A ton of sports orgs, hospitals etc. that are NOT under the President’s authority bent over backwards to discriminate against trans people ASAP - meanwhile the US Army is explicitly delaying implementing the Order directing them to fire trans troops, deny trans soldiers medical treatment, etc.
Army guidance on implementing President Trump's order on transgender troops, filed in court today, says to NOT take adverse personnel action against people based on gender identity "at this time" and to continue medical treatment. for gender dysphoria.

i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!
A New York City doctor said he will continue providing gender-affirming treatments to his patients younger than 19 despite President Donald Trump’s executive order aiming to ban such care.
New York doctor says he'll continue providing transition care despite Trump executive order
As legal battles are fought over an executive order restricting transgender care for patients younger than 19, some clinics continue to provide the care, while others are backing off.

the president does not have anywhere near the authority to do what he did in that order. this rollover is pathetic.
we now have it confirmed:
hospitals across the country are shutting off treatment for all trans people under 19 years of age
some hospitals are still continuing care, but make no mistake: this will kill countless children and teens

“We owe it to trans youth and communities to push back with all our might, to refuse to deny care, to challenge administrators who try to shut it down, to support providers under attack, and to contribute to mutual aid efforts that will ensure continuity of care.” @dreanyc123.bsky.social
My latest reprinted in @truthout.org. “For those of us who care deeply about trans children and trans communities, it’s important to stay focused on what the moment demands of us.”
We Aren’t Powerless in the Face of Trump’s Outrageous, Anti-Trans Edicts
We can’t prevent all of this administration’s harms, but we can greatly diminish their impacts if we organize.

if you look at a bad thing that happened and assume, evidence-free, that it's because a Black person got a job they shouldn't have, you're not a "DEI skeptic," you're a dumb gutter racist
Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

Extremely relatable thread
i was a trans kid who almost killed themselves.
at age 11, i nearly threw my body down a giant hill into a busy street after school one day.
i was saved but by people who told me being trans didn’t really exist and threatened to out me.
now 14 years of my youth can never be remembered again.

PLEASE
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.

It directs the federal government to work with state AGs to put teachers who use trans kids pronouns in jail through "sexual exploitation" laws or "practicing medicine without a license."

This order will kill kids, there's no other way to say it. It's the government forcibly taking control of the bodies of thousands of children.
Trump issues a sweeping executive order purporting to (a) defund medical institutions that provide gender-affirming care to patients under 19 and (b) revoke coverage for such care under federal insurance plans. This is illegal and will be challenged. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
