Seeing so many hospitals capitulate on trans youth care means that if Trump does a similar executive order for adult care, most trans people could immediately lose access. It doesn't matter if it's unlawful if these cowardly clinics cave to these bastards.

This whole "It's just a distraction" line of thinking needs to die. They are genocidal bastards hellbent on eradicating the trans community. It's not a god damn distraction. This is what they stand for and you're running cover for it by minimizing it.
