Here's something easy to do, and comments have had an impact in the past. The Musk/Trump administration wants to strip gender-affirming care out of Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans.
To skip down to read the section about this, search the page for "sex-trait".
This proposal also is about denying the care to DACA folks. I recommend submitting two separate comments, one about each of these cruel proposals.
1) Click "Submit a Public Comment" at the top of the page.
2) Type in your comment.
3) There's a question "What is your comment about?" with a long drop-down list to select from. That seems to be a way to narrow down what your comment is about, which isn't appropriate for this kind of treatment. That question doesn't require an answer, so I skipped it.
4) Check Individual. You can make your comment anonymous or provide more info.
You can upload files with supporting information, too, if you'd like.
In my comment, I touched on:
- gender affirming care is required for a lot of people. For example, I’m on HRT after menopause. Many men with gynecomastia have breast-reduction surgery.
- gender affirming care for people who are transitioning is important healthcare, critical to their wellbeing. I talked about rates of suicide in people who cannot transition.
- The Executive Order that is the basis for this claims to be about protecting women. The EO is biological nonsense, legally incoherent, and as I woman I have absolutely no need to be “protected” from women who are trans.
