Transgender individuals are acutely aware of this. Many in our community have been cautioning for years about the direction we’re headed. Consequently, recent surveys reveal that approximately 260,000 transgender individuals have already relocated to different states — a significant 8% of the entire trans population (estimated to number between 1.5-3 million, or 0.5-1% of the US population). Moreover, an additional 40% are contemplating such a move. When factoring in that these individuals often relocate with their families, this shift becomes comparable to some of the most significant migrations in American history.

This is the actual goal. Republicans don't necessarily care about forcing us to detransition or commit suicide; don't get me wrong, they love it when that happens, but the real goal is to force us to relocate so we can't vote against them. This is a shot across the bow in the disintegration of the United States, along with abortion rights and other "culture war" bullshit. Soon, enough of us will move that they can push for even more extreme psycho shit, and then those who couldn't afford to move before will be forced to become refugees.

transgender youth and adults aren’t entitled to their medication, arguing such treatment is not “deeply rooted in this nation’s history and traditions"

Neither are Antibiotics, Chemotherapy, In vitro fertilisation, Viagra. Those are all very recent additions to the medical community, but aren't "deeply rooted in the nation's history and traditions". To say nothing of computers/radio/cell-phones/electric cars/etc.

What a horse-shit excuse they are offering.

By their definition, nothing new can EVER happen since the only way for something become rooted in history/tradition, is to have it be part of it for a long time, then it BECOMES history/tradition.

And you know they won't stop there. How long before your personal life comes under their scrutiny?
