Parker MolloyThings are headed in such a scary direction right now, and I don't know how to cope with it https://abcnews.go.com/US/transgender-care-targeted-adulthood-states/story?id=97004686
And this is what Republicans would absolutely do on a federal level if given the opportunity. I'm scared, and I know all of this is only made worse by the unending media debate over the legitimacy and authenticity of trans people. It's been getting worse and worse, and there's been such little push-back.
We need federal-level protections now. Because one this kind of stuff happens, it doesn't slow down. The anxiety of just... existing right now is a lot.
Because, again, this doesn't just stop with "Look, we're only banning it until 19, only banning it to 21, only banning it until 26" stuff.
They want to ban the ability for trans people to transition *at any age.*
Again, you do not have to understand trans people (or even like trans people) to understand that the anti-trans movement is wrong here, that what they're pushing is a gross violation of human rights.
Please push back on politicians and pundits advancing the eliminationist anti-trans agenda.
The second half of this is just as idiotic.
People who do this shit are not actually trying to be helpful.
Brian Atwell@parkermolloy yeah, what kind of parent listens to their children when they tell you that something is wrong?
Oh yeah, good parents.
Oh yeah, good parents.
Chantel Turner@atwellorama @parkermolloy and the idea of “pushing” gender care on kids is absolutely wild. Nobody is strolling into the local Transition Depot. You need referrals, months (sometimes over a year) on waiting lists, often recommendations from a psychologist, and to say nothing of jumping through hoops upon hoops of insurance coverage. All the while emotionally bracing yourselves for someone in this long chain of care to have “concerns.” Its fucking exhausting.
