#transmasc without safe access to hospital care
Stand up against “Don’t Say Gay” laws that several states within the USA are trying to push through- they’re insidious.
It’s way beyond LGBTQ erasure. It’s more than than isolating LGBTQ students, teachers, and other members of society and putting them at risk of discrimination, violence, suicide, and disenfranchisement to the fringes of society. “Don’t Say Gay” laws are designed not to protect children from “inappropriate material”, they’re actually a direct effort to prevent the educational process necessary to change society to end discrimination and violence, particularly Transgender discrimination. Only education at a young age can achieve this goal.
Not just Florida. More than a dozen states propose so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bills
Something I said last year in a post about the racial hate that’s been flaring up here, discusses the process:
“Racism, just like homophobia, is going to take decades and decades to be reduced by education and creating new standards. We can’t flip a switch and make everyone’s deeply rooted beliefs change. It’s learned, passed down generation to the next, from family and community.”(https://mysterioususerx.tumblr.com/post/646005364447428608/two-weeks-ago-i-answered-an-ask-about-why)
Eliminating LGBTQ history and other educational programs and content stops this process dead in its tracks at a key critical moment in our history. It’s an effort to stop Transgender rights from happening.
STAND UP AGAINST “DON’T SAY GAY”! Our future and survival are depending upon it! And this goes way beyond the United States: as one of the most influential countries on the planet, we’re setting global precident too. 
Oh oh ohhh this is so not cool. I can’t believe they’re going there. A jaw droppingly LGBTQ hate and racist kind of not cool.
Florida governor DeSantis is directly targeting Disney World for being conspicuously LGBTQ equality supportive, and throwing the weight of his office to take them down for it… and more than that, if you read his written statement to his supporters, it’s racist too.
YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN FLORIDA… read it here:
The “Don’t Say Gay” laws that DeSantis is fighting dirty for are laws aimed at making it illegal to even mention the existence of LGBTQ people in schools, including giving guidance, protection from bullying, and emotional support to LGBTQ children, and erasing all LGBTQ history from being taught or discussed in schools. Beyond safe sex and inclusiveness- Pride and Stonewall civil rights history? It would be illegal to discuss. The very local Pulse massacre? Illegal history too. “Help- I’m gay and my dad is beating me…” pleas from children to teachers or guidance counselors? Illegal too.
IT’S REPOST TIME, NETIZENS!
Update on the situation with my access to the steroid inhaler I need to live…
After a lot of unbelievable screw ups, transmasc discrimination, melodramatic cisgender fragility, manipulative corporate head games, and stonewalling & gaslighting to cover their asses, I finally got the telehealth provider app people to prescribe a 3 month supply of my steroid asthma inhaler… after having to beg and plead the manufacturer on my own to bend the rules to allow me to get renewed into their subsidized prescription program, because the telehealth provider refused to fax in my prescription and the renewal forms to them. The meds are super expensive, and I can’t afford them any other way.
It was a battle after I qualified too, because the telehealth people at first refused to write my prescription, saying they already did, then they sent an Albuterol rescue inhaler script instead of the right prescription to the steroid inhaler manufacturer (who doesn’t even make Albuterol), and when I complained, they said that I was never on the steroid inhaler at all, and lying about it (though there’s a year of records of it with the manufacturer). After much verbal abuse and head games to try to drive me off, I got them to straighten it out. The manufacturer had to rush expedite my prescription to get it to me in time. (The telehealth app people also pulled other related gaslighting and discrimination crap that’s too traumatic to discuss further here)
I’m now stuck searching for a new telehealth provider app. I’d be a fool to risk my life and emotional trauma to go through that crap again… and the reason why I’m using telehealth app services at all is because of violent anti transmasc discrimination locally. I still don’t have access to emergency or local health care because I’m Transmasc in a Deep South state.
…and I wouldn’t even need any of this shit if my bigoted landlord would enforce the posted anti smoke (and p0t) laws in the building where I live. I’d still be running marathons, not bed bound, trying to find a lawyer willing to represent a Transmasc person’s civil rights.
Fucking tired of this shit.
