Anti-Transgender Bill Advances in Puerto Rico, Seeking to Ban Lifesaving Care for Youth and Punish Parents and Doctors

#SCOTUS on Wednesday upheld Tennessee’s ban on #gender-affirming care for #transgender minors, a stunning setback to #TransgenderRights.
The 6-3 decision in a case from #Tennessee effectively protects from legal challenges many efforts by #Trump’s #Republican admin & #state govts to roll back #protections for transgender people. 26 other #states have laws similar to the one in TN.

Over 180,000 Transgender people in the US could lose healthcare if HR 1 becomes law
"#Russia's 'anti-#woke #visa' woos #Western #expatriates
#Moscow's "Shared Values Visa" welcomes #conservative migrants who are against #LGBTQ+ rights or globalism in general. Russia, meanwhile, uses the newcomers for #propaganda"
We can have a lot of different reactions to this
Mine is very simple:
Go
Bon voyage
Have a nice trip assholes. Enjoy the sinking ship under #Putin's #ethnofascist #imperialist government
Bye, Felicia

NEW ESSAY: rather than reading the legalese #SCOTUS used to justify #Skrmetti, learn about how conspiracy theorists hijacked mainstream discourse on gender-affirming care, and why many ppl find these particular "conspiracies" so compelling:

Gallup’s latest survey of more than 14,000 U.S. adults finds that 9.3% now identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or another identity other than heterosexual — up from 8.2% in 2023 and more than 2x the share recorded just 4 years ago.
Mass. Senate has already passed an updated Shield Act to enhance statewide protections for transgender health care and the providers who administer it.

CORRECTION POST ON CANADIAN LGBTQ HOTLINE FAKE
However, the number listed, 1-877-330-6366, does not connect to a Canadian government service. It connects to Trans Lifeline, a nonprofit, peer-led support line that has served both American and Canadian transgender people since 2014. No new Canadian hotline has been created for LGBTQ+ Americans.

The Supreme Court rules against health care access for trans youth. Don’t count on other sex-based rulings to stand either.

"It’s always the ones pointing the fingers, the ones screaming the loudest about 'protecting the children.' That’s why we call them gaslighters. They demonize drag queens and the LGBTQIA+ community. Meanwhile, they’re the ones doing the most harm behind closed doors."
