These days, whenever I see a headline with “trans” and a “Supreme Court” in the same sentence, I brace for the worst.

I am so pleasantly surprised that we actually can count a W. This will not stop the anti-trans rhetoric or the bills being presented and passed, but, it is something. Of course, the 2 dissenting justices misgendered and otherwise belittled our existences—but they were in the minority, so fuck ‘em.

I need to get my birth certificate info correct, as I don’t know if I will be able to starting in 2027.

Also screw that third judge who wanted to carry water for a transphobic bill. Pulling out the knife slightly is not enough.
