All of this is designed to distract you from the very simple fundamentals of this issue: Gender-affirming care for adults is wildly beneficial; all evidence indicates that it is also beneficial for children; there is no reason to believe it's being provided too quickly or without assessment.

Important to note that disabled people get used as pawns in abortion debates and this kind of shit is used as proof that they’re ’saving disabled babies.’ They are not. They are causing needless pain, suffering, and risks, including the chance of infertility or severe future pregnancy complications.

I'm still marveling at the political calculation from Albany Democrats that we shouldn't toll the small number of suburban drivers into the city so, to make up the $1 billion a year in funding that would have taken in, we'll tax everyone who works in Manhattan. [chef's kiss emoji]
