Trump's anti-LGBT activism temporarily blocked

A judge has told HHS to not go forward with stripping LGBTQ patients of rights as the Trump administration has planned. The opinion is document 56 at

The final decision likely will be to continue some of the Obama protections, but they're also appear to be some actions that are legitimately within the executive branch's jurisdiction.

I can't wait until President Biden takes office. It is frightening to see anti-gay and anti-trans activists boldly targeting LGBTQ individuals.

1. Would you be able to be more specific?

2. The overarching goal of the Trump administration is to allow doctors to discriminate

Trump wanted to give clinics and providers the ability to reject LGBTQ patients outright.

There are tons of minor arguments that the administration is making as well, each one designed to decrease the access of LGBTQ people to medical care.

3. Ever since trump got in there

Being trans feels like a target on my head.

I have been misgendered in the ER, it is embarrassing.

It was awful on that psych ward. Once they found out I am trans. I told staff I felt threatened. They blew me off..

Got outed on a psych unit by the staff and that led to me being raped on the unit.

It's serious shit when people out you and misgender you. Once some find out you are trans the cisgendered will not leave you alone.

They get obsessed with your birth sex, who you are attracted to ,want to know your dead name.

They harass and stalk you
Insult you and think having cisgender sex would make me hetero and cis. It's awful. It's degrading. Yet trump wants to codify this abuse into law.
Transgender people need to be protected period.

I’m so sorry. This should never happen. Ever.

5. I hope I never go back

To that fucked up hospital again. What really blew my mind is after the rape the staff would not talk to me.
The therapist there who years before recognized I had trauma,was my therapist there. He told me in session after it happened that I wanted it.
After the shock wore off
I asked him how can you say that?
Then I got ungodly pissed and told him to fuck off and die. Got up and slammed that door so hard the glass broke out of it and the windows on the nearby nurses station rattled.

However a couple of local hospitals out here are very considerate of the needs of transpeople. Above and beyond in thier support.

I tell staff in the ER
in who are sending me out, to send me there.

Sadly going to a psych ward is like russian roulette when it comes to
choice to where you go..

So I avoid the ER as much as I can. Hate being treated like a criminal by the police that take you to the ER. Getting put in cuffs and put in a pexiglass box mounted to the seat because I'm depressed does not help my PTSD.

It just makes me feel trapped humiliated and like some monster.
