Anti-trans organizations have said that their position against gender affirming care center on “protecting kids.” Now, a Florida judge has allowed them to proceed with their next target: trans adults.
Several weeks ago, a federal judge in Florida halted a ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth, declaring it likely unconstitutional. Yet, transgender adults were also heavily impacted by the law: 80% of gender-affirming care providers for trans adults in the state were forced to stop. Consequently, many found themselves forced to flee the state, temporarily or permanently, in order to access care. Those forced to stay clung to the hope that the provisions targeting them might also be overruled. However, those hopes suffered a setback when the 11th Circuit Court determined that discriminating against transgender individuals in healthcare would be allowed, at least in the short term. Relying on this verdict, the Florida Judge Monday declined to block the sections affecting trans adult care. Now, the precedent has been set for adult care bans, a stark contradiction to some anti-trans activists’ assurances that their sole aim was to “protect children.”
Earlier this year, Florida passed SB254. The bill did not only prohibit gender-affirming care for transgender youth, but also casted stringent requirements for care on trans adults. Specifically, the laws bars nurse practitioners from administering care and mandates that providers distribute inaccurate medical forms, laden with misleading narratives, suggesting treatments are experimental. This was a substantial change, as the vast amount of trans adult care is provided by nurse practitioners. A representative from a clinic in the state, SPEKTRUM Health, estimated that 80% of such care would be affected. Further, the new informed consent form dictates a pre-requisite of “social support” before a trans individual embarks on care, despite many trans adults losing social support from their families after they transition. Though the initial discussion centered on the effect of the bill on trans youth, trans adults across the state suddenly saw their prescriptions dropped by their providers as a result.
Maybe it’s overstated, maybe it’s been said before, but it stays true:
Death to America
my heart goes out to all my fellow trans people trapped under American fascism
Death to Nazis, both new and old.
Tankie not realizing they are part of the new.
If you think communism and fascism are the same then you don’t understand either.
Yeah yeah, “I just sit at the table with nazi’s, it doesnt make me a nazi!”
The famous cry of the piece of shit that doesnt want people to know they are a piece of shit.
Right because communists are famously known for tolerating Nazis. Ask the Red Army how they felt about the Nazis in Berlin back in 1945.
Yeah, Tankies and the red army.
Fought nazi’s in WW2.
Became the nazi’s in 2020.
Thanks for the apt fucking comparison.
Whoa, the red army survived the destruction of the USSR in 1992? I guess comrade Tim Curry had it right after all
Lol what specifically happened in 2020?
Anything can be true when you just make shit the fuck up.
Watch this.
Democrats are literal nazis.
You can tell because I said it
Hey dude theres a fly on your nose. You should try to look directly at it.
Everywhere facism has come, communists have been the first to die fighting it.
Everywhere fascism has come, liberals have thrown the doors wide open for it, hoping to get rid of the communists.
Your entire political orthodoxy is “sitting with nazis for money until they kill you too”
That’s literally what liberals are doing.
Communists are saying we should fight fascists
Liberals are the ones who insist that makes us the same as them.
Liberals are the ones who keep going on about good republicans and swooning over mitt Romney and Liz fucking Cheyney.
Tell me again who’s sitting with nazis and ignoring that fact.
Fascism as an ideology arises as a response to socialism and positions itself in opposition to socialism. They are not at all the same.
The more apt critique is that aside from the GDR for its last few years almost no socialist society has had a good record regarding LGBT+ rights.
Cuba does
Only as of very very very recently.
Did any capitalist countries at the same time have meaningfully better stances on LGBT rights?
when i was looking for chronological comparisons the French apparently decriminalized sodomy in the Revolution, just like the Soviets, but didn’t ever reinstate it lol. in fact the Code Napoleon as it was promulgated to other states also decriminalized sodomy in other parts of europe, notably italy, western germany, and bavaria. germany re-banned it when unified (prussians)
Sone have depending in the time period. At this point you have the most protections in Cuba but you lack enough other rights that it becomes a wash.

Stop doing nazi propaganda.
How quickly they try to co-opt the holocaust and other peoples oppression when they are outed for what they are.
To be clear, you are accusing the mainstream Jewish holocaust expert who wrote the essay of being a tankie?
Youre talking about the OUN holocaust collaborators who invented the idea of the holodomor, right?
It was invented before then by nazi publications?
You think proof I’m talking bullshit is going to change my mind tankie? Think again. I’m on to your pathetic technique of citing scholars who who agree with you even though they don’t share your ideology, so it seems like neutral corroboration. It’s not going to sway me because I’m not going to read it anyway.
Why would i read, when I’m akready right about everything? Checkmate red fash tankie!
You sure do quickly co-opt the Holocaust
“Tankies” are the only people who stand up for the marginalized people in the west, the empty sloganism of “Non-Tankies” have only probed them to be fair-weather friends.
NATO lefties chastising the Marxist left for wanting to temporarily keep a military/police force then hopping to another burner account to ‘reluctantly’ defend a settler state with the worlds second largest armed forces:
Haha yeah, i remember being 15
Accurate username. But at the same time your sense of humor tells me a lot about your actual character/level of maturity.
I agree, death to Holocaust deniers like you.
Yes, because someone that calls for death to nazi’s obviously is a holocaust denier.
Classic tankie logic right there, folks. now quickly run back to hexbear and lemmygrad and cry some more so more of your cohorts come and spew laughable stupidity.
