On February 17, more than 50 activists with the Gender Liberation Movement (GLM) and ACT UP blockaded the entrance to HHS headquarters in the Hubert H. Humphrey Building, representatives for the coalition said in a press release obtained via email. The groups organized the action to protest three HHS draft rules unveiled in December, which would prohibit Medicare, Medicaid, and State Children’s Health Insurance Program plans from funding gender-affirming care for minors and some 18-year-olds. The protest took place on the final day of public comment for the rules.
Twenty-five people, including GLM cofounder Eliel Cruz, were arrested by Department of Homeland Security agents during the protest, Cruz told Them via email on Wednesday. They were then handed over to D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and jailed for around twelve hours, Cruz said, alleging that most of those arrested were denied phone calls to attorneys or family members.

Enjoy the punity.
Can anyone imagine in their wildest imaginations that this issue would be controversial even 10 years ago?
Spay and Neuter crowd ?
Members of GLM are G L U M.
Foundational beliefs: You are the wrong gender. A mistake was made. God screwed up. You are not supposed to be this way. We are going to fix you with surgery, hormones and counseling. We will make you into something different. And that is how we will affirm your gender.
Violent Insurrection is suddenly OK with the Left.
No, never imagined this level of massive mental illness.
I guess the bastards burned out on their ICE riots and have moved on to the next commie cause.
Transgenderism is nothing but an elaborate costume, sometimes a flesh costume. I liken it to those extreme, horrific body piercings and modifications you sometimes see on social media. It has nothing to do with health and everything to do with self-adulation.
Exactly. Good grief - gimme a break with BS like “ Gender Liberation Movement.”
That's not activists protesting. Its the beginnings of another paid riot. Its good that they were arrested.
Give us government money so we can mutilate children!!
They do love their Orwellian Newspeak, don't they?
Never use the Newspeak term “gender-affirming care” without quotation marks.
Take them right too the sanitarium .
My simple live and let live rule.
I don’t care what you look like.
I don’t care what you think.
I don’t care what you believe.
I don’t care what you do.
But DO NOT compel me in any way to honor it, celebrate it, participate in it, or PAY FOR IT!
If you want to mangle your body to satisfy some sexually perverse fetish, do it with YOUR MONEY!
My sentiments precisely.
And it describes a major political party!!!
I hope law enforcement assesses which of these 50 are dangerous psychotics, BEFORE they go on killing sprees. Odds are, at least one of them already posts threats and has a manifesto.
The foot soldier delusionaries dispatched by the Mutilation Industrial Complex are protesting... cuts?
They really need to make up their minds.
