Republicans: *spend years attacking trans people and their very existence*
Also Republicans: we swear these amendments just have the best interest of trans people in mind.
You’ll forgive us for not believing that for one goddamn second.

Bless @BriannaForCO for repeatedly coming to the well to try and educate her colleagues about what gender affirming care actually looks like and to challenge the transphobic nonsense coming from the House Republicans. #coleg
My favorite thing is when Republicans are talking about abortion care or, in this case gender affirming care, and say “I’m no scientist but…” and then use a bunch of scientifically and medically incorrect nonsense as justification to restrict it.
The absolutely abhorrent anti-trans rhetoric coming from members of the Colorado GOP this morning breaks my heart. People with such hatred in their hearts have no business making laws. #TransDayOfVisibility#coleg
@davidbix@ErinInTheMorn I was there and I’m still not sure what his point was. It was word salad nonsense and everyone in the room is dumber for having listened to it.
My testimony today in favor of SB188 in Colorado, which makes it a "safe state" for people fleeing anti-trans legislation and getting their care out of state.
Some antis asked "why this was needed."
I highlighted the unique aspects in which this care is targeted.
Pass SB188!
In Idaho you can't donate organs from someone who died w/o their prior consent—but Idaho's new abortion bill would force an 11-year-old rape victim to have her rapists child w/o her consent.
In short, even a corpse in Idaho has more rights over its body than do women & girls.😳
