1. The federal government has just attempted to enact a national trans youth care ban.
A new HHS rule would shutter most gender-affirming care for trans youth nationwide.
It violates multiple laws and the constitution, and will likely go into effect in a few months.

A second national anti-trans healthcare bill has passed the US House, a medicaid ban for trans youth. 4 Democrats crossed party lines to vote for it. Henry Cueller (TX), Vincente Gonzalez (TX), Don Davis (NC), and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA). It is not expected to get through the Senate filibuster.

Shockingly, this bill would have failed were it not for the 3 Democrat defections.
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.

Now, 10 families are suing them for violating state law.

It would apply to airports, hospitals, even parts of Disneyworld.

So this take is spreading around a lot, and I want to put a little caution.
The NDAA is a bill that passes yearly, only applies to this year.
The “definition of sex” applies only to athletics and only to military cadets, so not other athletes.
It is still a bad bill, for many reasons.

It is not expected to pass into law due to the U.S. Senate.

I've reported on trans legislation and anti-trans actions in states across the United States for five years, including in blue states.
I distinctly remember some people getting upset at me for reporting blue-state anti-trans actions, saying that it could never happen there.
Sadly, it can.
