So, okay. When WI does whatever, some of us will still be around. Some of us will still be functional. Some of us will be employed, will have found community, will have accessed healthcare, whether legal or not.
WI can congratulate the ones who are left.

Sure. I acknowledged that people have put them in an awkward spot. The same people and people like them are hard at work everywhere making life more difficult -- sometimes lethal -- for trans people. This is not an unfamiliar dynamic.
