They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump.
“We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing.
It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America”
But it never stops there.
They got the memo. Good job AP.

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services.
This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

They literally want affirmative action for white people.
Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"
This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.
