Thanks so much for reporting on what's happening and leaving the door open for a little hope. I called my senators. I'm bracing for my Medicaid to be taken away but am grateful for everyone who's fighting against that.

We can't let the transphobe take residence in our heads. We have to be out there fighting. I do bodily autonomy work so we need to fight for our care and for Planned Parenthood. Over 1m patients would lose their PP Clinic. Many of us outside the cities get HRT there. The fight is for the right to properly care for our bodies. Repro rights and the right to be authentically in our bodies are basic rights. We must win this battle.

Hi! Punchbowl and Politico are both reporting that today and tomorrow are when the Senate Finance Committee is addressing Medicaid provisions before the parliamentarian. Please everyone do the work reported above TODAY!!!

Note that if you live in a state with a law covering transgender care, these laws do not apply if your company is self insured. All self-funded plans are subject to federal law - you can ask your HR if your company’s policy is self funded

Oh hey, you didn't like my "trans joy" either. I think we're all just trying to figure out what's going on here, and I appreciate the authors reporting on the facts.

My state has a law protecting trans healthcare in Medicaid. One of my neighbors does not. I'm fighting for their hormones!
