Today's Skrmetti opinion is devastating to transgender children and families who live in states with cruel laws barring gender affirming care. But it is very important to recognize this opinion does not give private entities, legislatures, or the President carte blanche to discriminate! 1/x

The idea that courts will stop all of this is evidence of the crisis, not a reassurance that it wont arrive

I think part of the reason the NYT (et al.) don't yet see this as a crisis is its wildly erroneous belief that "nearly all intragovernmental government disputes eventually wind up" in federal courts. (1/3) "https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/opinion/trump-constitutional-crisis.html?smid=url-share

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB". The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

A page with the title "LGB Travelers"

Important point of clarification from Chase Strangio: there is a history of de jure discrimination against transgender people, in terms of exclusions from the military, criminal bans on cross dressing, and other laws. (Don't forget marriage restrictions).
