My heart breaks every time I read about how ignorant people feel it’s their responsibility to interfere with parental rights and prevent trans children from fully becoming themselves.

I always appreciate your reporting, Erin! Do you have any suggestions for ways that out-of-state allies can help?

The phrasing for the social transition part also seems to be a direct attack on Representative Zooey Zephyr's ability to advocate for trans issues from her elected position.

No one is going to want to work in this state and companies will leave that is the economic future for these states
