea that would short-circuit essentially all trans health care in America: banning federal funds from going to businesses that provide health care specific to changing one's sex or gender identity, including hormones and surgeries. It would essentially signal to the private sector that if it wants federal dollars, it needs to stay away from sex-or gender-affirming care, and bow down to right-wing pundits who aim to, in their own words,
"eradicate" and "erase" this form of
health care.
Language in House Republicans' most recent funding bill for the Health and Human Services Department would do just that - ban money from any federal program to entities that do "social transitioning" or drugs and surgery for "gender dysphoria." Gender dysphoria is the specific diagnosis doctors use to justify those medical interventions. This legislation has not gotten a vote yet and would need to be reintroduced next Congress to be considered. But it has been a top priority for Republican lawmakers in the House, and Trump himself has promised he'd ask Congress "to permanently stop federal taxpayer dollars from being used to promote or pay for these [trans] procedures." (You can hear all his promises on trans health care in this short campaign video.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hf7ezrajxadu7v3tzcyij424/bafkreid3evqccjqsjbwtdleb4kkevl4nepvc3h7wornyv37q5po7swxsei@jpeg)
