In a new lawsuit filed against Trump by state AGs, a family with a trans kid shares she died by suicide last month citing fears Trump would deny her access to gender-affirming care. "Her parents have expressed fear...that what happened to their daughter does not happen to other children."
![The serious concerns over how the Order will detrimentally impact transgender
youth cannot be overstated. One Washingtonian, as her parents describe her, was a bright and
gentle soul who loved playing musical instruments, trying new things, and playing Magic the
Gathering. She was excited to learn Japanese and the impact of gender-affirming care was
immediately clear to her family. Her parents described that “her joy was clear with every new
milestone in her transition. She was so happy to get to the next step, to get closer to presenting
in a way that was true to herself.” But the day before the presidential election, she shared,
“[t]omorrow I get to find out if I’m illegal.” After the election, she asked her parents if they
could move to Canada because she was fearful of new restrictions on transgender youth and
worried about losing access to gender-affirming care. In January 2025, she took her life. After
the Order issued, her parents expressed that the outlook for transgender futures looks scary and
shared fears of what ending gender-affirming care would have meant for their daughter’s access
to therapy, puberty-delaying medication, hormones, and hope of surgery. Her parents have
expressed fear for the many lives who depend on gender-affirming care and that what happened
to their daughter does not happen to any other children.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mlmouohgzbjofidukcp4pxf2/bafkreich7jyv3lnkmd5r234itpdhtvavgblc46ai6d47tb4i7oxgfga2ym@jpeg)

You ever watch someone repeatedly make their life more difficult and think “wow, if only you respected me enough to listen to what I had to say”

I got my cat an automatic feeder so she can eat more smaller meals throughout the day instead of throwing up all over the place. She’s big mad.

An elderly couple stopped my partner at the grocery store and asked him to help them lift something into their cart. Several other elderly people lined up and asked him for help after that. It was such a sweet and wholesome interaction and just reminds me of how much I love him ❤️

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

I got my first job offer in over a year of searching yesterday. I’m so excited to finally have something, and to not be unemployed, but holy shit is it so hard to get hired as someone with a visible disability. It shouldn’t be that hard. #employment #disability #newjob #workplaceaccessibility

I think a big part of admitting your disability to yourself is repeatedly going through every stage of grief as you mourn the body and life you used to have. #disability #grief #chronicillness

no, food companies, something is not "crave worthy" just because it's only 100 calories or whatever. Stop assigning moral values to food.
oh and while I'm here: all food is real, please fuck off

Been watching Abbott Elementary lately. I fucking miss teaching so much. I miss my students. I miss my staff. I even miss the parents sometimes (very very rarely). #education #formerteacher

There are no pipelines to leftist thinking, but there are many that funnel into the alt right. As fun as it is to just to tell people to fuck off and educate themselves, realistically the only way to make any kind of change is to be willing to have hard conversations with people you don’t like.

Calling all right wingers and republicans stupid/ idiotic is not only unproductive, it is just incorrect. Intelligent people can fall for propaganda as well, and you are not immune to it just because you’re taking the moral high ground. #checkyourself

As much as I like this app, I feel like TikTok is a way more accessible way to spread and receive info. My dyslexic ass is really struggling with all of the reading I’ve had to do lately. #disability #accessibility #tiktok

Small acts of kindness like wearing a respirator, checking on someone who might be all alone, making a meal for someone in need, donating to mutual aid….These things have a huge impact

@imanibarbarin.bsky.social said it way better (go follow her here and on tt), but people bringing up their disability online has been labeled as “online behavior” because the internet is the first place most of yall have had to interact with your disabled peers. #disability #accessibility
