TIL I share a birthday with Rosa Parks. I may never achieve her level of greatness, but what an inspiration she is to stand up to injustice. Especially considering the political climate.

Hospital protests have begun for hospitals that are complying with an executive order banning gender affirming care.
The order does NOT have the force of law, but some hospital systems are too scared of trump to defend trans kids in their care.
This one at UVA Hospital.

All I can really say at this point is if everyone isn't watching how trans people have lost basic rights and protections on a scale that hasn't been seen in decades in the span of 72 hours and realizing that even if you aren't trans there's nothing stopping it from happening to you, you're a fool

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.

Exactly a year ago I filed the paperwork with my local courthouse to legally change my name to match my gender, not thinking what the date was. Fitting.

Is that how Republicans want to protect kids now? By humiliating and violating them?

$750/mo for 6 months led to homelessness dropping to 12% versus 23% in the control group on a wait list.

Can someone please explain to me why every dating site user name of “M” turns out to be a Michael? Every single Matt, Mark, and Max I’ve come across uses his actual name but if his name is Michael/Mike he’ll use “M.”
What gives?
