ICE will have to put me in handcuffs to get near my patients, and I'm rather difficult to handcuff when I'm in a mood.

Mother fucker - if you hold enough privilege that you're able to pack up your life to move to another country - you need to be using that privilege in the fight against this fascist bullshit going on!

Did you know that in "normal" times lesbians and bisexual women are twice as likely as straight women to attempt suicide? Gay and bisexual men four times as likely as straight men? And transgender folks 14 times more likely than cisgender folks to attempt suicide?

The Centers for Disease Control sent an email this morning immediately canceling our Transgender Health grant at my agency. We were ordered to immediately stop all service provision, release staff, and told we couldn't bill for services recently rendered.
We're going to keep serving our patients.
