People talk about the "male loneliness epidemic", but all a man has to do is take a jumbo packet of hot dogs into the forest and he can easily make friends with dozens, if not hundreds, of raccoons.

Perfect example of DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE
Here's the CMS letter being sent to state Medicaid directors that precipitated the Planned Parenthood AZ pause on trans care. Notably, this is literally just a letter and does not change any federal laws or regulations.
There's no reason to obey to this ridiculous request.

Exclusive: U.S. CDC plans study into vaccines and autism, sources say
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is planning a large study into potential connections between vaccines and autism, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, despite extensive scientific research that has disproven or failed to find evidence of such links.

Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”

Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

As a doctor providing gender affirming care through an FQHC and someone who has received gender affirming care, navigating supporting my trans patients while not putting a big red “cut my funding” sign on my forehead is an excrutiating dilemma. We need the funding to provide the care.
I will post only once more about this tonight.
Whitman-Walker is how I am Erin.
I hold this name because of the resources they provided the trans community.
I hope what I have written tonight gives them pause, and all orgs who would do this.

1. On Friday Night, it became apparent that historic LGBTQ+ clinic Whitman-Walker in DC had erased trans care and resources from it's website.
The stated reason is harmful to us all.
I make my case against it, and other orgs, erasing us for federal dollars.

Welcome to affirmative action for white male mediocrity, which has a long, long history but is all ramped up and shouty and sulky right now.
So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that
