2025 Doll Checkpoint. How are you doing?
2025 Doll Checkpoint We’re halfway through 2025. If you’re not * Hanging out with other trans people in your area * Appreciating the natural beauty of the world * Drinking PBR * Considering a new body modification * Practicing your Tony Soprano impression * Creating art or enjoying that of your peers * Fighting fascism You’re behind. Your network is your net worth 🏳️‍⚧️💪😤 (If you’re busy and tired I get that. But you should really make the time to hang out with other queer people if you can, it’s important)

I’m wondering how to fight this and get around it legally while still keeping care affordable & accessible for people, assuming this becomes law. Could states create a separate program for gender affirming care that doesn’t use federal funding? Could a city open up clinics or partner w/ hospitals?
Last year, about 24% of transgender and gender-diverse patients at Howard Brown Health were on Medicaid, according to Howard Brown Health. Howard Brown Health has clinics in Chicago and specializes in care for patients who are LGBTQ+. “This is necessary, life-saving health care that people are just going to suddenly no longer have access to,” said Tim Wang, director of policy and advocacy at Howard Brown Health. At Planned Parenthood of Illinois, nearly 30% of patients receiving gender-affirming care are on Medicaid, said Tonya Tucker, interim president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Illinois, in a statement.

I suggest that we call for a Board Meeting before this month is out and consider discussion this issue once and for all.

Statement from President Joe Biden on the Equal Rights Amendment Home. Briefing Room. Statements and Releases I have supported the Equal Rights Amendment for more than 50 years, and I have long been clear that no one should be discriminated against based on their sex. We, as a nation, must affirm and protect women’s full equality once and for all. On January 27, 2020, the Commonwealth of Virginia became the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. The American Bar Association (ABA) has recognized that the Equal Rights Amendment has cleared all necessary hurdles to be formally added to the Constitution as the 28th Amendment. I agree with the ABA and with leading legal constitutional scholars that the Equal Rights Amendment has become part of our Constitution. It is long past time to recognize the will of the American people. In keeping with my oath and duty to Constitution and country, I affirm what I believe and what three-fourths of the states have ratified: the 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex.
