    Double negative confused me for a second and I was sad. Opposes the ban! Want gender affirming care available. Excellent.

      Oh I missed that entirely. Sloppy writing, it should be arranged “opposes bans on gender affirming care”.

        Gotta get them clicks tho. Maybe we’re at the beginning of a transition from, “shocking and attention-grabbing headlines,” to, “attention-grabbing but also poorly written in a way that it’ll agitate an even wider wash of readers”

      I find it quite common (and confusing) for certain news types like policy, eg “party A reverses the disapproval to oppose the once-unacceptable ban”
