Just you when you think Republicans couldn’t possibly be any more heartless, they find a way to surprise us, John.

AP News: For transgender kids, a frantic rush for treatment amid bans

Trans kids are under attack from extremist GOP lawmakers seeking to ban gender-affirming care and make them targets for bullying and discrimination.

Some Republican lawmakers are even pushing legislation that would take children away from parents who actively support their child in their transition.

The cruelty is the point, John, because anti-trans bigotry is not just some fringe viewpoint in the Republican Party — it’s part of their platform.

We need to defeat these bigots at the ballot box and show them that we won’t tolerate their attacks on the trans community. Would you please consider pitching in $25 to help us defeat the bigoted GOP up and down the ballot?
