In an unusual move, Donald Trump’s administration is using the US Department of Housing and Urban Development website to blame the looming government shutdown on the “radical left”.

The giant red banner, splashed across the agency website on Tuesday morning, comes after Republican and Democratic leaders did not reach an agreement on government spending legislation beyond the Tuesday night deadline, which will result in hundreds of thousands of employees furloughed and agencies shutting down key functions.

      Basic trans rights are also at stake. The current provisions that Republicans want would basically strip all adult trans people of any gender affirming care, which WILL cause a LOT of deaths.

      In addition to the extraordinarily high suicide rate amongst trans folk (almost 50% due to shit like this), HRT isn’t something you can just turn off. It can lead to osteoporosis and a whole host of other issues, some of which are life threatening.

      I want to be clear: Republicans are salivating for a transgender genocide. They want us to simply die, and I unfortunately expect Democrats to fully throw us under the bus
