Skrmetti: Yes, that big anti-trans ruling is terrible. There's also a bigger problem. On Wednesday, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in one of the biggest trans rights cases of the last decade. States, the court ruled, can ban gender-affirming care for minors. It was a stunning decision and a major setback for trans rights, but it was hardly a surprise. After what felt like many years of forward motion, the trans rights movement has been weathering extreme blowback—much of it aimed at young people. In a nation as polarized as the United States, and with such a robust reactionary right, there was likely no way to entirely avoid the toxic politicization of trans health care. But for those of us who support that care, our defenses may have been stronger with a more nuanced approach—and if our country had better health care to begin with. As we chart a way forward in a country that is in a period of right-wing retrenchment and abject hostility toward trans people, it’s worth reminding Americans writ large that this issue isn’t just about a vulnerable minority group (although of course it is about a vulnerable minority group). It’s about a health care system that has failed not just trans people, but most of us, and a right-wing movement full of blatant hypocrites who claim they want to protect trans kids
