That might be a concern if a straight-line projection of current trends that worry you is realized and comes into being at a flat general level, but from a thorough grounding in American history I don’t expect that! Even without specifics in mind I know I have a sense of how long things take and how long you get between phases of the cycle and how things get traded off against each other

To set aside the fact that we are talking about fucking Oregon, and to even reestablish themselves as a party that sometimes gets power the Republicans have to take this opportunity to prove and accommodate themselves to the state. I honestly don’t even see the state banning youth transition unless we’re in a position the country is already.

They might let school boards in traditionalist-as-in-1986 areas be unaccomodating.

And if any of my trans friends were like, 14 living in Southern Oregon I might be more concerned, but they aren’t! Also I don’t have trans family!

Also since the personality change where COVID wiped out my anxiety I’m physically incapable of getting worried about things! That’s not hyperbole!
