    The number of bills to restrict gender-affirming health care for transgender youths has grown from one in 2018 to 36 this year… Bills seeking to limit transgender sports participation have grown from zero in 2018 to 58 this year.

    based on disinformation about gender-affirming medical care, which is supported by all relevant accredited medical associations

    There is something very wrong with our political system if representatives can vote on a “medical issue” when all medical associations oppose it. I don’t know what the solution is, but this is wrong. There has to be some mechanism to prevent such abuse of majority power, especially when it harms minorities.
