@bug hi bug im kit
Native American healthcare
The IHS is fucking hot garbage and natives deserve better :(. I know people on the IHS who definitely aren't getting the care they need or deserve.
The IHS only get about 60% of the funding they need (which means people go without care unless it's dire), and it's not even an entitlement like Medicare or Social Security, so they rely on congressional and presidential goodwill. Said goodwill at present is definitely lacking right now with the whole DAPL thing.
Hey, FYI: There's a charity speedrun stream benefiting the Transgender Law Center this weekend!

The runners include GDQ alumni like PrincessProto and EnchantressOfNumbers, and the game line up is actually really unique with a heavy focus on romhacks and randomizers. The final block on Sunday night is runs/races of all three of the Zelda 1, 2 and 3 randomizers in a row.

Canada's trans rights law, C-16
@bug @bug I think part of that is that our existing human rights framework was pretty solid. Still, this was something like the third or fourth attempt to get a bill like this passed. The House of Commons kept voting for them, but the Senate leadership always found a way to amend them in some horrible way or just delay things until an election was called
