This year, states have introduced more than 100 restrictions on gender-affirming health care for transgender minors. The bills, which are mostly in Republican-controlled states, limit one or both of the main forms of gender-affirming care: medications that can delay the onset of puberty or hormones, and surgeries that aid in gender-transition. Lawmakers supporting the restrictions say they believe gender-based procedures could be harmful to minors. The American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics support minors’ access to gender-affirming care, saying that it leads to improved mental health, and that denying such care is linked to a greater incidence of depression and self-harm. #lgbtq #transgender #genderaffirmingcare #transkids #politics #healthcare #wsj #wallstreetjournal #thewallstreetjournal | 16 states restrict care for trans teens in record-breaking year, as of May 23

While McCarthy’s federal revenue numbers are technically true, implementing more taxes on billionaires—even by a little—could boost America’s revenue by a huge amount in the next decade. #usa #republican #politics | A reporter asking about taxing the rich was met with laughter by Republican lawmakers after being shut down by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. | Republicans Were Asked If They'd Tax the Rich. They Literally Laughed | McCarthy said that taxing the rich wasn't needed, because the U.S. had a federal revenue of 20 percent of GDP, compared to 17 percent in previous years. | He then blamed inflation on Democrats spending $6 trillion after winning the 2020 election. | Raising taxes on the wealthy, even a small amount, can bring in huge revenue. | For example, a 3 percent wealth tax on billionaires, as proposed by Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders in 2021, would produce around $3 trillion in revenue in the next 10 years. | House Speaker Kevin McCarthy R—California | *University of Berkeley study
