Idaho is close to passing a law that would make providing trans teens with gender affirming care punishable by LIFE in prison!
This is life-saving care that is standard across the world. It is care that every national and pediatric organization supports.
This needs to stop!

Theses states are all trying to one up each other in how cruel they can be to trans youth. Idaho saw what Texas was doing and decided to be even more inhumane.
This particular bill adds medically necessary gender affirming care to the female genital mutilation bill.

Idaho is chock full of anti trans facists and it might be a very bad experince if I visit.
Maybe its time for a trans caravan. No obnoxious trucks,and assholery but transgender flags everywhere. Lots of pro trans slogans,make ourselves very visible in the states that are trying to erase us.
Protests in front of the anti trans fascists. Humiliate and shame them. Educate the receptive and curious.Among other things. Show these fucking fascists we will not be erased.

(1,962 posts)I believe they have now banned all trans athletes from participating in sports. I have no doubt they and some of the other red Nazi states are watching Texas and Florida and Idaho and thinking "That looks fun! I WANNA JOIN YOU!"
It's definitely time for the White House to fight back, and fight back hard.. Because next week, these fascists will find a new low to reach.

(1,962 posts)Idaho might be one of the most vile, extreme-right states in the nation, and have been for a long time. It seems they, along with Montana, are filled with an awful lot of "Overthrow the government, take our country by force and turn it into a Christofascist nation! Under nation under Lord Drumpf!" types.
When following presidential elections, there are states where I sit back and know where they're going, the only question are what percentages we'll see. If I were to tune in on election night and see 100% of Idaho go to the Republican candidate, I would not be shocked.
It's a shame. I know there are good people in Idaho, and it looks to be a lovely state - except for all the Nazi thugs. Too fucking many Nazi thugs.
But that said... Idaho, go fuck yourself. Seriously. Fuck off. I'm tired of you extreme-right jackbooted Nazis trying to stomp all over those who are different. I'm tired of these alleged "rugged tough guys" stomping all over the vulnerable. And I'm fucking tired of the wannabe Fourth Reich terrorizing the trans community, especially trans teens.
I hope you have a lot of resources, ACLU and Lambda. Because now it's time to take the fight to Idaho too. Because not only have these goons joined in, they want to be even more dangerous than Texas.
President Biden... I don't know what you plan to do, but, you're gonna have to do something. This can't stand. Things are getting worse by the day. And the day is coming where someone is going to round up and kill trans people, or make it so an adult choosing gender-affirming care can be punished by life in prison.
Don't let the anger and swearing my posts fool you... I'm fucking scared shitless as well.
Fuck the QOP. Fuck Idaho. And I guess here's at least one person who is done buying potatoes.
