Speaker 1: Last day, last day. Goodbye Katara Ravash, Hello beautys, and
Speaker 1: welcome back to Beauty translated Minnesota number Bye. Wow. This week,
Speaker 1: I'm all by myself. I'm in the closet all alone. Well,
Speaker 1: I do have producers, Jess and Kurt with me here,
Speaker 1: very grateful for that. Yes, they are keeping me fed,
Speaker 1: they are keeping the lights on, they are bringing me
Speaker 1: water and whatnot. But yeah, I'm in the closet all
Speaker 1: by myself, and we're just going to cover some news. First.
Speaker 1: I have a dog. He's almost three months old. His
Speaker 1: name is Sonny. I was making myself breakfast and I
Speaker 1: turned around and all of a sudden, he was shitting
Speaker 1: and before I could even pick it up, he had
Speaker 1: eaten one of the turns. So insert horrified soundboard effect here,
Speaker 1: whatever that may be. Anyway, that's what I'm excited about
Speaker 1: this week. My dog has not eaten any more shit.
Speaker 1: Let's move on to why we fucking hate it here,
Speaker 1: which is one of my least favorite states to discuss
Speaker 1: is the state of Florida. And we're going to be
Speaker 1: talking about the state of Florida today because they are rotten,
Speaker 1: horrid monsters. So, as we know, Florida signed into law
Speaker 1: SB two fifty four, which was largely reported as a
Speaker 1: bill that targeted trans youth and limiting access to gender
Speaker 1: or firming care for trans youth, which is just one
Speaker 1: reason why we fucking hated here. But another reason, and
Speaker 1: a big reason why we fucking hated here, is because
Speaker 1: it has also limited access for gender firming care for
Speaker 1: adults in the state of Florida. So when this bill
Speaker 1: goes into effect, it will make it so that nurse
Speaker 1: practitioners can no longer administer procedures for gender firming care,
Speaker 1: such as prescribing hormone replacement therapy, for example, which can
Speaker 1: be done online, can be done through telemedicine, and you
Speaker 1: go and you have your blood work done, a nurse
Speaker 1: practitioner in most places and every state but Florida is
Speaker 1: able to look at those lab results and administer your
Speaker 1: hormone replacement therapy accordingly. But that is no longer possible
Speaker 1: in the state of Florida. And according to Aaron Reid,
Speaker 1: which is the source of the article that I'm reading
Speaker 1: from today, and we'll link that in the footnotes. But
Speaker 1: according to Aaron Reid, who is a fellow trans woman
Speaker 1: and an independent journalist, please support her work. Eighty percent
Speaker 1: of gender refirming care in the state of Florida is
Speaker 1: performed by nurse practitioners, so that leaves eighty percent of
Speaker 1: the workforce that is treating trans patients in the state
Speaker 1: of Florida unable to do that work any longer. So,
Speaker 1: as you can imagine, there's a lot of adults who
Speaker 1: are scrambling to figure out how they're going to get
Speaker 1: their not only their procedures done, but also mainly this
Speaker 1: is going to affect HRT prescriptions and things like that.
Speaker 1: So people are trying to figure out where they're going
Speaker 1: to get their hormones from being taken off of hormones suddenly,
Speaker 1: not anything anyone should have to go through. The bill
Speaker 1: also includes changes to consent forms that now contain misinformation,
Speaker 1: calling gender firming care experimental and claiming that studies showing
Speaker 1: the improvements on mental health patients after such care is bogus,
Speaker 1: even stating that the quote Agency for Healthcare Administration has
Speaker 1: recognized that hormone or antagonist therapy may cause physical and
Speaker 1: psychological harm. It's important to note that the Agency for
Speaker 1: Healthcare Administration is the governing body that controls Medicaid in
Speaker 1: the state of Florida. And this goes in line with
Speaker 1: the announcement that they already made in September of last
Speaker 1: year that they would be removing hormone replacement therapy as
Speaker 1: a requirement for adult Medicaid patients because it was considered experimental.
Speaker 1: Now they're going even further with that, and it's just
Speaker 1: obvious that Florida lawmakers are trying their best to make
Speaker 1: the state completely inhospitable to trans people. So the state
Speaker 1: of Florida is literally at this point calling trans people
Speaker 1: just an experiment essentially, and that we're not worthy of
Speaker 1: care or bodily autonomy. So in two ways, that's why
Speaker 1: we fucking hated here. We're going to go on a
Speaker 1: quick break and when we come back, we'll get into
Speaker 1: some good news. Let's celebrate that, all right, and we're back.
