there's no progress to make. there's nothing stopping NY/NYC from standing with trans people. they have the power to do it & are choosing not to: collaborator shit. there's no defending it. it's obviously illegal as fuck to let cis people break the law just bc the victims are trans, or is that cool?

Call me a dirty socialist if you want, but I think every living being should have access a healthcare safety net regardless of how much they work, go to school, etc. Every single person. It's ridiculous that people need to reach certain "requirements" in order to have a chance at healthcare.
