House HHS Appropriations Bill Would Devastate Trans Adult Healthcare Nationwide

I really hope Democrats don't cave on this bill, but if they do, it wouldn't stop all clinics from providing care (since not all clinics have halted care for trans youth), and it wouldn't stop telemedicine organizations like Folx and Plume, whose funding model doesn't rely on federal funding to begin with.

For the most part, with the exception of the military band, Democrats in Congress have supported our rights. I think the odds are better than not that there will be a government shutdown and the bill won't pass.

I was in a pretty dark place last night. I'm still really scared, but this bill is not the end.
