Let's all repeat: Gender-affirming care is necessary medical care. Wow, CNN.
This is anti-trans trash, @KFILE, @ErinBurnett, and @CNN, and it’s beneath you. Yes, when the state takes custody of someone, they must provide necessary health care. If that necessary health care includes gender-affirming medical care, then it does. The end.

Exciting news @19thnews — three of our reporters’ beats are changing to more accurately describe what they cover! @ChabeliC_ is now our economy and child care reporter. @slooterman is our disability and aging reporter. @shefalil is our reproductive health reporter.
