there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

The break with establishment journalism and its norms/assumptions, which even too many trans journalists are hesitant to do, has to be across everything from how publications are organized, how labor's done to whose voices we prioritize. Once more: why assimilate into a dying empire?

second: there's stuff NYC mayor mamdani could be doing now to backstop care for all the trans teens cut off by the sudden stoppage. in fact, he campaigned on it. afaik, he hasn't even properly addressed it. you can't call NYC a fucking “refuge" if it's institutions don't provide essential care!🧵
Expand and Protect Gender Affirming Care Citywide
A private institution operating with a quarter-billion dollar public subsidy should not have the ability to sell out young trans New Yorkers to the Trump administration. Yet, that's exactly what happened when NYU Langone decided to stop providing gender-affirming care for trans youth. Soon after, other private NYC hospitals also stopped providing necessary lifesaving healthcare for trans youth. These decisions are in direct contradiction with New York state law. The Mamdani administration will protect gender-affirming care immediately by investing $65 million in public providers to provide gender-affirming care to New Yorkers who seek it and will hold private entities abetting Trump's attacks to account.
The Mamdani Administration will budget $65 million in funding to explicitly support and expand access to Gender Affirming Care (GAC) in NYC. It will direct $57 million of to public hospitals, community clinics, federally qualified health centers, and nonprofits providing GAC. In the face of the Trump administration's proposed elimination of federal support for GAC and his threats to care for adults, this infusion will protect GAC access for both transgender youth and adults. $8 million will be directed to:
• Develop and support virtual and telehealth GAC and delivery of GAC treatment by community health providers
• Add GAC to New York Health + Hospitals VirtualCare.
• Establish a City-based GAC Access Hub to direct those seeking GAC to providers based on their individual situations.
• Provide aftercare, home health support, and respite housing.
• Support health programs like Callen-Lorde Community Health Centers COIN Clinic (Cecilia's Occupational Inclusion Network).
The Mamdani administration will also hold private hospital systems denying GAC accountable — hospitals that continue to deny trans youth access to gender affirming care are in violation of NYS Constitution, as well as multiple state and city laws. The Ma…
