The Seattle City Council unanimously approved an amendment to its budget on Wednesday that would reallocate $300,000 to fund resources for members of the trans community from across the country who wish to move to Seattle.
A leading Seattle Democrat argued for the amendment, claiming there is an “ongoing crisis and displacement of queer, transgender, and gender non-conforming people.”
“This amendment responds to the ongoing crisis and displacement of queer, transgender, and gender non-conforming people that are seeking refuge from hostile jurisdictions from across the country,” Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck said at the Finance, Native Communities, and Tribal Governments Committee meeting on August 4.
The $300,000 would go from the city’s JumpStart fund in the Human Services Department to LGBTQ community organizations that will provide emergency shelter, food access, employment support, and other services to trans-refugees. According to the report, the $300,000 is coming from a budget dedicated to building homes in Seattle’s Northgate neighborhood.
Since the project no longer needs the funds, council members have decided what to do with the excess money. Rather than directing the funds toward other problems facing Seattle, the city council chose to spend the money in expanding services for the city’s growing LGBTQ population.
“I just think it’s absolutely ridiculous that in a city that has a housing crisis, sex-trafficking problem, a city that has a serious drug problem, you guys want to give $300,000 away in the name of fictional genocide that’s not occuring,” Ari, a de-transitioner, said at the city council meeting on August 11.
Ari said he also moved from state-to-state like other trans-migrants, eventually landing in Seattle 10 years ago.
“But they’ve moved [the new batch of trans-refugees] because women, adult human females have said they’re not comfortable with males in their bathrooms, in their prisons, in their rape shelters,” Ari said at the meeting. “So they’ve come here to hide so they can oppress women. That’s what it’s really about. And I just think it’s absolutely ridiculous a city council with this many women on it do not know what women are.”
After the public testimony segment concluded, Rinck said she wanted to make it clear to members of the transgender community that they belong in Seattle.
“I want to state to our queer and trans community directly: You belong in Seattle,” Rinck said. “I am glad you are here. You deserve dignity and respect and we are going to do the work to live up to our promise of being a welcoming city.”
Seattle has become one of the hubs for LGBTQ activism. From rainbow-painted sidewalks to Pride-themed Seattle Storm basketball games, the city advertises itself as being one of the most welcoming cities for LGBTQ people.
But that welcome has also raised questions about the city’s broader approach to gender-related issues.
A recent report published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services listed over 200 hospitals that may have engaged in insurance fraud to conduct sex-rejecting procedures on minors. Seattle Children’s Hospital was among the hospitals named on the list.
According to the report, doctors ordered sex-rejecting procedures using diagnostic codes, like “endocrine disorder, unspecified” so that patients could get insurance coverage for their treatment.
“During this same timeframe, nearly $11 million was billed for puberty blockers, including to Medicaid and Medicare, for hundreds of patients between the age of 13 and 17 with a diagnostic code for precious puberty,” the executive summary said. “By definition, anyone 13 or older cannot have a diagnosis of precocious puberty and should not be given puberty blockers at that age for this indication.”

Burn this bitch down””
And I quote.
Well, what about the need for helping Palestinian “refugees”?
OUTstanding, Seattle. You go girls, or boys, or whatever.
Spend $300k for trans refugees from across the nation. By the time you’re done scimming and scamming, you can give them thirty bucks and free month of Transit Pass.
Pure virtue signaling.
$300K will be gone in a heartbeat. Without specific goals, the money will end up in Councilmembers’ pockets very quickly.

how does this happen to a city, state or country?
Seattle is F*cked!
🎶 You don’t have to live like a refugee ~ Tom Petty
By the way...
Downtown Seattle has more vacant office space (30%) than any other major city in the USA.
Can't imagine why.
Our new female Mayor - socialist Katie Wilson (white - age 44) - has 15 years of experience as - wait for it - a Political Organizer!
Well we know how these “refugees” will vote when they register in WA. This is clearly making the effort to establish a voting bloc to keep the socialists well-entrenched in Seattle, based on the politics of sexual identity. Where the city goes, so goes the state, and that’s where the battle begins. Secessionist movements will be incited, either counties leaving the state, the state joining with Canada, or a combination of both.
can we send all of Texas’s mentally ill sexual deviants there?
Seattle is a nice place, too bad it's occupied by seemingly normal people who routinely vote for abnormal outcomes.
So Seattle is going to steal from the taxpayers to keep mentally ill people happy...? Wonderful!!!
Finance, Native Communities, and Tribal Governments Committee? Can’t the Indians take care of their own issues? And when is Seattle going to have a committee for the Martian’s community? Their Here!!!
How many virtue points do you get for $300,000?
Sooooooooooooooo damned glad my wife and I left that cesspool of Satan back in 2006. My best friend still lives in Olympia, WA, and is suffering behind enemy lines. He stays because his son and daughter-in-law and grandbabies are there. My wife lived most of her life in Seattle and went to West Seattle HS. I retired from the military up there. We loved to travel, hike, sail, and just get into the mountains and out on the Pacific beaches. It is really one of the most beautiful places on earth. UNFORTUNATELY, it has become a garden of Satan and his demons. Some of the greatest wilderness areas, the marine wildlife, beauty of the Pacific Northwest being polluted by these barbarians of the liberal communist movement is beyond sad. Glad we moved back to my home area in Alabama.
Loss of morals I would say.

They get elected and think they can do whatever they want . The taxpayers should bring back Tar and Feather then riding out of town on a Rail
