This is an abandonment of the most vulnerable trans youth, for whom Fenway Health was often a provider of last resort, and signals Fenway’s willingness to abandon all trans patients.

They must be pressured over this capitulation. We need your help - reach out, call, demand answers!

Let them know what you think.

Gov. Healey: 617-725-4005
AG Campbell: 617-727-2200
Fenway: 617-267-0900

cis Bostonians specifically, we need you to step up. I'm already seeing my local trans circles raise hell about this, but we need you, too. I wrote a phone script. Use it and spread it:

Hello, my name is [name] and I'm a [transgender] constituent living in [City], Massachusetts. I'm calling to bring to Gov. Healey's attention the deeply alarming development coming from Fenway Health, in which they've recently announced they will no longer provide gender affirming healthcare to patients under the age of 19 in order to retain their federally recognized status. This is in utter direct violation of our state constitution, specifically Chapter 127, in which quote, "Access to reproductive health care services and gender-affirming health care services is a right secured by the constitution and laws of the commonwealth. Interference with this right, whether or not under the color of law, is against the public policy of the commonwealth." This is also in contradiction of Boston declaring itself a sanctuary city for transgender people, the resolution which states Boston has, quote, "a specific commitment to protecting transgender and gender-diverse individuals. Taxpayer-funded agencies shall not comply with federal efforts to strip resources that safeguard their rights. Boston will not cooperate with federal or state policies that harm transgender and gender-diverse people and remains committed to ensuring their access to healthcare...without fear or discrimination."

As Massachusetts' first openly gay Governor, I'm aware that this past August Gov. Healey signed updated Shield laws protecting gender affirming healthcare in Massachusetts. Jordina Shanks, the CEO of Fenway Health herself, said these protections are quote, "a landmark victory for health care, human dignity... and that Massachusetts stands as a national beacon of equity and compassion." I am in complete and utter disgust, yet unsurprised, that a leading institution in gender affirming healthcare is capitulating to federal threats that are not law, and acting in direct opposition to the city of Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This is a deep betrayal of their transgender patients. I urge Gov. Healey to bring all powers of the state to investigate and reverse this gross over-compliance on the part of Fenway Health.

Saw a post that said something like "if you're only using your self-awareness to bully yourself, you're doing it wrong" and it's like great, something else to realize I suck at 👍

I'm not appealing to your virtue.

I'm not begging you to accommodate some kind of delusional phobia.

I'm not putting this damn thing on my face because I feel like it.

I am somebody's child, somebody's spouse, somebody's parent--and I won't cringe and waffle about protecting them.

I wake up and I have to imagine us the Swiss Family Robinson. Maybe the LOST IN SPACE crew. I pretend us on a big adventure, I find little parties and milestones, because you can't tell the kids there's no hope, right? But also oh my god where do we go from here?

editor: you get those anti-Quaker plates made up for the press?

engraver: sure did boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked.

Photo of an image of a woodcut print from the mid 1600s in the book from the post I'm quoting. Caption reads: "This hostile image of the early radical Quakers, depicted 'going naked for a sign,' emphasized their antinomian disdain for the law. They were 'above ordinances.'"

The image shows a lawman to the right in his fancy pants with a sword and a hat. In the center top of the image is a sign that reads "Above Ordinances." To the left are four naked folks, men and women, marching around and maybe shouting a little bit. It's fine, they're fine.

If you’re looking to help rebuild Gaza a farmer and a civil engineer seems like a good person to help ❤️

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohammed. Mohammed was finishing his studies to be a civil engineer in Rafah. His home and the small farm that him and his family had were destroyed. He’s now trying to survive with his large family, including many small children, in tents.

If you need a consistently replenished outside source of power to keep your will to live activated, I couldn't more strongly recommend becoming an Oz Perkins fan.

I just think something really important that we've lost, culturally and spiritually, is understanding that THE WICKER MAN (1973) is first and foremost a musical.
