Politicians have provoked judges to weasel their way into healthcare decisions, and care is suffering because of it. From Sabrina Talukder and Cait Smith, these two cases in Idaho show the coordination behind this vile campaign against bodily autonomy:

This is a must read by Cait Smith and Sabrina Talukder for folks who need a primer on the interplay between abortion care and trans medical care attacks by extremist judges who are working against scientific evidence to further personal far-right ideology; It harms everyone.

My statement on the decision from SCOTUS yesterday to allow Idaho’s ban on best practice trans medical care for youth to go into effect.

SCOTUS had 3 trans medical bans they could review, but they chose Idaho’s. They chose a ban:

✅With felony charges

✅With no exceptions for those already getting care

✅From the same state asking SCOTUS to be able to refuse emergency care to pregnant people

We see you SCOTUS.

On Monday, chose to side with politicians over the health of Idaho youth.

We'll say it again - transgender medical care is well researched, life-saving, medically necessary care.

The fight isn't over.

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court granted an emergency stay request in Poe v. Labrador, siding with Idaho’s ultraconservative Legislature & allowing the state’s ban on transgender medical care for minors to go into effect for the first time since the case began more than 2 years ago.

Great article, featuring CAP’s Cait Smith on how the negative framing of LGBTQ+ literary and health content tells young members of the community that they don’t belong in schools 👇🏼

“Hostile school policy directly leads to harm,” Smith said.
