I don’t hold out much hope with conservative Supreme Court I would be extremely surprised if they voted in favor of transgender community
It’s great that the roller derby team received good news
As for England's long waits I hope that their courts hold them accountable it is an absolute shame and it disgusts me that the trans community is put to such pain and suffering by an immoral government
Heartbreaking and crushing to see another trans person dying as a result of state-sanctioned political violence. “We’re doing this to protect them…” is what they tell us! Absolutely shameful!!
I wish I could believe that anyone would ever spend a single day in jail for what they're doing to us, here or over on TERF Island. But I don't. Justice is a privilege, it seems, not a right... and we don't have it.
Because women totally don't get injured playing roller derby when there are only cis women playing <eyerolls>. I am, again, smelling a long-term goal of pulling the rug out from under women's sports generally, in which the exclusion of trans women is just ('just') an early step.
I continue to hold roller derby and its players in high regard for standing up fiercely in solidarity with their trans teammates.
The predictable, indeed expected outcome of Chiles v. Salazar clearly shows both the utter hypocrisy and overt bigotry of the Scurrilous SCOTUS Six. That they are basing decisions on neither the law nor the facts nor the Constitution but on their reactionary Christian nationalist ideology and personal biases can no long be rationally denied.
In Skrmetti, they decided that states CAN ban health care for youth that affirms their gender identity. Now there is every reason to expect they will declare states CANNOT ban conversion therapy, the pseudo-science "health care" for youth that actively denies their gender identity. Affirm? Can ban. Deny, reject? Must allow.
And I expect they will do it by overlapping "speech" (and perhaps "religious freedom") and "regulated conduct" such that the latter impacts the former in a way they rejected in Skrmetti, so producing a fatuous mix of sophistry, hypocrisy, and disrespect of precedent in which the decision preceded the argument.
In other words, a pretty standard ruling from the Scurrilous Six.

Why does this exclude IA+ people?

I weep for our future as a nation and a people.
Was 224 years supposed to be days?
No it's correct and yes it's 3 lifetimes or more.
It's demand over availability, in other parts of the country it's as low as 12 years
...which is still an obscenity.
Yes I'm not sure what the cause is, but the government runs healthcare there so it's most likely the trouble.
In our broken system I can get an appointment the same day or the next 🤔
Wow!
