    The Obama administration did this in his last year in office too, and Trump immediately tossed it. A bandaid is better than nothing, but it’s still a bandaid and it can still be ripped off by the next Republican in office.

            Every single thing you listed will also affect trans people, in addition to the policies that exclusively target trans people.

            It is completely unnecessary to minimize the harm caused by anti-trans policies in favor of talking about ‘more important’ problems. People can care about more than one thing at once, and if your right to exist in public was being eroded out from under you that is not the tune you’d be singing.

            Let me be crystal clear, I’m not interested in hearing any more about why and what other issues you think are more important than trans youth being forced to attend schools where they can’t safely use the restroom. This is not an invitation to double down. I have had to help too many trans people fleeing conservative states to feel like trans youth who can’t even escape their situation is ‘the least of our problems.’

                It is free to not come into a post about bathroom restrictions faced by trans youth and to tell a trans person that trans peoples’ rights to equal bathroom access are the least of our problems if Trump is re-elected.

                If you view doing that as being on my side please reevaluate. Or at least stop bothering me about it.
