"How did you find out you were trans?"
"The usual way. When I was still an egg I told a fae my deadname and they got really mad when it had no power over me."
we did it guys, we created a new gilded age
"By 2021, the top 1% income share has reached an all-time high of 27.4% much higher than the previous record of 23.9% in 1928"
Bad People are going after trans healthcare for all ages in Tennessee, Texas, and Florida now. Each of the three bills uses a different method, but the effect of each is to try to ban trans healthcare.
But they're just... so, so fucking stupid. These bills *will not work*.
TN and FL are trying to make it too expensive for insurers to continue to cover trans healthcare, in an attempt to get them to remove coverage.
But insurers can't. They're compelled by the ACA.

no-paywall link, pls share & give it lots of "claps" (up to 50) so others see it!

Utah didn’t ban youth hormone therapy such as testosterone boosters for cis boys. It didn’t ban “gender affirming surgery” such as breast augmentation for cis girls.
Just for trans kids.
You know, in case you’re wondering if lawmakers are really out to “protect the children” like they claim.
Give me a break.
