TFSS was incredibly grateful to join the San Diego City Council and our community partners in recognition of Transgender History Month. Every August we uplift the lives and stories of trans people throughout history and through every experience that has shaped our community into the vibrant and resilient community it is today. This proclamation marks August as Trans History Month in San Diego, and honors our impact on the city and around the world. 🏳️‍⚧️

BREAKING: Today, CMS finalized a rule that prohibits federal Medicaid and CHIP funding from covering gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth under 19.

To be clear: This rule does not end gender-affirming care—but it creates a devastating barrier for trans youth and families who depend on Medicaid and CHIP.

Healthcare decisions belong to patients, families, and doctors—not politicians. We are working with national partners to understand the full impact of this rule and invite families who are affected to reach out to our Medical Navigation team at [email protected] for support.

We stand with trans youth. We stand with their families. And we will not stop fighting for their right to receive the care they need and deserve.

We're especially grateful to the Foundation for awarding TFSS a grant in support of our work.

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us keep this work going! 💙