Speaker 1: First thing I would like to celebrate Maryland. The state
Speaker 1: of Maryland just became the next state to entrine rights
Speaker 1: for gender affirming care and abortion access into law. Governor
Speaker 1: Moore signed a bill last Friday that quote requires that
Speaker 1: medically necessary gender affirming treatment be included in all state
Speaker 1: Medicaid plans and administered in a quote non discriminatory manner.
Speaker 1: Governor Moore said, in our state, no one should ever
Speaker 1: have to justify their humanity. Let's celebrate that. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Governor Moore. This is now our requirement of medicaid in
Speaker 1: twenty seven states in the US and banned in nine
Speaker 1: states for all ages. We're going to celebrate the twenty
Speaker 1: seven states which have protected this access. Let's celebrate that. Congratulations.
Speaker 1: And yeah, there are ten states that limit access for minors,
Speaker 1: nine that limit access for all ages, so Georgia being
Speaker 1: one of them. Oh, one thing I wanted to say
Speaker 1: is I'm just excited about Maryland because I'm going to
Speaker 1: Baltimore later this year for my ffs. So cool. Love that, Okay,
Speaker 1: And to keep up with our friend in Montana, Zoe Zephyr,
Speaker 1: just a couple of weekends ago at a queer prom
Speaker 1: who proposed to her girlfriend, Aaron Reid, who we just
Speaker 1: quoted her article earlier in the Why We Fucking Mate
Speaker 1: It your segment. So congratulations to Zoe's Ephyr and Aaron Reid.
Speaker 1: Let's celebrate that. Let's celebrate that gay people love their
Speaker 1: identical twin, and you know what, I support their right
Speaker 1: to find their twin and marry them anyway, can't wait
Speaker 1: for the wedding and for the last, but not least,
Speaker 1: the last thing I want to celebrate this week is
Speaker 1: I want to say goodbye. I want to give a
Speaker 1: last dance to our doll, the diva, Katara Rabash. Everyone
Speaker 1: say goodbye to Katara Rabaj Bye, Katara Nice, no and
Speaker 1: ya anyway. George Santos has been charged and arrested. He
Speaker 1: was first charged by the Justice Department and a federal probe,
Speaker 1: and he has since been arrested. I'm sure everyone knows
Speaker 1: about this by now, but I just want to say,
Speaker 1: the photos have been great, the memes have been great.
Speaker 1: I've just been enjoying the moment. So let's celebrate that.
Speaker 1: Let's celebrate another probably Russian probe going to jail. What
Speaker 1: was he? He was Jewish, he was gay, he was
Speaker 1: everything under the sun. I mean he was everything. Some
Speaker 1: people even think he's lying about being gay. So he's
Speaker 1: not Jewish. And his name isn't even George Santos. His
Speaker 1: name is Katara Ravage. So he's a compulsive liar. George Santos.
Speaker 1: We don't even know his name, we don't even know
Speaker 1: his identity. He's Jewish. His parents died in his weight
Speaker 1: who died in nine to eleven. His mom died in
Speaker 1: nine to eleven. Four of his employees died in the
Speaker 1: Pulse nightclub shooting. I mean, it's a good thing he's
Speaker 1: been arrested, because it seems like bad events tend to
Speaker 1: follow him everywhere he goes. So maybe now that he's
Speaker 1: locked up, bad things will stop happening to the people
Speaker 1: in his life, because it seems like the common thread
Speaker 1: was that they all knew George Santos and not apparently
Speaker 1: a good person to know. So sorry to that person.
Speaker 1: Sorry to George's cellmate. You know that's gonna suck. I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen to his cellmate. His
Speaker 1: sellmate is going to like die in like the worst
Speaker 1: prison riot of all time. Probably, So yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 1: We'll be following the kaitar Rivas story and maybe she'll
Speaker 1: be on the next season of All Stars. Who Knows?
Speaker 1: All Right, listeners, Well, that is it for this week's
Speaker 1: episode of Why We Fucking Hate It here, and let's
Speaker 1: celebrate that. Tune in on Wednesday for our rock and
Speaker 1: roll episode featuring the very cool, very talented Robin danger
Speaker 1: Fin sut I'll be in Nashville, bitches. Yeah mm hm
