Do you not get that for us, our healthcare is literally our lives? If people are forced to detransition do you know that the suicide rate will go even higher among us than it is now?

Moving to a different state costs a lot of money, and that is something that people on public health plans like Medicaid lack. So, taking away a trans persons access to gender affirming care under these plans is literally erasing and killing us.

Do you really imagine that voting Republican will give you healthcare while they try to kill you?

I did not vote Republican because that wasn't a choice that I had to make from where I am.

I am just trying to explain that there is a lot more to losing healthcare for us and it is fucking tone deaf to act like losing access to healthcare is no big deal and we should suck it up and keep voting for shitheads just because they have a fucking letter D next to their names.

Voting R is a protest vote in this case and every American is allowed to vote their mind and has reasons for doing so. This thread is full of people acting like they are admonishing us for making choices at the ballot box that line up with how we feel about those choices. And honestly the whole thing fucking sucks.

Fuck sakes.
