Legislative leadership needs to direct its focus away from what's in people's pants towards what's in people's wallets as well as towards the quality of our education and healthcare.
I mentioned how genocidal scholars have recently warned that “… the attacks on transgender and nonbinary people in the U.S. represent a ‘genocidal’ attempt ‘to destroy a gender group.’” What I've written in this piece is an example of it happening at the state level.
"The rule, titled 'Combating Gender Ideology in Foreign Assistance, would impose sweeping conditions on U.S. foreign aid that effectively bar recognition of transgender people and the care they need to live safely and equally."
Love this perspective! You're so right, this legislative fixation on trans people truely harms everyone and wastes crucial bandwidth.
Thanks for the comment. More people need to realize how destructive this truly is, across so many aspects.

Erin in the Morning shared another example it occurring at the federal level - https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/trump-pressures-international-orgs - and it could have far reaching affects beyond the U.S.
