It’s always a throwaway story. A state will ban trans healthcare and AP or whoever will say “Ohio banned trans healthcare today” and nothing else. There is no coverage of the impact these bills are having or the ongoing fight for trans rights in these states.

Don't quit. It's not worth quitting something that'll make you happy because it's not working fast enough. Progress takes time. You can do things to speed things up now, like dissolving your pills under your tongue if you take pills, but it's always going to take time. Stick with it, you got this!
