  1. As a trans person, I was denied healthcare from doctors on the first initial appointment because the dr “wasn’t comfortable treating”, I quit counting after 15 doctors who did this to me. This started Jan 2017. This isn’t new.

    1. Erica the Magnificent! I’ve worked in medicine for a long time. We all have things at work that we may question, or be uncomfortable with. That does not give a physician the right to violate your basic right to healthcare. That’s very upsetting to hear. Stay strong. Nothing is more beautiful than someone who truly follows their heart.

    2. Please sue them to help protect everyone else. Also give us their names so we don’t have to go to evil doctors.

    1. @Pam Deshane So now y’all don’t want start rights? Wow y’all sure change when it benefits you. Blue states are more populated with a higher chance for infection. If we go back too early we will be shutting down again this fall both red and blue states. Ask why Trump making ppl sign wavers saying they won’t sue if they get sick at a rally so someone in Trump’s campaign and administration who believes it’s serious enough. Vote Blue

    2. @tonic 888 No amount of cloth on anyone’s nose or mouth is going to stop us from voting for this President.

  2. The fact that trump keep timing these announcements with anniversaries of important dates is disgusting

  3. …..
    There are more people attending this
    March yesterday than those in attendance for Trump’s inauguration.

    1. Maybe that’s why he’s retaliating against these groups. He’s jealous of their large crowd sizes.

  4. Why does anyone even mention Susan Collins anymore?
    She is a useless skin bag with few morals and no conviction to back them.

    Good luck!

  5. I Love Laverne Cox.. NetFlix… can’t wait. I love the discussion about addressing biases. This is so important.

    1. If you want discussion about addressing biases, and it is important. I suggest we first all address the extreme and blatant bias in the MSM!!!

    1. Passive Agressive I moved home to Maine last year after 20 year. I am SO looking forward to helping to fire that kapo.

    2. About like Nancy and Chuck all the sudden caring about black peoples by wearing African clothing. Most black people have never been to Africa

    1. ​@isaidme0 I have yet to see an idea by a republican that isn’t about them making money at the expense of someone else’s freedoms… and then blaming the resulting mess on the democrats. It’s never the fault of the republican’s, ever…

    2. Mistair Arts why do liberals intentionally move somewhere they know doesn’t reflect their views and try to ruin everything for everyone else that were already there? Stay out of Texas and in California

    1. @SilverWheel67 I’ve already been on the chopping block with Trump… stick your AK where the sun doesn’t shine.

    2. @myrna jay trump has been cutting welfare programs, if you feel youve been on the choping block then you are just another lefty failure that cant help themselves. also the ak47 is a fully auto rifle that is illegal in all 50 states. try reading for a change maybe you can get a usefull skill and get an actual job

    3. myrna jay they have been rolling back our second amendment rights for a long time have you spoken up against it?

    1. I can literally name half a dozen groups that you don’t give two craps about.

      You only care if its fashionable.

  6. Poor poor msn still pushing propaganda on corona vires houx that criminal democrats and Deepstate started so miserable all of AMERICA nose this turmp 2020baby

  7. they’ll still get the health care like everybody, but what other health care are they talking about?

  8. Why isn’t every one being protected? Does insurance pay for transgender change? if it does that is B.S.

    1. that’s the point. obama’s policy doesn’t say you can’t fire someone on the basis of being LGBTQ+, it says you can’t fire them for their sexual orientation, regardless of what it is.
