“Hegseth” should be an actual term we adopt in the dictionary for the state of feeling like your boss is severely less competent than you.

Had the honor of sitting down with Robyn Vincent, of The Metro, to talk about the University of Michigan’s shameful decision to end health care for trans young people and their families. This was the final segment—one that I hope serves has a call to Michiganders to wake up before it’s too late.

In case folks had any doubts about the fate of Michigan House R’s trans discrimination bill. Read the message Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks had for the children’s table (Matt Hall’s caucus). Moving on. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

There is no ethical or fair way for a journalist to present the Trump administration’s or Republican’s perspectives on trans people and/or the health care we receive. It is dangerous sensationalism that has no place in good, responsible journalism.

🚨 The Senate parliamentarian just disqualified a bunch of provisions from the GOP bill — including Medicaid provider tax language, funding restrictions based on immigration status, spread pricing and one prohibition on gender-affirming care. List via a Democratic budget aide:

I co-authored this Free Press op-ed 11 months ago, in the wake of the attempted assassination on Trump’s life. That week, MAGA’s propaganda machine came out firing about their victimhood and nobody in the mainstream media was holding them to account for the havoc they’ve brought to our country, 1/9

Conservatives (extremists) flew five paid actors from around the U.S. into Plymouth, Michigan two weeks ago to attack the school board, the community, and very specifically, transgender students. Last night, Equality Michigan and PFLAG Plymouth-Canton responded.

A good rubric for any given piece of media about "transgender issues" is asking yourself how well the author answered the question "What about the trans people?" It seems so stupidly obvious but you'll quickly notice how discourse ostensibly about us generally avoids the consequences we face

Remarkable and important write up on Bridget LaKyra-Jean Butts and all her brilliant work. So well told by @ellenshanna.bsky.social and some insightful info provided by Kristi Gamarel. More stories like this need to be told at such a vital time for the trans community.

After MI House Rs passed a trans sports ban yesterday, an R staffer mistook me for another woman while I was waiting at the elevator. I quipped, “I hope you mistook me for someone fashionable.” Case in point. They don’t know who is trans and who isn’t. These bills will hurt all girls in our state.

I hope @mlive.com covering a detransition story means they will cover 102 stories of trans individuals who transitioned and are happily living their lives. Anything less is a blatant and glaring inequity in their coverage of this issue.

There is so much irony in trying to take away trans women and girls bodily autonomy while simultaneously defining us as men. We don’t police men’s health care decisions in this country. WARNING: Cyclical formula!

More of this please

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday told hospitals that they would be violating state law if they comply with an executive order from President Donald Trump aimed at curtailing federal funding for gender-affirming care treatment for young people.

In a letter, James told health care facilities that refusing to provide the treatments would violate New York’s anti-discrimination laws.

“Regardless of the availability of federal funding, we write to further remind you of your obligations to comply with New York State laws,” her letter reads.
