This is a total shit show - these assholes are trying to strip away basic protections that help us trans folks get the damn healthcare we need to survive. By attacking disability rights laws, they're basically telling us trans people "fuck your medical needs" and trying to make it legal to deny our care and kick us out of jobs. It's a cruel political move that could really fuck up many of our lives.

Most of the tactics being used by the MAGAts is rooted in white supremacy which then leads to things like transphobia, bigotry and so on. Transgender people are the flavor of the month for the white supremacists to attack because we challenge nearly every ideology they hold dear.

That's exactly right. It's been an onslaught but it's not over. Trump is like the air war campaign. Red State legislatures are the ground troops that are going out and picking up our dead and shooting the wounded

I see you have my state attorney down on that list and that's well deserved. They are putting in the final details locally to eliminate transgender everything. I do have a question regarding gender dysphoria. There is a diagnosis available still in the DSM-5 that requires interaction with a healthcare professional to determine. I don't think most transgender people have that diagnosis even though that may be there situation. Is that a differentiator? I don't think so. I would appreciate your opinion from a legal standpoint.

The diagnosis of gender dysphoria by WPATH standards of care is still required to receive most gender affirming care, but not all. I personally don't think having gender dysphoria constitutes having a disability in any way, but the Biden administration made it that way to make sure trans people were protected from discrimination.

I sent you a link that I think you might find irrelevant from your cyber security perspective. Involves a young man from Lincoln Nebraska who's one of the Doge nerds. It's from an independent news platform that were fortunate to have here in the state. Hopefully you'll find it relevant I just thought I would toss this your way as a way just to supporting your channel
