Yeah. I think it's worth talking about the fact that, like, there are so many angles of attack on this, right? There is the one that is just very clearly aimed at trans kids, right? The EO that specifies, like, protecting children. It's nonsense. But that is aimed at ending this care everywhere. Now, are they going to be able to do it everywhere? I don't know. Maybe, but not quickly.

But they can end it for FQHCs all across the country by simply making it like the Hyde Amendment. Right. Right. Right. Then there are also just the doge fuckery that is going to harm all of this and may create a lot of the same outcomes, right? Which is they turned off grants kind of just across the board.

Yes, some of them were targeted on things like gender-affirming care, but most of them were just like, it's a grant, we're turning it off. And then there was the TRO, but much of that funding has remained frozen. We have been told that the system is up and running and that they... undid what they did and the courts stepped in and, oh, don't we have the courts still here in the United States?

Isn't that a good thing? But they just kept the funding off, whether because they're incompetent or because they're actively defying the law, doesn't really matter. And as a result, federally qualified health centers all across the country have laid people off. They have closed clinics and have entirely gone underwater in some cases.

And then those people are not there to treat the community that needs them so badly. Yeah. And all of these systems are grounded in their communities. So when you lose, you know, the clinic that's in LA that had to close its doors for the office that's, you know, on one side of town, the people there knew that place. It was part of their community, part of their existence.

It was grounded in that community and its community's needs. And that's just gone. And this puts us in a very difficult position and, you know, leadership in a very difficult position of figuring out, well, do I worry about these trans youth and the fact that they might kill themselves?

Or do I worry about the impact that standing up on principle and saying I won't toss them to the wolves might have on the rest of the system? And it becomes a very difficult sort of situation for us as providers to navigate. But, you know, in fairness to leadership, which I disagree with, for them, too.
