Camp matters more this year than ever. Her gender affirming care clinic closed in Jan. Camp isn't a luxury for kids like Maeve. It's a lifeline, and scholarships are how most campers get there. Help us send more kids.

My daughter turns 18 next week. 🎂 For her birthday, we’re raising $675 for the Camp Indigo Point Scholarship Fund.

Maeve is a 3-year camper, former CIT, and joining the staff this summer. Camp is one of the only places she feels completely safe as a trans teenager…

Very important thread.

Finally getting some coverage. It has been a long, sad week.

Hoping @erininthemorning.com @katelynburns.com anyone with a platform can help get the word out. Most families I’ve talked to today haven’t been called yet.

We are patients at the Children’s Wisconsin Gender Clinic. Just got the call that they are ‘paused.’ No lab work, no refills, no appointments, no procedures.

My clinic kids are nearly 18. We have the resources to seek other care. Aren’t we lucky? JFC.

As the mom of 17 year old triplets, two of whom are trans and NB, I have never hoped more for a story to be AI slop, for so many reasons.

My husband and I were wrapped around the unending security line at CUN with Rose Byrne, Bobby Canavale, and their adorable young children. The looked absolutely family-vacationed out, we were pulling for them.

Energy I’m taking into 2026.

This tracks.

THIS, please. We need you, allies.

FDA Threatens Companies Selling Binders — Assigned The FDA sent twelve businesses threatening letters on Tuesday, demanding that they register their chest binders as medical devices with the FDA.

The FDA says tight underwear is a medical device if trans people enjoy wearing it.

It’s disconcerting to see the laudatory article they wrote about our beloved Camp Indigo Point in this mix. I think I still trusted NYT when that came out? Anyhow, consider end of year support for CIP kids! tinyurl.com/CIPscholarsh...

“I will not let this administration come for you”: NY AG Letitia James Vows to Protect Trans Kids “Your healthcare is still legal and protected, and your doctors cannot cut off your access to gender affirming care based on the administration's reckless proposal.”

Dear @joshkaulwi.bsky.social,

Tysm,

Thank you for sharing our message! Camp Indigo Point has been literally life changing and life saving for my daughter, who after 3 summers is graduating from camper to staff 🏳️‍⚧️

It's hard to fathom but we are now *here* on this path to fascism.

@theradr.bsky.social I was going to send out the EOY appeal for scholarship funding for Camp Indigo Point today but I’m caught up trying to line up care for my daughter before the rules go into effect. Can you spare another shout out? 💕

The Big Tent Collapses in on Us Three Democrats crossed the aisle to join Republicans in passing a nationwide ban on gender affirming care for youth Wednesday evening Well, it happened finally. After a vote swapping deal by Rep. Ma...

For my newsletter, I wrote about how the Democratic Party "Big Tent" fell in on trans kids yesterday. www.burnsnotice.com/the-big-tent...

Should we play a ‘bing bing’ drinking game? Or do we need our livers for the holidays?

It’s going to take them “a while”?

Republicans started promising an ACA alternative in ... June 2009. tinyurl.com/3at57hmh

I chortled, and then had to explain The Godfather and icon of our times @georgetakei.bsky.social to Abby, but it was worth it.

liberal:

I’m now noticing an uptick in my feed of people posting their MF Wordles. Read the room. If I can’t go to Target anymore, you can’t play that game (or repost it daily… why???). You’re on Team Antifa or you should get off BlueSky, amiright?

LFG.

Trans Panic? More Like Trans Apathetic 2025 shows trans rights aren't electoral poison. The truth? Most people just don't care that much.

Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
