Re: Vanderbilt hospital deciding to end gender affirming surgeries for adults via Erin In the Morning and who quoted someone saying the very thing I've been yelling into the ether:
“We’re used to having to fight a lot for our rights, for our healthcare, and just to be recognized,” the chair told Erin in the Morning. “The survival of all trans folks depends upon the survival of trans folks in the South.”
“They’re going to come after the South first, make sure that their tactics work,” he continued. “Then they’re going to push them out to other states. That’s what we continue to see.”

Vanderbilt ends all surgical gender affirming procedures for adults. When I say TN is blueprint for the country, this is what it looks like. Vanderbilt is a hospital with a nation-wide reputation for being cutting edge and is folding to MAGA.

@transworld how about drafting a bill that protects queer people???? I mean, in my state, they just voted near unanimously in the House to not recognize our marriages, they attacked our trans kids and obliterated their rights, they're about to legislate against the Bostock Act, AND make it illegal to have pride in June and pride flags in public. Biden said he had our backs.... and that was bs. Imo protecting pride flags at national parks while states like mine are allowed to "poof" us out of our rights and existence while the federal laws still exist in this moment, seems more important????? JS......it's weak and one more way dems fail us. All of us. And my state isn't the only one. We're getting hammered over here.... but yeah, let's protect flags at national parks so flags can exist while us queers I guess will have to go to national parks to exist and breathe. #lgbtq #blackLGBTQ #lgbtqrightsNOW #lgbtqrights4ever

I made the mistake of using the wrong pronoun for someone a while back. Fortunately they were willing to accept my apology.
So now I use the term Black Royalty mostly instead of Black Queen or King.
