Montana Dem Sam Forstag just refused to throw trans people under the bus in the MT-01 debate: “Keep politics the heck out of it.” He said government has no business in sports or telling parents what to do. It’s the most competitive House race in the country. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The Democratic candidate accused his republican opponent Aaron Flint supporting people who would “pick our pocket” by distracting voters with anti-transgender attacks.

Two months ago I reported on Amy Acton’s anti-trans turn and fears Dems would go the way of Labour. Some mocked me for it. Now that list is up to 28 major dem elected officials and entire state governments.

Imagine being a 16 or 17-yo trans kid on puberty blockers having Medicaid end your care and being forced into a late puberty, all because of Democrats. This is life-ruining torture of children, coing from the "good guys."

Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth. Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockers—despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month ‘tapering’ period. This is a complete betrayal.

Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage. WTF.
Ironically, the first known violation of that law is now coming from the state itself. On September 18th, the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) informed providers that “certain Physician-Administered Drug (PAD) services for the purposes of gender-affirming care will no longer be covered benefits for members under 18 years of age.” Two weeks later, HCPF released its full policy surrounding its updated coverage, and it somehow manages to be worse than the policies enacted by Arizona and Virginia. As Transitics reported last week, the federal rule allows for a 6-month ‘tapering’ period for youth currently receiving gender-affirming care where federal funds can still be used. And although HCPF does mention that stipulation in its policy, it also introduced a strange exception:

“Effective October 13, 2026, claims payment for GnRH/LHRH agents prescribed for gender-affirming care therapy for members under the age of 18 will not be allowed… Prior authorization for testosterone, estrogen, progesterone or medroxyprogesterone therapy for members under the age of 18,” the policy reads, “who are receiving and stabilized on therapy for gender-affirming care prior to October 13, 2026, may receive approval to allow for tapering and discontinuation of therapy.”

The exclusion of puberty blockers in the tapering policy isn’t accidental. The state’s prior authorization guidance that was updated the same day mirrors the policy and once again does not allow for a tapering period for trans kids receiving puberty blockers. And like Arizona and Virginia, Colorado has provided no indication that it has notified patients and their families. In doing so, Colorado is going far beyond what even the Trump administration intended—immediately cutting many trans kids’ care and leaving them scrambling for options.

Add another Democratic candidate who has taken an anti-trans stance this campaign. Virtually everyone missed this one. Adam Hamilton's US senate campaign in Kansas called transgender girls "boys," opposed athletics, and was in favor of a surgery ban. Haven't seen this one reported anywhere yet.
Democratic response is fractured
Although the Republican attacks are unified, Democrats’ responses are not.

Some candidates have publicly distanced themselves from Republicans’ most extreme accusations. Turek in Iowa and Talarico in Texas both said they oppose gender affirming surgeries for minors, without arguing for a broad ban on medical treatment. 

Tyson Brody, a spokesperson for Hamilton’s campaign in Kansas, said Hamilton does not think girls should “compete against boys” in sports and that gender affirming surgeries shouldn’t be performed on children.

This semester I taught kids about the Aztecs and how they would ritually kill people to perpetuate their society. I called it "ritual killing," not "human sacrifice," because most societies do it and the other term implies the Aztecs were somehow unusual in this. This is how *we* do ritual killing.

A Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans. The court reversed a conviction, stating that the killer could have a new trial because the jury did not know the woman killed was trans. Trans panic in the modern era.

Killing of Woman May Have Been Justifiable Because She Was Trans, Tennessee Court Rules
The case is a bitter reminder of the ways LGBTQ people have had their identities weaponized by the courts in the past, most notoriously through a legal defense tactic known as gay or trans “panic.”

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.
