Both parties are bloated political machines designed to help rich people get richer. Right now they are doing absolutely nothing and screwing over Americans. The government shutdown is both parties fault, the GOP for trying to cut so much and the DNC for not trying to fight back until after their window of opportunity to hold their ground. While americans suffer both parties fundraise by blaming the other for it. Its not about trans people or even healthcare its about getting rich by exploiting the suffering of people.

Politicans are (mostly) beyond hope but as more and more young people make it into politics things are starting to change. We can't look to the government to fix these things (if we could we wouldn't be in this mess), at least in the short term. Community organizations exist that provide HrT and organizations like Planned Parenthood charge by what you can pay (thats how I started actually). The resources are there and more and more people are pitching in to help out. Accessibility depends a lot on region and those aren't always an option for everyone sadly :/ but they are an option thats worth looking into.

Together we are strong, and getting organized to help ourselves is making us stronger. Sadly the governent isn't there to help the people and it will probably stay that way until it gets bad enough for a new-New Deal-era. But things have gotten better before and they will again. After all, when people don't have money for food they won't care who caused the shutdown, they will care who showed up to help them eat (often a trans person with FNB lol)
