It’s getting lost in the noise, but the “Big, Beautiful Bill” just passed by the House GOP basically removes health care coverage for gender-affirming care for ALL trans people. Not only trans youth but trans adults, too. Only the most privileged trans Americans would still have coverage.

Not sure why media organizations refer to an "anti-DEI push" when what is happening is racist, sexist censorship and suppression of free speech. If we don't call it what it is, it'll continue to slip under the radar. Same with the administration's alleged "concerns about anti-Semitism."
