Huh kind of nice to like something for a change. If this keeps up I might be cautiously optimistic
a direct gender-affirming care access fund, a call and text line that will connect trans New Yorkers to available resources to receive care, and more funding for research on LGBTQ+ healthcare.
Millions for the direct care fund could be life changing for any income struggling trans people
So far, I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Sewer socialism is the compromise.
Sewer socialism
Sewer socialism is what this country fucking needs. Sustainability requires more people living in dense cities but most cities in the US fucking suck, I lived in Denver CO for a few years and it was disgusting. All the parks were filled with trash, all the public transit was over crowded, trash service was inconsistent. Also I get reactionaries like demonizing the unhoused but I think we should be honest about the fact that living in a city with a big unhoused population is very unpleasant, it’s not nice having to see people with clear mental health and substance abuse issues all over the sidewalk every time you go to grab a six pack from the corner store.
More leftist candidates could win just by running on forming some kind of “urban beautification corps” where they pay 20 somethings to clean shit up and build homeless shelters and other stuff so people don’t have to see fucking McDonalds bags full of puke every time they walk their dog.
It doesn’t provide care for anyone under 19…
Yeah, this sets a horrible precedent. Someone progressive accepting the position of trans youth can’t get HRT will have long term effects.
Why 19? Cause some high schools have 18 year olds or something?
Foot in the door to salami slice away trans rights for legal adults, as well as the concept that a legal adult has body autonomy and self-determination in general.
Capitulation to the Trump EO.
There was a 19 year-old and a 20 year-old in my graduating class.
they are denying care to anyone under 19 right?
Yes, this was the case last i looked
I’ve heard all the critiques of this guy and while a lot of them are valid, he’s actually been pretty god damn strong out the gate in terms of actually addressing material conditions and while people should continue to critique him when he says or does anything stupid I gotta say I am impressed so far.
It’s a telephone line and “research” (wtf does that even mean, what exactly is being researched?). 15 mill if distributed for surgeries would be like 300 trans people getting help. Better than nothing but I really question the resource allocation here, 15 mill would be better spent on housing for homeless trans people as that is a permanent investment in helping poor trans people, not something that will ultimately just give money to telephone operators and doctors.
Electoralism is a dead end in terms of actually changing anything, but it’s nice to see the Democrats finally become so discredited that actual socialists are winning elections and throwing their political capital around to help people
Lol I just wrote almost this exact comment in another thread.
WITNESS THE POWER OF SHAKIRA LAW
WITNESS THE POWER OF NAAN BREAD
is this different from the clinic that was obeying trumps stupid EO and denying care to minors?
Zohran takes another W
