This was brought to my attention this week. Gender affirming care providers, particularly those that treat trans youth, are being legally harassed by the federal government, and those that don't surrender are forced to burn money to defend themselves in court. Even in the case above, where the provider won, the DOJ just appealed the decision to drag out the legal battle even longer.

That's literally trumps MO. File bullshit, then hold it up so long the average people cannot hope to afford it.

Once again I'm glad I'm in MD now. State actually has laws on the books protecting access to gender confirming healthcare.

Don't let the fact that the Pope has had some stopped clock moments on war and immigration distract you from the fact that he's not interested in ending the Catholic Church's transphobia (or its sexism, or its "wanting to be able to cover up crimes by priests" issue):
