If anyone you know is 13-24, in the US, and is LGBTQ+, please have them complete the Trevor Project survey this year.

Their last survey has been integral to protecting LGBTQ+ rights globally.

I can't understate how big an impact it has. Multiple publications come from the data.

This is a really important read for many people out there, as this has been erroneously reported.

The spending bill DOES ban HRT from Medicaid, which is horrific.

It does NOT ban ACA/Private plans from covering it, as Gillian Branstetter of the ACLU lays out in her thread here.
Seeing a lot of confusion about the budget's provisions on trans care--it would strip Medicaid funds for trans care (which is awful enough) but it would NOT prohibit private insurers from providing coverage for trans care. It actually does something far more narrow and wonkier
Under the ACA, plans sold on the individual or small-group Marketplaces have to provide coverage for certain treatments called Essential Health Benefits (EHB). Only a few treatments (like abortion) are prohibited from coverage as an EHB by HHS--but insurers are not banned from covering it altogether

Last night, we were one of the first outlets to report the ADULT ban on gender affirming care for Medicaid recipients who depend on it to access it.

This morning, that bill passed 215-214-1.

It now goes to the senate.

It's a bleak day for transgender Americans.

House Republicans just voted to strip gender-affirming care from trans people of all ages on Medicaid — part of a sweeping budget bill that attacks healthcare for over 10 million Americans.

This is not just cruel — it’s a step toward banning gender-affirming care entirely.

The days of "Don't be evil" are long gone.

Youtube removes "gender identity" as a protected status and allows people to call trans people mentally ill.
SCOOP: YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy. "YouTube quietly removing ‘gender identity and expression’ from its list of protected groups is a major radical shift away from best practices in the field of trust and safety."

We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication.

The reporting on the trans travel visa ban is criminal.

It does NOT only affect transgender athletes.

The cables CLEARLY say it affects all trans people. They can reject visas on point 6 of anyone who is requesting a visa that does not match their assigned sex at birth.

To answer some quick questions about my latest story:
- It does not apply to the Visa Waiver Program as far as I can see
- It does not impact American citizens
- The ban exclusively impacts transgender foreigners seeking visas in the United States
- It is far more extensive than reported elsewhere
1. Major exclusive breaking news: Marco Rubio may have just banned trans foreigners seeking visas with correct gender markers from US Entry.

A new cable, effective immediately, says visas must contain assigned sex at birth and should be rejected if they don't.
