A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual
PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

This is fundamentally why this capitulation or compromise game doesn't work. The anti trans side doesn't want some "reasonable" compromise on sports or other issues.
They see trans people as less than human who should be eradicated from society. You can't compromise with that.

This is the final step on the road to authoritarian fascism.
If the President can rule by decree and cannot be scrutinized or reviewed by the other two branches, then this experiment in democracy is done.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

1. The far right is falsely spreading that a new study shows that surgery "doubles depression" for transgender people.
This is an egregious misreading of the study, which does not look at transgender people before and after surgery.
