Panel 1) Rachael and Henry hanging out in Henry's room. Henry is sat on his potty. Henry: Mummy, you have a penis? Rachael: No, sweetheart. I have a vagina. Panel 2) Closer look at Henry and Rachael. Henry: What is it doing? Rachael: What is my...vagina...doing? Henry: Yeh. Panel 3) Close on Rachael. She looks confused. Rachael: I... Panel 4) Rachael with lots of maths stuff behind her like that confused maths woman meme.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...
"A screenshot of an NBC News article headline. The headline reads: 'Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail.' Below the headline, a subtext states: 'The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.' The NBC News logo is visible at the top, along with a navigation bar that includes a 'WATCH' button and a user profile icon."

In a new lawsuit filed against Trump by state AGs, a family with a trans kid shares she died by suicide last month citing fears Trump would deny her access to gender-affirming care. "Her parents have expressed fear...that what happened to their daughter does not happen to other children."
The serious concerns over how the Order will detrimentally impact transgender youth cannot be overstated. One Washingtonian, as her parents describe her, was a bright and gentle soul who loved playing musical instruments, trying new things, and playing Magic the Gathering. She was excited to learn Japanese and the impact of gender-affirming care was immediately clear to her family. Her parents described that “her joy was clear with every new milestone in her transition. She was so happy to get to the next step, to get closer to presenting in a way that was true to herself.” But the day before the presidential election, she shared, “[t]omorrow I get to find out if I’m illegal.” After the election, she asked her parents if they could move to Canada because she was fearful of new restrictions on transgender youth and worried about losing access to gender-affirming care. In January 2025, she took her life. After the Order issued, her parents expressed that the outlook for transgender futures looks scary and shared fears of what ending gender-affirming care would have meant for their daughter’s access to therapy, puberty-delaying medication, hormones, and hope of surgery. Her parents have expressed fear for the many lives who depend on gender-affirming care and that what happened to their daughter does not happen to any other children.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

Massive protest at Children’s National in DC.

A former patient is speaking who they used in promotional to show how much they care about trans kids.

Now the hospital is one of a small few nationwide complying with trumps unlawful EO to end trans care.

I am getting spotty reports of hospital systems in blue states cancelling gender affirming care appointments for those under 19 years of age.

If true, this would be a major problem, as systems comply with illegal EOs in advance out of fear of DOJ weaponization.

Please let me know if yours has.
