Honestly I expect this kind of vote from your colleague, but I believed you saw more clearly. I’m sorry I didn’t call your office ahead of the vote, that’s on me. But could you tell me how to explain it to my child?

Hi @smith.senate.gov. First time caller long time supporter. My 15 year old is trans and I was wondering how you would like me to explain your vote today? Should I tell them - your senators don’t really think you’re human, honey. Or: they think you’re faking it, honey? Which one?

Yeah, this thing where we expect children to outlive their parents is, historically speaking, very recent.
Read this moving and urgently necessary account
Important lessons from old books: "Victorian novels chronicle the terrible grief of losing children. Depicting the cruelty of diseases largely unfamiliar today, they also warn against being lulled into thinking that child deaths can never be inevitable again." theconversation.com/infectious-d...

I think getting a cancer diagnosis is one of the scariest things in the world. It was for me. I can't imagine people thinking that adding worries about coverage being denied on top of that is acceptable. Especially just to make shareholders richer. I just can't fathom it.

Anyway I will be going full villain mode on the VA next week (and my Congressman’s district office will be seeing a lot more of me!). For a country that fetishizes the military we sure do treat veterans and their families like shit.

all i'm saying is it would've been nice to have this healthcare policy discussion *before* we gave a trifecta to the party that tried to strip coverage from tens of millions of people last time they were in power

This also happened to my husband. I naievely thought that since we paid out of pocket for them, it would count against our “out of pocket maximum” and deductible.
Ha! No. Because they deemed it “not medically necessary,” it didn’t count for anything.
Because being able to walk isn’t necessary?

Remembering when my $1,000 foot orthopedic inserts were denied by UnitedHealthCare because “podiatry prosthetics are not covered in your plan” and I could not walk without them so I appealed and they denied so I had to pay out of pocket (I was making $35,000/year in New York City).

When the GOP does the previously unthinkable in the next few years and guts funding for Veterans Affairs, don't we say we didn't warn this would happen.

I work very hard to not co-opt the struggles of people I love. What I can say that is that I can tell you that as a parent of a transgender child, I have no sympathy in the world for a single parent who is not enthusiastically supportive of their child's gender expression.

The idea that each surgical case should take a uniform amount of time is ridiculous and not supported by either the data, or the variability of human bodies and their anatomy.

Every anti-trans-care argument falls apart when you ask why it doesn't apply to any other medical decision
this is an argument for banning both all plastic surgery and knee replacements
Kavanaugh obsessed over trans people "regretting" their decision to transition and that being a state interest.
Setting aside the fact that the rate of "regret" is very low, it's not the state's job to protect people from regret.
This is an argument for the ultimate nanny-state.

This should be said everywhere. Allowing discrimination like this against trans people undermines bedrock principles of constitutional rights across the board.
Jackson gets back to Loving v. Virginia, jokes that she's getting kinda nervous. References that Virginia also cited science to back up its antimiscegenation laws. Outright states that she's concerned about the erosion of bedrock cases of civil rights.

If your religious beliefs are so fragile that the existence of other people who live differently feels threatening to your way of life, then that’s not a reflection on their values, it’s a reflection on yours.
