After Trump’s ban of gender-affirming care for youth, surgeries for some trans teens were canceled, writes @sarahprager.bsky.social. Advocates accused health care providers & other institutions of “obeying in advance” an executive order that has since been blocked in the courts.

I adored visiting Safe Space bookstore in Prague - queer, feminist, vegan, nonprofit! I got to sign 2 copies of Queer, There, and Everywhere and spend hours feeling at home. Seeing family anywhere we go, it’s beautiful.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.
No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."
Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."
It's a big step towards very bad things.

Thread of @erininthemorning.com breaking down the EO banning gender affirming care for youth (and some sections don’t specify youth)
Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.
It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

SCOTUS announces it will hear whether or not LGBTQ inclusive education is unconstitutional.
Not great for LGBTQ people, and could be disastrous to teaching that we have a history and have existed alongside everyone else for centuries.
