I’m going to start writing, as often as possible, about the things I see happening. This is mostly for myself. I want a record of what happened, so that when they attempt to gaslight me, I’ll be able to look back at my own experiences. I’m doing so in a blog because it might be useful for someone else.
Today they did exactly what they said they would do if they took power. Two hundred executive orders on a wide range of topics. Several attacks on trans people in one big executive order. It’s horrifying. Trans women in federal prison will be transferred to to men’s prisons. Medicaid and Veterans Admin health care recipients will likely have their gender affirming care no longer covered. Federal funds will be withheld from any organization promoting “gender ideology.” Federal agencies are instructed to only recognize sex assigned at birth.
