You do not have to accept repeat Covid infections as inevitable.
Mitigations work. Layers work best.
Get your booster. Clean & ventilate the air. Test and stay home when sick.
Perhaps most important of all, wear a well fitted N95.
It protects you & those around you. Community care can save us!

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper...
But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines.
They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the

Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care.

Elena Parent represents a heavily Democratic district, which encompasses a touch of Atlanta and its suburbs.
In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular."

If you’re a straight, cis person who has ever posted some version of a rainbow with “you’re safe with me” or similar, it’s time to back up the words with action— contact your reps and ask them what they’re going to do to protect trans people from this administration, particularly trans kids.

“If your daughter is going through precocious puberty, she can get puberty blockers. If your daughter is trans, she can’t”
The discrimination behind gender-affirming care bans was highlighted, as they are only affecting trans youth.
