US Rep. Emily Randall (D-WA) - Dec 18, 2025. Here’s the full 3-minutes on YouTube: If I sound angry, it's because I am. From the description:

LGBTQ+ kids and their parents deserve better than the disgusting words and dangerous policy from my Republican colleagues.

Here’s a transcript:

This behavior is appalling. It's dangerous. It's evil. It is evil to seek to deny life-saving care from Children who are more at risk than any others.

I spend a lot of time in LGBTQ clubs in high schools, talking to Young People who are shocked, when I come in and tell them that, as a Queer Woman, I'm a member of Congress.

And they say, "Do you know any Trans People your age?"

Because they don't believe that they will make it to 40. They don't believe that they will make it to 50 or 60. They don't believe that they have a future, because they are watching the Floor, and they listen to the words that come out of our mouths, and they know that half of the People in this chamber do not care if they survive.

    As someone who has never heard of her, I like her already.

  • I have found that more people than I expected have come out as trans. They seem happier, at least for themselves, even if the world gets a little meaner towards them. I hope these dark times don’t stay.

  • I'm pretty sure there are millions of people that Congress doesn't care if they survive

  • As a trans man, I can say that it's not just the trans kids who don't believe they have a future anymore. I regularly have the thought "it doesn't matter, the fascists are going to kill me anyway."
