cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by the trump-kennedy center than the fact that congress said a second time in 2 days, “no, really this kind of child’s healthcare should be banned & criminalized” & 46/47 non-GOP senators won’t commit to “i will oppose this.”

hi, cis folks!
today, congress votes on 2 bills —HR498 & HR3492—one bans medicaid funds for providers of trans youth care; the other criminalizes that care, imposing penalties including jail.
either one passing destroys lives. we need you to call & tell your rep to vote no.

Personal take but if the technological option is to "interact with agents from our friends" then I'm going back to handwritten letters. Communicating electronically is one thing but it sounds a nightmare to talk to an interpretation layer between my friends' words and I.
Agreed. We won't be downloading "apps" anymore. We'll be adding datasources for our Personal Agent to sync, or having our agent interact with agents from our friends/family/coworkers or even from third-party companies and orgs. All apps and UIs will be generated on the fly for the task at hand.

Being openly trans is so cool, you'll make the world a better place for other trans people just by existing
To all the late transitioners out there:
Thank you for helping to normalize late-in-life transition.
Your openness took away so much of my fear, allowing me to finally see my own transition as a valid and hopeful possibility.

Tucked inside the Republican bill for health care subsidies, a clause that would restrict the money from being used for abortion (with exception for rape, incest or life of the mother) or for "any sex trait modification procedure or service."

Yeah lol, my mom is a psychiatrist and she's sometimes said, *even* if you wanted to understand "being trans" as a mental illness, the "treatment" of transition would be, like, amazing. Pretty much miracle-level, we don't have any mental health treatments that good
