BREAKING: The House of Representatives passed a bill that would criminalize gender-affirming care for transgender youth under 18 and put doctors in prison for providing this care.
This bill is an unjustifiable threat to the well-being of trans youth and their families. The Senate must reject it.

Much respect to those who deliver our goods. I see my package being delivered by FedX was loaded on her truck at 5:02 am CST this morning. I just checked. She’s still on the way. It’s now 5:51 pm CST. She’ll have at least a 13 hour day…and possibly closer to 14 or 15.
