To the FAFO crowd: Before throwing everyone into the flames consider some may have been taught 1+1=3 by everyone they ever trusted. If you were told your entire life 1+1=3 and then some random told you 1+1=2, would you accept it? Compassion/forgiveness=part of humanity. Don't throw it away in anger.

If we are truly in a constitutional crisis as your colleagues said today, the time for action by leadership is now. We don't have months to wait for a response beyond words. Those that are fighting now deserve more than that.

They won’t stop with youth (not that this isn’t awful and hateful enough). It proclaims WPATH is junk science and junk science as fact. It is a clear attack on all who believe your healthcare should be between you and your doctors (actual experts).
Hospitals, clinics and medical schools that provide gender-affirming care to transgender youth are at risk of losing federal funding, according to a new executive order signed by Trump on Tuesday.

The executive order is likely to be challenged in court.

College Fix [Jan 25] -- Study: ppl wanting to ban trans women from sports also see women's sports as "less deserving of attention, support, & media attention." Thus animus unlikely to be bec. of any real desire to promote female athletics & more likely just transphobia.

Diversity is the foundation of human existence. It is a fundamental building block of our reproduction process. Denying or reducing it makes us all worse not better. Science and history have repeatedly shown this. No matter their genetic makeup we should want them to have full and successful lives.

1. Ahead of 2025, nearly 120 anti-trans bills have been filed across the United States, far surpassing the 80 bills filed by this time in 2023.

The bills target the ability of trans people to move, live, and exist freely as themselves in public.

1. Yesterday, Nancy Mace used a slur targeted at transgender people in response to bathroom sit-ins.

The slur was posted to her official account, which could pose trouble for her as clear evidence of discriminatory animus in her anti-trans legislation.
