I didn’t know the trans care bans featured language like this. I’m seeing red. It’s the “no kid should be made to feel bad about being white” argument applied to gender. Fox News-poisoned brainshit. The framing assumes that any contrary information is a de facto attack on whiteness/cisness.

The article is heartbreaking because it’s full of statements given by trans kids who are terrified and despairing about losing care and going back to how they felt before. The heartbreak should be persuasive, but the fear and sadness are the intended effect. Conservatives see it as a win.
