Reactions from the ACLU on Skrmetti, line with my thinking: The decision is a little more limited and leaves many rulings against anti-transgender laws in tact. However, it also creates huge loopholes to target transgender people, and the medical care ban will cause horror.

I continue to speak out against every bill that attempts to remove trans people from public life. And I will continue to do so for as long as I draw breath. I hope one day the government will leave my people alone.

Breaking: Trump's full trans military ban has just dropped. Quickly reading it, it appears to be a full separation from the military for all transgender military members, and states being trans is inconsistent with "honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity." A sad day for this nation.

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired. This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all. Subscribe to support my journalism.
