Sarah McBride rarely centers her identity as a trans woman. Republicans do that for her. So when she steps to the microphone and talks about "21 years of unwavering homesickness," it means something. @mcbride.house.gov www.readtpa.com/p/watch-rep-...

Gender affirming care for trans people is safe, effective, and has a lower regret rate (4%) than almost any major medical procedure. It saves lives. These are facts. The right's talking-points are recycled "they are coming for your children!" scare tactics well over fifty years old at this point.
New research finds trans teens have high satisfaction with gender care
The survey published in JAMA Pediatrics showed that trans teens taking puberty blockers or hormones had very low rates of regret.

Congresswoman McBride articulates it so well - a life of purpose, happiness, and wholeness is all I have ever sought, and it did not seem possible until I transitioned. To deny that to children is evil.
I was a kid once. And my biggest regret in life is that I never got a childhood without pain.
Politicians should never insert themselves into the personal health care decisions of patients, parents, and their providers—and that includes trans Americans.

I feel ungrateful and sort of stupid for saying so but getting a gift that is the shallow version of what you asked for feels awful. Especially when you think it’s something the other person would enjoy getting for you.

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

I really wish more people were dedicated to be kind, regardless of being nice, rather then trying to be nice but skipping being kind entirely. Nice is a cool bit of flavor text. Kind is fucking essential.

I (naively) thought I would be safe as a trans person in California and it is becoming very clear that is not going to be the case.
Holy shit - Gavin Newsom has clarified that this goes even further.

Worth noting that this is also what the UK government review found, it just ignored all the evidence in its conclusions.

It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.
jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.
yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.
no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

hi, cis folks!
if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status.
~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care.
that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵
