"Restricting gender-affirming care doesn’t just keep trans people from accessing hormone therapy and surgery to alleviate gender dysphoria — it can keep them from seeing a primary care provider at all, Smith said. Providers of gender-affirming medical care are often a trans person’s main health resource."

The 19th · Trans and intersex Americans’ health is suffering. The Trump administration could make it worse.By Orion Rummler

Today in Labor History March 14, 1954: Salt of the Earth premiered. The film depicted the 1951 strike of Mexican-American workers at the Empire Zinc mine, in New Mexico. The film was one of the first to portray a feminist political point of view, particularly through Actress Rosaura Revueltas’s role as Esperanza Quintero. When the Company uses the new Taft-Hartley Act (which also bans General Strikes) to impose an injunction preventing the men from picketing, their wives go walk the picket line in their places. LGBTQ and labor activist Will Geer also played in the film. Writer Michael Wilson, director Herbert Biberman and producer Paul Jarrico had all been blacklisted for their alleged communist ties. Only 13 of the 13,000 theaters in the U.S. showed the film.

LOVE RULES ALL.
Every human being wants to be seen, heard and loved.
Those putting greed and ego above love for people and the planet have something wrong within themselves.
Their fear of looking in the mirror and seeing their true selves is projecting outside toward #lgbtq, #women, #DEI, etc.
Would you want to be #trump, the person? Me neither.
That said, WE CAN and WILL change the system: make it safe, fair, and nurturing for everyone everywhere.

From the article: "Singing "we shall overcome" and waving the rainbow hues of the Pride flag, LGBTQ Iowans shared a message of hope on the heels of legislation dissolving civil rights protections for trans Iowans as they rallied at the Capitol.

"Tuesday's LGBTQ Day on the Hill comes less than two weeks after Gov. Kim Reynolds signed into law a bill removing gender identity as a protected class from the Iowa Civil Rights Act, the law that shields Iowans from discrimination in education, housing, employment, credit practices and public accommodations."
