A dark day for trans youth.
Florida Board of Medicine has just voted to ban gender affirming care for all trans teenagers.
They cut the hearing early and told activists to "email them."
I cry for Florida's trans youth. This was a sham hearing with fake experts.

The leader of this hearing told activists "don't worry, you are not going to win" immediately before cutting the vote short.

This was the moment they cut testimony early and told activists to go home.
Activists errupted.
Very few were allowed to speak, only those who were in favor of banning were allowed at first.

They appeared to briefly consider allowing those already on HRT and puberty blockers to continue, but they scrapped that last minute.
They considered adding all trans youth to a Florida registry but will take that up at another time.
This is genocide. It is happening now.

In coming weeks we will need to begin supporting refugees from Florida.
If you are in Florida and need a place to flee, this is my anti-trans legislative risk map. The dark blue-green states are best:
California, Massachusetts, CT have passed explicit refugee protections.

If you are the parent of a trans kid that needs to escape, please reach out to me and I'll signal boost as best I can.
If you're looking for ways to help, please stay tuned and follow my account.
I'll be doing something big in coming weeks to fight back.
