1. Meta’s policy bans allegations of mental illness *unless* the person is LGBTQ, in which case you can falsely say the person is mentally ill:
(The policy uses the word “transgenderism,” echoing right wing terminology.)
The New York Health Act would guarantee free healthcare to every New Yorker at the point of service. No copays, no premiums, no deductibles.
Has 34 cosponsors in the Senate, where it needs 32 votes to pass.
Has 78 cosponsors in the Assembly, where it needs 76 votes to pass.
It's time to pass the New York Health Act.
New York and Canada both have $2 trillion economies.
Canada is able to provide universal healthcare to 40 million Canadians. There is no reason we can't do the same for 20 million New Yorkers.
@PurityStar36 Also my before & after photos are like, dafuq...so you can't count yourself out!!
However I totally understand the impulse to not risk all the pain and suffering, which there will absolutely be. It doesn't make you less valid and it doesn't make you not matter.
@PurityStar36 ...because not even cis people do. I also think a huge part of the trans journey and also the human condition in general is learning to love who you are and what you've been given, to the point of barely caring how people judge you anymore.
@PurityStar36 I started at 33. I'm 43 now and while the world is super fucking scary right now, I can't imagine having not done it. There's a lot of effort and money and luck that goes into seeing what you want to see in the mirror and you absolutely will never get 100% there because...
@bennjordan@chensonmusic I don't want Christian ousted and I agree that more transparent communication could fix this. I often must take a hard political stance since so many in society lobby for me not to exist, however that's not the world I want to live in. I aspire to dialog and mutual understanding.
@bennjordan@chensonmusic I'm sad to see this go in this direction. I'm a full-time trans musician with thousands invested in Spitfire. While I'm relieved that others in the company must be standing firm in their beliefs for it to come to this, I wish it didn't have to come to this.
It's been a big month for Wormhole releases!
