Once again, the right is openly admitting that the entire focus on trans youth is to ultimately ban all gender affirming care for adults. All the credulous reporters and institutions that helped launder this right wing project are responsible. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is what Trump meant by saying the war was "very complete, pretty much." All that's left is the commitment of ground troops and the global repercussions, so probably just a day or two more, right?

Casey Means’ Surgeon General confirmation hearing is tomorrow. Means holds a number of extremely disturbing views, including that hormonal birth control is “disrespect for life”. She isn’t a “fringe” or “alternative” healthcare provider. She is a person who blithely ignores scientific facts.

The Trump administration is attempting to force a new term for gender affirming care to call it "sex rejecting procedures." This term was literally made up this year by the far right group Ethics and Public Policy Center in a comment submitted in April 2025. It is now being used widely by HHS.
Screenshot of an Ethics & Public Policy Center (EPPC) webpage with the headline, “EPPC Scholars Submit Comment Supporting HHS’s Proposed Removal of Sex-Rejecting Procedures from Essential Health Benefits.” Below the headline is a graphic labeled “Engagement on Agency Actions,” showing a stack of books and a hand holding a pen. Publication date reads April 11, 2025.
