1. Yesterday, in an interview with Sunday Morning Futures, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville falsely claimed that "entire teams are turning transgender." It is the latest in a series of wild claims by Republicans about transgender people. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Sometimes wish I could join her. More would be relieved than hurt. Those hurt would no longer be being hurt by others to spite me. I’m just tired, it is all too much. I’ve lost too much, feel too much, battling too much…I’ve done it all for them and if it’s not doing them good, why keep doing it…

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper... But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

1. A new Texas bill outright criminalizes being transgender as felony fraud. It is one of the most alarming bills that I have ever seen. Though it stands little chance of passage, its rationale is already being used in other places and by the trump admin. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING
Dear TRUE Patient-Family,
 
Today, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser announced that Colorado will be joining a lawsuit filed last week in a federal court in Washington state. A federal judge in that case entered an order on Feb. 14 stopping federal agencies from enforcing the executive order’s ban on gender-affirming care for patients under 19 years of age.
 
Based on the federal court in Washington agreeing to add Colorado to the coverage of this lawsuit, we believe the temporary restraining order and any subsequent legal filings in this case will allow Children’s Hospital Colorado to resume gender-affirming medical care, including puberty-blocking and hormone-based medical care. We plan to begin offering this medical care again starting on Monday, Feb. 24.

It wouldn’t let me add the whole message. Here is the rest

What does this mean for you?
     · If you are an established patient with an active prescription, you do not need to schedule a follow-up any sooner than recommended at your last visit. Please use the refills that were provided.
    · If you are a new patient who cancelled your medical visit and you would like to schedule a new appointment, please call 720-777-8783.
   · If you have an intake or medical visit scheduled, please keep your appointment and know that we will return to our previous model of gender-affirming medical care.

We recognize that the changes to the TRUE Center care model have been very challenging for patients and families. We continue to believe that families know what is best for their child, and every family should have the right to receive the expert medical care that their child or adolescent needs to thrive. Because the executive order interferes with those decisions and denies the families of gender diverse children the same rights as other families, we welcome the attorney general’s efforts to fight for their equal rights under the law.

Like other hospitals across the country, we will continue to monitor the evolving …
