The move follows passage of the NDAA in the House of Representatives, which will be the first national anti-trans law in recent years.
Some excerpts:
In total, 37 Democrats, 46 Republicans, and three Independents voted in favor of the bill.
Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) led efforts to remove the anti-trans language from the NDAA by introducing Amendment 3332, which aimed to strike the discriminatory provisions. The amendment garnered support from 24 of her Senate colleagues. However, Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) at some point requested the amendment be withdrawn, opting not to bring it to a vote unless certain of its passage.
Addendum:
Great work transgender NGO, a third of your trans equality champions are restricting transition. Lol.
Trans libs are genuinely so ass
Death to every transphobe.
Sure, plenty of people will die, but at least the normies will be slightly more comfortable.
Go ahead, US government, keep giving people more reasons to be frustrated by the healthcare system in this country. Let's see how well this works out for you.
Sigh. I hold very little, if any sympathy for the dogs of American empire, even if they're trans, but this is still terrible to see
I'm going to shove this in the face of the trans libs I know
this may apply to the dogs of american empire, but it also applies to their kids
i fucking hate this country so god damn muchYeah, we always gotta keep in mind. The dogs of the Yankee Reich tend to be so rabid precisely because they are shielded from 90% of its oppression. Statistically speaking, the ones most affected by these types of policies are the ones who never did anything to support the imperialists (including voting for them or defending them).

The major orgs kind of said Michigan "wasn't in their time line" from what I remember in activist calls with Dana Nessel (who is now our AG) They initially denied help with DeBoer va Snyder for the Same Sex marraige recognition. It was grassroots that forced the issue and funded it up to the point the DC crowd couldn't ignore it.
You might find this case study interesting reading.

The GoFundMe page is still up. Obviously not acepting donations but you can read the notes history.
But it was because of this I stopped giving to the HRC and learned how that stuff really operates.
I also want to add this is part of a new Lavender Scare to compliment the 3rd Red Scare we find ourselves in - a Red Scare that was started by thr Democrsts in 2016 with this whole RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA bullcrap.
The fact that online newspapers & shit don't show a list of names who voted which way is in itself a condemnation of our media sphere.
Hillary Schloten MI-3's campaign priorites page has all kinds of feel goody platitudes about how no one should be denied care.
Yes thank you.
However, I meant not exactly in this instance, but more generally. Like I read so many articles about vote counts, but seemingly never name names.
oh
that was my plan
🤦
