I just read the new “Gender Dysphoria” report from the Department of Health and Human Services. And I genuinely don’t have enough middle fingers for it.

They’re calling it a “review of evidence.” What it really is? A thinly-veiled manifesto against gender-affirming care. It downplays suicide risk. It discredits medical consensus. It treats affirming care like reckless experimentation. And worst of all, it pretends to care about kids while laying the groundwork to destroy their futures.

This isn’t some fringe paper from a right-wing think tank. This is the federal government publishing a blueprint for denying life-saving care to trans youth and calling it “compassionate.”

They frame puberty blockers and hormones like we’re handing out poison. They paint therapists who affirm gender identity as dangerous. They quote detransitioners like they’re the norm and completely ignore the voices of actual trans people living full, joyful lives because of the care they received.

They pretend to be neutral. It’s not. It’s biased as hell. It’s written in that smug, sanitized language meant to sound objective while dripping with moral panic. It’s the same garbage we’ve seen in state bans, just scaled up and printed on official HHS letterhead.

I’m so tired of watching people who don’t know a single trans kid in real life act like experts on their bodies. Tired of watching politicians use “but what if they regret it” as a reason to legislate kids into trauma. Tired of the erasure, the gaslighting, the bullshit dressed up as care.

This report will be weaponized. It will be cited in court. It will be used to justify bans, lawsuits, and cruelty. And when that happens, HHS doesn’t get to say they didn’t know. They will have lit the match.

So yeah, I’m angry. And if you care about trans kids, you should be too.

Read it. Talk about it. Don’t let it disappear under the radar.

Because this isn’t just about healthcare. It’s about whether this country believes trans youth are worth protecting at all.

And right now, the answer coming from the top is no.

But ours has to be louder. And it has to be: We will not let you erase them.

Hey Everyone,

We’ve seen the comments and questions, and honestly, we get it. A lot of folks are tired of symbolic actions that don’t lead anywhere. So let us say this plainly: Inclusion Day x Denim Day isn’t just a photo op. It’s a full-scale civil rights action.

Yeah, we’re showing up in denim, but this is so much more than a fashion statement. We’re taking over part of DC with a real presence, launching a 30-day national boycott against major corporations that fund anti-LGBTQIA+ hate, and we’re calling out even the smaller players too. That includes privately owned DC businesses that backed MAGA or supported GOP-led rollbacks of our rights. It’s a bold move, yeah, but silence is complicity and we’re not playing soft anymore.

We’re pushing for federal protections, building real-time crisis networks, and preparing queer and trans youth to lead in the spaces where change actually happens. This isn’t performative. It’s pressure. And it’s only getting louder.

And let’s talk about where we actually are right now. MAGA and the GOP control the White House, both chambers of Congress, and the Supreme Court. That’s the brutal reality. And unless the left stops tearing itself apart over single-issue fights and starts showing the hell up together, it’s only going to get worse.

So this is us being honest. If you’re tired of the same half-measures, the same bureaucracy, the same bullshit, come build with us. We don’t need clout. We need power. Real, unapologetic, grassroots power.

April 30. National Mall. DC.
Be there. Make change.
