And that's why "born this way" is not a particularly great justification. We should have rights because bodily autonomy and free expression, whether we were born this way or just took it up one day for funsies

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

“43 percent of voters were more likely to vote for a candidate who stands up for transgender people. Just 21 percent of voters would be less likely to support a candidate who supports trans rights.”
They are fine-tuning their Susan Collins approach. Impressive.

But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.
The one shot framework ended up making me crazy. "Oh, God, a whole episode with these people - no escape!" Style over substance.

They want a Kristallnacht where LGBTQ orgs, queer bars, and gender clinics are burned to the ground just like the Nazis they take inspiration from.
