beautiful princess with a disorder

other people already love you and choose you. you just have to choose them back. you can't make yourself someone else's choice. love is not control. to be chosen by someone is wonderful and it's temporary. but that it's temporary is why it matters.

if someone chooses you, they make that choice each day. a good relationship, a good friendship, a good love they all mean choosing each other every day. baking the love, fresh like bread. choices made under duress aren't choices. love isn't a locked door. come in and help me or leave and help you or come back tomorrow when you're ready I'll still have bread and butter for you then.

Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"

The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.
