Good. This is why I donate thousands to the ACLU, even though I strongly disagree with them on issues like free speech for Nazis (I’m not making this statement to get into this in this unrelated thread). They are the best positioned and best resourced group to take this kind of thing on. If needed, I hope the HRC hops in too.

Hospitals need to realize they operate (no pun intended) for the benefit of the community, and that their legal liability is completely on the table when they shirk a responsibility because it is politically expedient. I really want the hospitals in states that are banning gender affirming surgery and abortions to be sued by the ACLU, HRC, and the BBC and JVN for all I care. The Biden admin started to do that but I haven’t heard of any recent developments and so I’m not sure where the cases are.
