Dunno if it was the accumulation of everything, but the under-19 trans care ban tonight hit me harder than I was expecting.

I appreciate Chris Geidner on this:

There will be challenges, and Law Dork will have coverage of them. It is, however, a failure of humanity, governing, advocacy, and journalism that we have gotten to this point.

Those who were insistently “just asking questions” and unceasingly pushing the needle further right — in addition to those who encouraged and then exploited that for their explicitly discriminatory or hateful aims — all bear a measure of responsibility for this, for making trans teens — and, with them, trans adults — fear for their lives tonight.

I'm with you. It's incredibly scary. I'm scared in the abstract for so many people but also in the very visceral for my kid and their friends.
