That was an incredibly difficult read. I would suggest anyone not in a very good place right now may want to skim or skip it. That is trauma on the half shell, and also exactly what the fascists are teeing up for anyone who is not “perfect” by their disgusting standards. I wish i could say ignore it, though. I cannot.

Not just Medicaid, but also anyone receiving subsidized insurance from the exchanges, which is a lot of people, INCLUDING ME. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!
ETA: I want to make something clear. This isn’t going to affect me much, personally. I’ve already fully transitioned. The only GAC I get is a prescription for oral estrogen, which is inexpensive even without insurance. My FUCKs are because there are a lot of me’s out there, and this is going to make life really, really hard for them. I’m going to be fine. But I still care about the other me’s. Everyone should.

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023.
They’re now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved “positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes.”

This is the entire fulcrum of the anti-trans movement. Every random person believes they have the right to weigh in on “care” and what is psychologically and medically best for kids and even other adults, and for some reason governments have decided this is rational.

Pretending that their cruelty and domination is compassion is the same thing the anti-abortion movement does.

That shit dates way back. It’s always the same playbook because it’s the only one they have. It’s cruel to give women the vote, their fragile brains just can’t handle the pressure. Slavery was a kindness, they would never have Christianized without it. It’s cruel to allow people to think they sre gay, we need to treat it as an illness. Etc, etc. They always read from that songbook. Because it is the straight white Christian male paternalistic POV that they all think is the one correct way. It’s utter bullshit, of course, but it has always been the rightwing mindset.

At this point I flinch when someone even uses a reference to a JKR book.
She allies herself with fucking neonazis, people!!! What does it take to realize she’s evil!?!

I don’t remember seeing him for a long time. Italian Elon Musk still shows up though.

If Gaiman does show back up, he should probably be a villain now, along the lines of Joanne.
I hate this stupid timeline.
