The FTC is seeking public comment about gender affirming care in order to go after providers and restrict access. Share your stories instead of how this care has helped you and how it is life saving.
We need to counteract their false narratives. Please share!

It can be difficult to not give in to despair, but revolutions aren't built on "we're fucked."
In general it’s fine to post “we’re fucked” on your own account because you might feel that way and it might be therapeutic to say how bad everything is, but it’s not fine to reply “we’re fucked” to everyone and everything because that might not be what other people need to hear all the time

Republican Congressman Bresnahan recently sold his stock in Centene, a Medicaid health care provider. The stock has now fallen 43% since his sale.
His sale seemingly coincides with his vote to advance Trump's budget bill that will kick 17 million Americans off their health care.
