"My wife and I lost our healthcare, which trickles down into the loss of growing our family through adoption. Out-of-pocket expenses for annual screenings, along with my medication, will cost me roughly 11k out of pocket. I will have to travel to a different state to obtain affordable screenings. I have had folks canvassing for Trump and far-right leaders come to my door, stating that left leaders are allowing children to be mutilated."
"I have had more random trolls creeping into my DMs, stating sh*t like "my body, my choice," and other horrendous things in relation to myself as a trans person or the queer community. Social media accounts have been reported immediately after I share anything remotely about trans rights or trans lives being taken in the name of hate. I have lost family - not by choice, but because they view me as less than for some reason now."
H, a 35-year-old queer trans man, lost healthcare during the second Trump administration, jeopardizing medication and adoption plans. Annual screenings and medications now cost roughly $11,000 out-of-pocket, and affordable care requires travel to another state. Campaigners and far-right canvassers have confronted him at his door with claims that left leaders are allowing children to be mutilated. He experiences increased online harassment, frequent reporting and removal of social media accounts after sharing trans-related content, and estrangement from family members who now view him as less than. He hopes cis allies will take on more of the fight in 2026.
