      Jesus, dude, it gives trans teens a little more time with their medication. It’s not nothing and it’s not where they’re stopping. Learn how to take the wins you can.

        Does it though? My point is that the administration is just ignoring the courts at this point, and the more the courts get in their way, the less trump is going to concern himself with what they say. Court injunctions are great if they work, and that remains to be seen.

          Trans people’s rights being used as a political bargaining chip with the right is in vogue now, I guess? “Self-censorship for thee and noise for me” is a very unproductive strategy in the long run, and no doubt amplifies the percentage of non-voters.

          Not that you want to leave them behind, I’m honestly not sure what you’re saying here. It seems like you’re making an argument to only block things that are really important because Trump will only give us a limited amount of takesiesbacksies, which would be a hell of a statement about something meets the technical definition of a genocide against Trans people.

            What I’m saying is that Americans who still have faith in the system need to wake the fuck up. The US is a failed state. trump is going to keep doing whatever he wants, he’s going to ignore the courts, and the checks and balances that are supposed to stop him are all controlled by republicans who aren’t going to do a fucking thing.
