I keep reposting this because it went through weeks of fact- and legal-checking as some of the names in here have pushed outlets to take down negative coverage and it’s not getting read that much which also feels like letting those names win so Teen Vogue teenvogue.com/story/sag-wga-…

The Biden administration is flat wrong on this. It’s wrong on the science and substance. These decisions belong between a patient, their family, and their health care provider. This administration has committed to fighting for trans youth and must continue without hesitation.
