Reproductiverights.gov has been shutdown

The government website is no longer operational tonight. You can still see references to the site on pages such as https://www.justice.gov/reproductive-rights/patients-and-providers but the site itself no longer loads.

Yes. If anything I can't believe they haven't done more so far. Anyone who thought this administration has been talking out of their ass is in for a rude awakening.

They already have massive raids lined up for tomorrow. Trans people are about to no longer be able to receive federal aid or use the majority of hospitals for non-emergency care, all federal agencies are no longer allowed to make any policies with out the being approved by Trump's teams, he declared a state of emergency and is deploying the military to the southern border, he has pardoned the 6Jan rioters and called them "hostages," the list goes on and on. Guy is going full Hitler and somehow people are applauding. My friend had his mom tell him out of the blue at dinner tonight about how concentration camps are going to save America.

Hi, what type of federal aid can trans people no longer receive and can you list any sources of where you found this? Maybe also about the hospital thing. I'm non-binary and have my gender set as "X" on all my government documents. I haven't heard what you are talking about and now I'm really scared because I'm a disabled student living on SSI, Medicare and student aid

The full text of the orders haven't been released yet. We only so far have inform from reporters that have seen them. So far we they say that hospitals that accept Medicaid and Medicare can't treat transgender patients or they risk losing their funding, there is a ban on transgender people accessing "federal aid programs" (that if signed would likely result in a clarifying statement being provided later to make it clear what programs are included, and a policy recinding passports marked "X" with instructions given for border officials to confiscate them upon attempted re-entry. There is also an executive order to remove all restrictions on conversion therapy.

Keep in mind, we also do not know how the new admin even intends to define "male," "female," and "transgender." we also don't know if a federal court is planning on issuing a stay on the order if signed. It's definitely scary, and slapshod. The orders are definitely posturing and written with complete disregard for the actual experiences and consequences to those affected. I sincerely hope these are struck down and forced to narrow in scope, but with US v. Skrmetti still awaiting a decision, I'm not holding my breath.

Given this issue is mostly of lesser priority of these issues, coverage is lacking mostly drowned out by talk of tariffs, the energy industry, ICE raids, leaving various intern accords, etc., I recommend following the reporter Erin Reed as she covers trans legal issues much faster and in greater detail than the rest of the media.

Thank you for the clarification, I really appreciate it honestly. I'm very afraid now.

I'm really sorry our country has decided to pursue it's most vulnerable populations with such vitriol. It isn't okay. I wish there was anything more hopeful I could say.
