It will be extremely interesting to see what institutions like Fenway Health and NYU Langone do now. The ostensible reason for their ending of youth gender care is now gone - will they resume care for all the trans kids they abandoned?
Here's wishing every single hospital administrator who complied in advance a very wakes up in a cold anxious sweat every day until they a) reverse course and b) apologize.
1. This weekend, a federal judge permanently blocked funding threats to providers and hospitals that provide trans youth care.
The judge also blocked "any similar policy."
Hospitals have NO excuse and must return to providing care under many blue state laws.

The HHS secretary also lacks the power "to
exclude providers from federal Healthcare programs based on their provision of gender-affirming care in a manner and quality consistent with the professionally recognized standards of care in the Plaintiff States."
Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.
“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

The HHS secretary "lacks the authority to unilaterally establish standards of care that supersede professionally recognize standards of care for provision of gender-affirming care recognized in the Plaintiff States"
This means that HHS can no longer initiate investigations of gender clinics for trans youth based on the Kennedy declaration or try to terminate federal funding through Medicaid and Medicare.
This is an unequivocal win for the 22 states that brought this suit to protect access.
Page 1 of a legal Judgment document from the United States District Court, District of Oregon for Case No. 6:25-cv-02409-MTK, filed on 04/18/26. The plaintiffs are listed as "STATE OF OREGON, et al.," and the defendants are "ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR., in his official capacity as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, et al." The document is from United States District Judge Kasubhai. It outlines that final judgment is entered in favor of the Plaintiffs on Counts I, II, III, and IV. Item 3 states the Court holds unlawful, sets aside, and vacates the "Declaration of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services RE: Safety, Effectiveness and Professional Standards of Care for Sex-Rejecting Procedures on Children and Adolescents".
Page 2 of a legal judgment document for Case 6:25-cv-02409-MTK, filed on April 18, 2026. The text outlines a court order declaring that defendants lack the authority to unilaterally establish standards of care that supersede professionally recognized standards for gender-affirming care in the Plaintiff States. It permanently enjoins defendants and their agents, including the HHS-OIG, from enforcing the "Kennedy Declaration" against providers in those states. The document is dated April 18, 2026, and is signed by United States District Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai.
Huge news: the court has entered final judgement in Oregon v Kennedy (HHS trans youth care ban) and has vacated the Kennedy declaration and permanently enjoined its enforcement to target gender clinics.

71% of Americans and 54% of Tennesseans support gay marriage, fuck this bullshit. Take your resolution and shove it up your ass
Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of.

When I visited rural Slovakia in 2018, one of the most popular gathering activities I discovered the teens got up to was setting up a projector or a tv screen and watching pirated movies while passing around booze the older cousin bought for them
Third spaces always happen unless you suppress them
About 15% of all U.S. hospitals are Catholic and their current policy is to provide zero trans healthcare including to adults. There have also been multiple accounts of trans people being turned away entirely for unrelated issues because of who they are. So suck the Pope off harder please
Amidst the chaos, we’re pleased to whisper that it has been a full year since the Gaslight District PILOT first crept into the world. It hasn’t been forgotten. Their turn will come… in time
Dem candidates for 2026, take note
Our generation is too tech savvy to care for streaming much, but desperate for third spaces and art that we will use the tiny amount of money we have to go support films in theaters. The only good path for Paramount here with the leak is to just put it back in theaters but they wont.
to the point that people are asking it be put in theaters, some even after watching the leaked film. Audiences want good films, especially animation, in theaters. Is Paramount going to do that? Probably not. Because their priority isnt with audiences artists or art.
Originally this film was supposed to go to theaters, but Paramount wanted to try and use it to promote their streaming service against the wishes of the people who made the film. They've got what is undeniably a primarily gen-z franchise with a fanbase desperate to support it,
Fascinating phenomena of executives not understanding audiences at all. Same week that theres reports saying gen-z is the number one theater going audience the Aang movie gets leaked and I am seeing its fans all over saying "Id go to the theater, but I refuse to get a paramount plus subscription."
hey guys - i'm in a pretty dire housing situation right now. i have to move at the end of the month (lease expires) but prior plans w/ people completely fell apart & i'm back to square one. i'm looking for a room in Brooklyn, trans friendly, 1100 a month max, not a temporary sublet. plz let me know.
"Those taxes you just paid? The money is going straight into Trump's pocket" would be good messaging
the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system
