I am not concerned about answering your emails. I am concerned about them providing care to trans people of all ages, which they are doing. Our public hospital system already offers puberty blockers to minors, which is something that seems completely left out of your reporting?

Just because they have not answered your emails doesn’t mean you should assume the worst about the most prominent socialist elected official in the country? Bizarre for you to not see that.

He has not passed a budget yet because he has been in office for only six months. There is not a budget item to point to. That is also why you all spinning a narrative of betrayal is needless alarmism

Zohran is describing $15 million is his city budget, which has not yet passed. He has not passed a budget since taking office because he’s only been in office six months.

Unfortunately this is just incorrect. The clinic does not cost $15 million, the $15 million is completely separate funding that will be used for youth care. A lot of posters on bluesky including @katelynburns.com @erininthemorning.com and @esqueer.net are spreading false alarmism

The cynicism and eagerness to dunk on the socialist mayor of the largest city in the country from some trans journalists is enough to make you wonder if they actually want him to succeed

One quote about one clinic is being used to undermine years of organizing to elect a antizionist, pro trans rights, socialist mayor of the biggest city in the country. We are going to deliver socialism in the United States and that includes publicly funded gender affirming care for all. Join DSA.

Zohran just opened a publicly funded gender affirming care clinic for adults, which is something to be celebrated. As he said in an interview this week, there is separate money in his city budget for youth care that is not subject to federal restrictions.

As one of the people that led the rallies outside of Langone last January and April, including the one that Zohran was at, this is needlessly alarmist at best.

Fine if you want to repeat this but the obvious thing left unsaid here is that people don’t believe Democrats mean what they say either. The erosion of political reality required liberal collaboration and Democrats have happily gone along with everything that brought us here

Always amazed by the grace that liberals will extend to people with massive power. It’s not Chuck Schumers fault! He’s only been one of the most powerful people on the planet for a decade now.

Not an expert but it’s probably true that they drive down wages some but the underlying issue is labor rights. It’s why tech CEOs love them and it makes organizing the industry much much harder

Ultimately Democrats vulnerability on trans rights has nothing to do with trans rights. What people hear is that Democrats care more about trans rights than their own concerns, a message that would have zero traction if they felt Democrats genuinely did care about their own concerns

I think this is because a central trick of reactionary/fascist politics is to invert the realities of power. Even if reactionaries gain power, maintenance of it requires escalation of that inversion to construct a world where miseries of capitalism are blamed on Hamas, wokeness, whatever

at the end of the day I think left wing politics requires optimism and doomerism from liberals about "it's horrifying that so many people hate you" is actually kind of infuriating. people love me actually they just hate your lib politics!

You are simply not going to convince me that half the country wants to murder trans people or whatever when Zohran goes and talks to them on the street and they are like “I can’t afford groceries” or they talk about the actual murders in Gaza we are all watching every day on our phones

It’s worth emphasizing that even bad websites for public services are the result of privatization. NY State has almost no full time tech staff to work on UI. CUNY spent $600 million (!!) on a custom software system from Oracle that everyone hated pscbc.blogspot.com/2013/03/cuny...

it's been the case for a while now that one of the most vocally transphobic segments of American (and British) society is actually elite liberals and Seth Moulton is no exception. trans people are simply an inconvenient speed bump in his career aspirations
