But itβs not a normal court, and so the future for trans rights looks bleak.

Daylighting (the practice of creating open space around cross-walks to promote visibility for both pedestrians and drivers) is being introduced before NYC council. Long way to go, but I can't overstate how beneficial this would be for promoting pedestrian safety in the city

While the make-up of the court is daunting, this is what gives me hope. So grateful for all the trans lawyers, activists, kids, and allies today and every day.
I know too many people who wish the Trump assassination attempts had been successful. Now a significant number are viewing the assassin in this case as a sort of folk hero. This is the sort of breakdown in social order that occurs when the "little guy" has been taking it from all sides for too long

there are a lot of people who are profiting from the causes of declining trust, and none of them are going to like the consequences
unfortunately, neither will the rest of us
