Disabled people deserve healthcare, social supports & accommodation.
These are not controversial concepts. Ableism & health supremacy tell you otherwise.

School officials in Maine say they will not comply with a proposed agreement from President Trump’s administration that would bar transgender athletes from participating in girls’ sports.
Maine officials won’t comply with the Trump administration's trans athlete ban
The administration said earlier this month that the Maine Department of Education, Maine Principals’ Association and a high school are each in violation of Title IX because of the participation of trans athletes.

a cloture vote for the way-harder-to-undo-than-an-executive-order federal anti-trans sports ban is now set for monday. that means there's more time to make calls.
no on cloture means it doesn't get a vote. the GOP needs 7 dems to advance it.
please call. there is *so* much evil downstream of this.

There’s also the issue of public perception.
Anti mask sentiment is a problem and people have been harassed, assaulted, spit on & more just for wearing a mask.
When you pass a mask ban, even with a medical exemption, you reinforce the notion that masking is “wrong”.

A number of folks are pointing out that there are medical exemptions to mask bans as though it makes these ugly laws “ok”.
Medical exemptions are wildly problematic. Police aren’t doctors and shouldn’t decide who’s medically justified in masking.

Hi, this is eugenics
Had my first healthcare worker refuse to mask for me.
My chart is documented that I’m immune compromised & require staff to mask. The facility had a policy that if asked, staff will wear.
I was told “no I need to breathe to do my job”.
I stood firm & said I’m high risk and masks are required 🧵

In light of all the horrible things I'm hearing about Facebook's policy changes right now, I feel compelled to state that trans rights are human rights. Trans and nonbinary folks deserve the same respect and dignity afforded to anyone else.

Also if you’re masking - you can be reasonably certain you didn’t infect anyone else.
If you’re sick and struggling - please take comfort in that. You broke chains of transmission. You protected the people around you.
If more people cared enough to do that we would all be safer
