people are real into not giving the trump regime what it wants today & that’s good because you shouldn’t, but one of the things it very much wants is to end healthcare for trans kids & even if you don’t care about trans kids (you should; shame on you), what if you told them hell no out of spite?
what should you do? call your senators.
what if they're GOP? call. some house GOP voted against both.
what should you say? try one of these scripts. make it your own! they're less than a minute with built-in bail outs. yes, you should threaten your vote.

my name is [your name]. two anti-transgender healthcare bills passed the house with democrat help—HR 498 and HR 3492. i’m calling today to tell senator [your senator’s name] to vote no and publicly commit to a no vote right now.
it shouldn’t be in question that any democrat would vote no on a law that says “people donald trump doesn’t like can’t get life-saving healthcare,” but here we are. no one knows where democrats stand on anything right now. the senator needs to stand up and speak up.
[you can bail out here at 30 seconds if you need to!]
every 2025 election proved you don’t need to compromise with bigots on transgender rights to win votes. not in virginia or ohio or kentucky. it’s wrong, it doesn’t work, and it alienates loyal voters. both of these bills are a no.
if senator [your senator’s name] votes yes on either of these, [he or she] loses my vote going forward. when these anti trans bills come up for a vote it absolutely must be a no from every democrat in the chamber.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2lzahebnas6od6j6jfydwst7/bafkreigmuw3qponpk5lflrqbhytzrivbrz4bpehyaxpepqdlrfjsgvdvg4@jpeg)

my name is [your name] and i’m calling today to tell senator [your senator’s name] to vote no on two bills that passed the house december 17th and 18th: HR 498 and HR 3492.
both of these bills take away healthcare for a whole group of people. the government shouldn’t have that kind of power. this is overreach. this is an absolute no.

the government doesn’t belong in any doctor’s office. if senator [your senator’s name] votes yes on either of these, how can i trust [him or her] to not come into my doctor’s office next? this is wrong. a yes vote loses my vote going forward.

i think if you use genai for anything, even writing an email, you're both a moron and a huge baby, and i dont want to play your video game as a result. its not that hard!
As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what is considered "made with generative AI." Can a dev team say they're not using AI if they're writing design docs with Copilot or using chatGPT to make schedules and budgets?

It's very easy:
Just don't. The idea that Copilot or ChatGPT are suddenly essential tools is just buying into the corporate ad blitz.
Games were made just fine (well, relatively) up through...what, 2023? 2024? They didn't suddenly become VITAL for budgets or design docs in the last 2-3 years.

this week, with some democrat votes, 2 anti-trans bills passed the house. one bans medicaid funds for trans youth care, the other proposes jail time for providers.
they haven't passed the senate, but dems may need convincing to vote no on both.

cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by the trump-kennedy center than the fact that congress said a second time in 2 days, “no, really this kind of child’s healthcare should be banned & criminalized” & 46/47 non-GOP senators won’t commit to “i will oppose this.”

if you are a trans teen right now, you do not have the lifetime of experience with the united states federal legislative branch to cope with “this will *probably* die in the senate” on top of the rest of your life and that right there feels like a fucking flavor of abuse at scale.
I haven't been in the pediatric trans healthcare system since 2019 and I can barely look at these headlines without wanting to puke.
Can't imagine the fucking damage this is doing to trans kids today.
