9 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Rep Senators offer up poison-pill Obamacare plan to Dems that replaces subsidies with HSAs (this won't work) while banning GAC coverage for all ages, including thru Medicaid. Presumably not a serious proposal but just to score points on the trans issue.
Democrats Must Reject The Premise Of Trans Healthcare Bans In Republican Healthcare Offer
Republicans' new healthcare bill would bar transgender healthcare as an essential health benefit, bar trans medicaid coverage, and would bar HSAs from considering trans healthcare medically necessary.

If you think that members of marginalized communities should be grateful that you’re not a terrible human being, that means that you think you’re intrinsically worth more than they are.
That means you think they are lesser than you.
And that’s awful.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The same bs they're spewing about autism and tylenol is the same bs they're spewing about trans people's healthcare. It's the exact same playbook and the fact that the media can see through one and not the other is a damning indictment of how complicit they are in the attack on trans lives.

Twitter people are talking about the CNN poll showing that people "approve" of Trump's handling of gender identity.
Turns out though when you look at the crosstabs, Democrats and Independents do not approve of Trump's handling of trans issues.
But Republicans absolutely love it.

Many Democratic politicians have forgotten that leaders can shape public opinion, rather than just always follow it.
Republicans learned this lesson over a decade ago.
Elected officials should not be a moving polling average. They should be humans with values and willing to stand up for them.
