They have banned trans people from service in the military, going against the advice of military generals, medical experts, budget analysts, a bipartisan consensus of the U.S. House, and the vast majority of the American people.https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/dominicholden/trump-trans-military-ban-takes-effect …

They have proposed regulations through HHS that would allow medical providers to deny even lifesaving care to trans people and other LGBTQ folks. Not transition care but ALL care. Heart attack? Broken arm? They can refuse to treat us.https://www.hrc.org/blog/trump-pence-admin-allows-medical-providers-to-deny-care-to-lgbtq-people …

This week, they're proposed allowing federally-funded shelters to turn away transgender people living on the streets. There is no rationale for this since trans people, esp. young trans people of color, are most vulnerable homelessness and violence.https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/dominicholden/homeless-shelters-transgendger-rule-trump …

And all of this continues to move forward amid news last fall that Trump and Pence are considering a universal regulation that would erase trans people from consideration or acknowledgment by the federal government. This is real. This is happening.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/21/us/politics/transgender-trump-administration-sex-definition.html …

This is an all-out attack on not only the rights of trans people but our very existence in the public square. Trump and Pence don't just want to erase us. They want to see us die. That is not hyperbole. They are trying to dehumanize us and normalize our deaths.

Never have transgender people been under greater threat than under Donald Trump and Mike Pence. We need the public to wake up and fight back alongside us before it's too late. Consider this the five-alarm call. They are coming after us.

We have a lot to do, but this is what we need you to do right now: submit a public comment to http://protecttranshealth.org -- the more public comments against, the least justification HHS has to strip protections and deny medical care to trans people. Please do this now. /thread

I greatly appreciate the active empathy of allies, and I say this kindness: we need you to be self-sufficient in your advocacy. We need you to do the labor and research without hand-holding. We do not have the emotional bandwidth to make you feel better about all this.

Done. This behavior is disgusting by this administration. Thank you for amplifying the gross, inhumane decisions that the current resident of the White House makes. Sadly, his supporters never seem to care. That doesn’t mean we stop trying to right the wrongs.
