Another disaster. This one has actual harmful consequences for trans kids and their families.
Under the proposed rule issued by the Trump Administration today, any Medicare- or Medicaid-participating hospital would be barred from providing gender-affirming care to *any child*, even if the care is not paid for by Medicare or Medicaid.

A second national anti-trans healthcare bill has passed the US House, a medicaid ban for trans youth. 4 Democrats crossed party lines to vote for it. Henry Cueller (TX), Vincente Gonzalez (TX), Don Davis (NC), and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA). It is not expected to get through the Senate filibuster.

While we were busy with the US Congress, major international news on trans healthcare.
A New Zealand court announced an injunction on the far-right trans health care ban there.
The court says that the biggest danger is posed by banning care.

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.
Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."
Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing
The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.
If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

As long as the loudest folks on the left insist tone-policing, compromise on human rights, and acquiescence are our only options for a unified country, they will continue to lose the faith of the marginalized. And even when they win, they’ll just be waiting to lose the same way again.

Paging “Muslims for Trump”…
Trump just shared an anti-Muslim video from Charlie Kirk complaining about the way Muslims pray and claiming they “hate America” and should be deported.
The post itself warns, “Islam will suffocate the US, just as it’s doing worldwide.”
