Was absolutely lovely (/s) to have a conversation with my doctor today about what my options would be if they do that. Government so small that it fits in my doctors office. I’ve been on HRT since Obama was in office.
Ive been on hrt since 2016, so same. I’ve been stocking up on my estrogen (also switching to injections and lowering my spiro dose, which the higher dose turned out to be needless since my lower dose keeps my T down super low) so that I can at least have that for a year or more. Then there’s DIY. Such lovely conversations to have about losing care because the government doesn’t want us to exist.
I dunno about that, they’ve gotten rid of several anti-trans riders in the past couple of bills, including removing them from the BBB. The Dems in the Senate have almost always unanimously voted against anti trans stuff. Occasionally you’ll get a couple of defectors but usually not.
The thing to understand is that Democrats will throw basically any group under the bus if they can claim they are helping the majority… and that said majority don’t care too much.
This country hates the existence of trans people. Or, to be more specific, the majority believe “You live your life just don’t tell me about it” while secretly insisting that the only reason Little Jimmy isn’t going to be a pro football player and have CTE for his entire life is because Sally has the option to transition if she/he chooses to.
I don’t think we’ll have ALL of the anti-trans shit in the budget that eventually passes (if one does…). But you can bet that schumer et al will be glad to sign off on it if “most of the deal is good”. Which… arguably IS the will of The People but The People are fucking monsters.
I imagine one of her stipulations would be to ban all trans healthcare.

Gavin Newson liked this.
Won’t be a deal breaker for the Dems.
