The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

In the pink banner there is white font that states, "Support HB 5492, Rep. Katie Stuart,SB 3525, Sen. Lakesia Collins Expand Access to Hormone Therapy" Below the banner there is black font that states, "Monthly visits to the pharmacy can be burdensome for many individuals, especially folks who live in rural communities, without access to transportation, who are low-income, and other populations who have historically faced barriers to health care. Hormone therapy is used to address many essential health needs like gender-affirming care, menopause, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), hyperandrogenism, and cancer." After this line, there is bolded text that says, "Ensuring uninterrupted access to hormone therapy is lifesaving health care."

These bills will give health care providers the freedom to determine an appropriate treatment plan in partnership with their patients, and put the decision about prescription length back where it belongs, allowing patients treated with hormone therapy to request 12-month refills of their prescriptions." To the right of this paragraph, there are two pink circles a syringe and a pill. Below these, there is a pink bubble with yellow font that states, "The Bottom Line" and bold black font that states, "Illinois should protect essential health care by making sure folks have secure access to their medications and supplies."

You do not have to accept repeat Covid infections as inevitable. Mitigations work. Layers work best. Get your booster. Clean & ventilate the air. Test and stay home when sick. Perhaps most important of all, wear a well fitted N95. It protects you & those around you. Community care can save us!

We ran into trans Rep. Zephyr in front of SCOTUS today. “If your daughter is going through precocious puberty, she can get puberty blockers. If your daughter is trans, she can’t” The discrimination behind gender-affirming care bans was highlighted, as they are only affecting trans youth.
