Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage. WTF.

Ironically, the first known violation of that law is now coming from the state itself. On September 18th, the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) informed providers that “certain Physician-Administered Drug (PAD) services for the purposes of gender-affirming care will no longer be covered benefits for members under 18 years of age.” Two weeks later, HCPF released its full policy surrounding its updated coverage, and it somehow manages to be worse than the policies enacted by Arizona and Virginia. As Transitics reported last week, the federal rule allows for a 6-month ‘tapering’ period for youth currently receiving gender-affirming care where federal funds can still be used. And although HCPF does mention that stipulation in its policy, it also introduced a strange exception:

“Effective October 13, 2026, claims payment for GnRH/LHRH agents prescribed for gender-affirming care therapy for members under the age of 18 will not be allowed… Prior authorization for testosterone, estrogen, progesterone or medroxyprogesterone therapy for members under the age of 18,” the policy reads, “who are receiving and stabilized on therapy for gender-affirming care prior to October 13, 2026, may receive approval to allow for tapering and discontinuation of therapy.”

The exclusion of puberty blockers in the tapering policy isn’t accidental. The state’s prior authorization guidance that was updated the same day mirrors the policy and once again does not allow for a tapering period for trans kids receiving puberty blockers. And like Arizona and Virginia, Colorado has provided no indication that it has notified patients and their families. In doing so, Colorado is going far beyond what even the Trump administration intended—immediately cutting many trans kids’ care and leaving them scrambling for options.

tired of this conspiracy. the chips are being used on AI hardware and that hardware is useless for stuff like gaming. even if anyone was trying to rent you normal hardware as an alternative to buying it right now, they'd have to deal with the same scarcity everyone else is. there is no plan.

Am I wrong for throwing an "UnWedding"
Join
44m single and childless and I have an idea for something I want to do next year. I've only shared it with one person who immediately flew off the handle.
Context: At 44 l've been in at least 8 weddings, I've been to countless engagements parties, bridal showers, weddings, gender reveals, baby showers, kids birthdays and more. I've sponsored my people's kids in their jogathons, school fundraiser, etc.
Resolution: I want to throw a "Fun Uncle Shower,"
"Single Life Soirée" the "UnWedding" of the century. I want to create a registry and send invites to anyone who I have ever attended or funded the above events for. My take, if I took 3 days out of work, rented a tux, flew across the country, and bought you a breadmaker, I think you could throw $50 my way or buy me a Starbucks gift card. To be clear it's not just about the money. It's about single people being asked time and time again to hand over their time and money because two people are having intercourse regularly. Single people often pay all their own bills, and have less disposable income, but get guilted into traveling to see people with kids because "it's easier", they get ostracized from friend groups for not being a couple or parent, until their kid is selling wrapping paper. It's time to take a stand. 45, single, no kids? You get a cuarenta y cinceñera. AITA??

mass email from me when i transitioned. the body of the email reads-
"about 15 years ago i sent out a mass email stating that i had used the Troy Aikman quarterback rating system to decide that the right choice was to switch email providers from Aol to Comcast. using the same system i'm pleased to announce that the Troy Aikman quarterback ratings system has given me the clarity to go ahead and switch genders.
i'm available to anyone by phone that would like to crunch the numbers. thanks eveyrbody and sorry for the mass email! and thanks Troy Aikman!"

I think a factor that people intentionally refuse to consider is that a person with a decade-old account on twitter has probably built themselves sufficient insulation that they don't see the worst of the worst, whereas a new user's feed is 100% just Grok and Elon inventing new kinds of sex crimes

The Detroit Free Press allowed readers to submit their verdict on who won the debate between Dr. Abdul El Sayed and Mike Rogers— but the only two people who said Rogers won decided to include anti Arab slurs in their letters in addition to abject lies. So the DFP refused to publish them.
