I'm really glad the anti-trans Medicaid exclusions were removed from Trump's billionaire bailout but a bill that still kicks 20 million (largely working class) people off their health insurance is still going to have a disastrous impact including and especially on trans people. Kill the bill.

bad news for Mamdani: i just imagined him shooting at my feet with two revolvers while shouting "dance! dance, ya varmint, dance!!" and then cackling so maniacally that his cowboy hat falls off. When will he go on TV to apologize for doing this

NYTimes is coming out in full force against the LGBTQ community.

Returning to their roots! They only pretended to accept queer people for a few years when it was considered vogue and hip.

one of the most insane normalized aspects of our political climate is politicians going after their own constituents in the name of anti-wokeness. what are we doing here

T is a controlled substance so if you get it illegally you could go to jail which is why it's harder to do DIY for it :/

Easier to order e afaik but it mostly comes in powder form, which means whoever is ordering needs to be able to make it safely on their own

Most grey market sites are so slammed with demand rn that it’s basically impossible to get an order filled for at least testosterone ime

If there is no DIY HRT where you live, tell your provider you're going up on your dosage (e.g. if you inject .3, say you want to move up to .4) but then keep injecting the same amt, allowing you to stockpile extra in case of emergency

With cruel work requirements threatening to strip millions of Medicaid, I joined Death Panel to talk about the rise of the "working homeless"β€”and how policy violence, disguised as reform, masks a brutal truth: in America, grinding labor doesn't guarantee even the bare essentials of survival.
