what’s crazy is that just a year ago I was using the data on the CDC website to research HIV statistics/history for a college project, and right now someone who got the same assignment I did might be having a much harder time with that project because that information is being censored by the government

Wait, what? I knew stuff was going on, but huh? Is that even legal? Also, is it just within the CDC or everything? Source? Why is “pregnant person/people” on there? Is it because it’s more neutral? Also, if they made the distinction that both non-binary and nonbinary were banned, then is LGBTQ okay even if LGBT is not? What about terms like trans or enby? Are those allowed? What about abbreviations like AFAB or AMAB? What is the cited reason behind this? Not the real reason, we kinda know that already, but the cited reason - maybe that’s easier to work around? On the bright side, the CDC isn’t global so there’s plenty of documentation outside of the US that they can block but never actually touch…

Btw, this is how conservatives keep getting to claim that trans people are a new thing no one has ever heard, because our history and existences have continually been erased or obscured systematically through out history.

The most famous example was 92 years when the Nazis raided the library of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, the medical practice where the term transsexual was first coined and the first gender affirming surgery was performed in in 1931.

What did the Nazis do after raiding the library on May 6th, 1933? You may be familiar with these images

It is happening again.

CDC: Wait, you knew about this?

Florida: Yeah, I told Gov about it months ago.

CDC: You what?! *glares at Gov*

Gov: What? They say insane shit all the time! How was I supposed to know this one was true?

Idaho: Bank accounts are a scam created by the shadow government.

Gov: See?!

I know I’ve said this before, but everyone on this website needs to stop getting healthcare information from random infographics and webcomics

[askshivanulegacy]

Paywalled sources and people who post paywalled sources are simply not real.

Trump paused communications from all of our health agencies. He wants them reviewed.

You will be much less likely to know from now on during the early days if we have something like the current rising bird flu epidemic. You will be less likely to know about any illness epidemics. Even once things are confirmed and being reported in some media outlets, there's a non-zero chance that you are not going to see any urgency or any communication at all from places you are used to.

For the love of little green apples, please start masking again. Please be more careful with your health then you have been over the last 4 years.

By now, there's lots of people have heard about the internal CDC memos for all newly prepared manuscripts (like future scientific papers waiting to be published):

There's so much to comment on, and I'm seeing it all right now. What the state of science is. What this means for the queer community. All of that.

But fuck, I think I might genuinely start crying over this. As a transgender biologist, this feels like a brutally personal blow. I slowly accepted my gender alongside my biology education. The more misinformation that was spewed about "biological sex" by mainstream media, the more my professors, colleagues, and primary sources would casually drop information that proved they have no idea what they're talking about. I'm not an expert on sex determination, gender, or transgender biology specifically by any means. But my worldview has been crafted by my studies in genetics and molecular biology.

Engaging with this research helped me demystify transition. It helped me optimize my transition. It helped me explain how HRT and other steps of trans healthcare work to other people. And it helped me overcome my own internalized transphobia, and finally start transitioning, despite knowing I wanted to since my preteen years.

Who knows how enforceable internal guidelines like this will be. But its certainly going to scare a lot of researchers away from transgender healthcare and science in the coming years, and that breaks my heart.

There's a lot I can say here, but fuck. I just needed to vent for a moment. Fuck.

Alright I know that we’re all tired. We’re 5 months into this now and it can be really tempting to just check out. To be honest, I did that a lot in May. And what I realized from doing that is, yeah, checking out felt nice, but the bad things still kept happening.

Remember, Trump and his cronies want us to stop paying attention. Because if we’re not paying attention, then we’re not fighting back and they can keep getting away with destroying our country and enriching themselves in the process.

You don’t need to spend every waking second of your day thinking about the news. But what I do ask is that, if you see a story from a credible news source about the corruption or more cuts to programs or problems that are starting to reverberate out from previous actions, please share it. Don’t just look at it and move on. Share it.

Fighting back only works if we all do it together. Remember that our communities are our strength.
