The picket lines, the neon pink-and-green signs in the style of ACT UP, the confrontations with municipal, medical, and movement leaders—it’s evocative of Pride protests past, and provocative as Trumpian threats put institutional backbones to the test in the city widely regarded as the birthplace of the LGBTQ liberation movement as we know it today.>At the behest of the Trump regime, hospitals across the city, state, and country have been pausing or sunsetting back gender-affirming care for trans people—including, in some cases, legal adults. This is even true in Democratic strongholds like NYC, where, despite a mayor who ran a campaign on preserving trans health care rights, a governor who signed a trans “safe haven” bill package years ago, and a state Attorney General who said in no uncertain terms that dismantling trans youth’s access to care is against the law, major hospital systems are capitulating to threats of federal funding cuts and litigation by rolling back care.>So, ahead of the annual Pride Parade this year, many activists in the trans community were understandably put off to see the names and logos of those very same health care systems on the bill. The Gender Liberation Movement (GLM) decided to do something about it.>The direct action and advocacy group published an open letter earlier this week with 20 current and former parade marshals among the signatories, as well as other LGBTQ leaders, families of trans kids, and national organizations such as the Campaign for Southern Equality and the Genders & Sexualities Alliance Network. Then, on Wednesday, GLM rallied nearly 100 people across three hospitals to picket and protest restrictions on care.
So far Madani has only paid lip service to the LGBT. I don't know what the hype is about him.
stop tolerating faith (and the sick obey-in-advance policy it begets)
>>44035647Retarded berniebros just get hard because he calls himself a socialist while being an average idiot with no actual views that campaigned on the equivalent of promising everyone free ice cream and ponies.
>>44035647not sure what you expect him to do about american legislation
>>44034650I don’t know how many “at least we aren’t britian”’s i can do.
>>44037264still love mamdani, sorry
>>44037275>I was just following orders
>>44034650If you force him on that issue it'll just paint a target on his back from the Trumptards and get the feds involved. It would be better to get trans youth on DIY and ask the authorities locally to turn a blind eye, rather than to actively endorse it publicly. Trannies are better at giving their own kind HRT advice, anyway
>>44038399I agree that DIY is better than nothing, but in NY bloodwork is prohibitively expensive out of pocket without a doctor billing it to insurance. It's worth making a stink over it so the next democrat president fixes it.
