Key takeaway from the article for me was this paragraph:

"The stark reality is now inescapable: legislations targeting the medical care of transgender adults have taken root, despite the claims of anti-trans activists that they are trying to “protect children” with these laws. Florida's new provisions represent the first significant restrictions on trans adult care to fully materialize."

A shock to no one who has been paying attention.

Now if only local queers and allies in my state state would pay attention. We just passed some of the same shiz not too long ago and it sucks. Esp bc someone decided to flip and give them a supermajority here.

I'm scared as a bi, nb, and AuDHD person for my life. If people in my community knew I'm sure I'd become another statistic 😭

Just do your best to show that Republicans want to rule, not to govern, to centrists and "apolitical" people in your state, although don't compromise your safety more than you want.

Yea which is rough bc I live in a highly red rural area. I think all of them are completely fine with that too bc they'd rather I not exist. It's so wild the things I hear and see here....maybe not as bad as some but it's getting there...

I grew up in a similar place - I was still surprised to find how many people were ignorant enough that they didn't have a fully formed, hateful opinion, so they were easier for me to talk to and deal with.

And below the radar for anyone who hasn’t.

"Just the kids, they lack judgement"

"Just the teens, they lack judgement"

"Just the young adults, they lack judgement"

"Ah, might as well illegalize it for everyone"

Clearly everyone who deviates from traditional gender norms lacks judgement.

Yep....always about having a scapegoat to distract from the big plan 😭

I want Desantis to die in a slow, horribly painful way like cancer

Oh, how surprising...
