All trans healthcare? Does that mean all transition-related care? Or all healthcare to trans people?
My moneys on both

All trans healthcare? Does that mean all transition-related care? Or all healthcare to trans people?
My moneys on both
It would bar federal funding from going to any hospital or medical facility that provides gender-affirming care, including HRT. Like a Hyde Amendment for trans healthcare. Basically, no medical facility that wants to take Medicaid or Medicare would be able to provide gender-affirming care. Oh, you’ve got an entire hospital? That’s nice, but you have a single endo who prescribes HRT, so no funding at all for you.

Oh, so it would ban all healthcare as transcare. Got it.
At this point, even the most die-hard republicans should be horribly ashamed by the fact this "man" is even allowed to participate in politics.
Eh, who am I kidding? Few bad apples spoil the bunch, and it‘s already happened worldwide. Trump has become only a symptom of the wretched corruption that is everywhere.
Trump will do a thousand crazy things to deflect from his children rapes. Look here! Look there! Look up! Look down! Look left! What a maroon. A dangerous maroon. (Not a misspelling but a Bugs Bunny reference).
Diabolical sabotage...
How dreadful! For many trans people it'll endanger their lives.
It all reminds me of what was happening in Russia over the decades, just smashed into an impossible timeline. Small steps lead to irrevocable disasters.
Trump isn’t man enough to do it. You won’t do it, pussy!
lets refuse to fund his magic bed
Why so fragile
I feel like it's a misdirection. Like, this isn't what he really wants. This is a ploy to get/do something way, way worse. Or use this to cover up the Epstein files or something. He'll use the shutdown and a hot button topic to get what he sees as a big fish...
Why couldn’t it also be what he really wants? What part of anything happening in the US and anything coming from the right could possibly signal that they don’t want this?
Conservatism is a cancer and fascism is perfectly happy to turn that knob up to 11.
This is fucked demand.
What are the chances he just drops this position?
That's terrible.
Oh no! I guess the ONLY Option is to Ban ALL Transgender Healthcare in American in exchange for NOTHING!
-Chuck Schumer!
yes, but also maybe take the threat against trans people seriously? like, Trump just said he wants to ban trans healthcare. it seems like that should also be a big deal. saying that everything is a distraction from the Epstein files has become a distraction from some serious shit.
Well I guess no more gender affirming surgeries for balding fat loser white guys also then.
CALL HIS FUCKING BLUFF!
LET HIM DO IT AND FAIL OR WITHDRAW AND BE WEAK
Wait I thought you had medbeds for everyone?
Also, dems should demand epstein files be released to prevent a shutdown.
Oh, so when the government shuts down in a day or two, because you’re a piece of shit and no one wants to give you money to continue with being a piece of shit, of course you’re gonna blame trans kids for this
You piece of shit
Let them shut down the government. Keep it shut down. Let's see how long the troops will work for free.
I’m quite confident Schumer will continue to display the backbone of a sea cucumber and capitulate with no meaningful opposition whatsoever.
