If you are in the area of New York City please read about this opportunity to show up for the rights of trans minors¹https://bsky.app/profile/socialists.nyc/post/3lh7pzr6mus25---¹ This wording is inaccurate as the Trump executive order against medical care for trans people applies to persons under 19 years of age so some people who are both practically and legally adults are covered by the ban

@mcc I think some people might get hung up on this being hosted by the DSA. But the Democrats aren't hosting it and this is unacceptable. There are thousands and thousands of trans kids in NYC in most cases with supportive families, there is nothing to debate here just denial of medical care and an attempt to force everyone to live with one people's set of "values" --It would be delightful if there were a big showing for this IMO.

@futurebird @mcc Hopefully those people who get hung up on that fact will end up talking to actual members of the DSA to learn more about what the DSA is and isn't. * Disclaimer: I'm a member of the DSA.

@caramelyoghurt @mcc I don't care about theory. I will see if there is a big crowd there. If there is I will keep finding more people to add to it. I'm looking for the soft spots. That's where you poke hard.I don't have endless "political capital" to spend.

@caramelyoghurt @mcc If you are gay or bi or have a single LGBT friend you think of as a real person and don't see this as a direct attack coming for you and your friends you are not paying attention. The next step is obvious. Same deal if you aren't white or Christian. Those categories basically cover "all New Yorkers" but if people think they can sit and be quiet and not get noticed next they are deeply mistaken. I hate thinking about this as much as anyone.

@futurebird @mcc If the democrats were willing to do this type of work the DSA wouldn’t need to exist

@futurebird @mcc How about a life line? You might need one... People generally don't want to be manipulated.

@futurebird @mcc I mean, the logic is clear on what matters right. X & Y are mates.

@mcc If some of ya'll don't like protests or have good reasons for not going perhaps a phone call to complain about this actions would also be good. Making it tomorrow will help make them feel like everyone is mad at them at once, which is how they ought to feel about making this choice. The *least* you can do is a Strongly Worded Letter. This is real:https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/nyregion/nyu-langone-hospital-trans-care-youth.html

@futurebird @mcc Just like Josh Marshall wrote earlier today: when people can't lash out at the Trump administration, they'll attack each other instead.We need to get way smarter than this.

@jmjm @mcc I'm not being flip when I say people may have good reasons for not going to protests. I can think of several. But, I'm also not impressed with too many excuses. This is a local issue for NYC. It's clear cut. That's the threshold IMO.

@futurebirdUltimately, the wrong sort of Christian. Or white, but still not white enough.There is no bottom. @caramelyoghurt @mcc
