It feels like a lot of backsliding right now but history has shown progress always takes two steps forward and one step back. Things, in general, keep getting better for each generation, on average.

If we could figure out some quality or feature that was common to all the states where this happened or, conversely, common to all the states where this did not happen, that might help suggest a strategy to correct and/or prevent this

The reason Erin Reed sucks isnt because of any potential AI use, its because shes a highly influential in the trans community woman who is also a florid panic merchant who sells doom for clicks and subscriptions.

I don't believe that every trans person in America should immediately be made aware of every single evil bill introduced by some podunk state rep in a random red state they don't live in I don't think that's healthy. I have always needed to see a likelihood of advancement before I would write it up

Peter Magyar is currently enacting a Liberal Currents fantasy where he amends the constitution to ban anyone associated with the old regime from ever holding office again and is somehow polling at 68% (he won with 53%) and I’m not saying that’s possible anywhere else but Dems should like, ask him

Read this again when someone tells you that the democrats are gearing up to go transphobic or don’t fight for us.

Do they settle because it costs a lot of money to litigate? Because they're at risk of losing federal funding? What are the ways that the Justice Department is able to coerce these hospitals?
Rep. Grace Meng: I mean, all of the above, right? I'm the top Democrat on the Appropriations
subcommittee that oversees all the DOJ funding. And we have seen this as we've been negotiating our budgets with them. They tried to include over 50 anti-GBTQ riders, what we call poison pills, into the budget. And we, as House Democrats, were able to take them all out. But they wanted to insert 52 pieces of wording and legislation that would have restricted medically necessary health care for transgender people, basically allowing taxpayer-funded discrimination against same-sex couples, blocking any non-discriminatory and DEl-type efforts.
But they are persistent, so they try it through the budget process, and they can't do that. Obviously, they're trying to cheat by coercing these hospitals:

the thing about anticipating some future bus-throw from the Democrats of trans people based on how Labour behaved, among other things, is that the left *in this country* has *already* bus thrown us! in 2024! they expressly said that we were all genociders if we voted for our own rights!
