This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.
So don't let it go away. Keep it going.

so, in short:
• if we all get loud for trans rights and actually organize a movement, we can win this one
• if we don’t, then a de facto ban on care is assured in us law within the next six months
in other words, you found yourself in history
now’s a moment to be the hero
really.
