Officials say it’s the only city-funded shelter of its kind in the country and will help 150 transgender New Yorkers as the Trump administration has rolled back rights for the trans community, barring access to medical care, military service and federal documents that reflect their gender identity. The city is fully funding the facility in Long Island City, which will cost $65 million to operate through 2030.

New York is becoming a clear example of why, minus the heat issue, one does not want to end up in hell.

Pray tell, just where does this "nonprofit", Destination Tomorrow get its money, huh?

This is sick, stupid, and evil.

Unlike a mental hospital, the inmates of this one will be encouraged to explore and develop their insanity.

So then, if a homeless person is seeking shelter, but is ‘gender binary’, then they don’t get in ???

I HATE that the media gets away with lying. No one is being health care. I wish people in conservative media would push back

Concentrating mentally ill people where their delusions will be indulged. What could possibly go wrong?

So you take a bunch of mentally ill people who are sex-obsessed,
Many of whom being homeless are drug addicted,, from a cohort that is far more violent per capita than the general population, and you have them all live together. What could go wrong

Why are that many transgenders homeless? They’re broke after all the surgeries and medications?

“They’re broke after all the surgeries and medications?”

Their minds are broken, they can’t operate in normal society. I’m surprised they haven’t started communes.
