Surprising no one, it's revealed that the democratic party is filled with bigots with values more akin to fascism than to a liberal democracy.

Both public and private insurers would be forbidden from paying for this care. For anyone.
No surgeries.
No hormones.
No puberty suppressants.
No trans people.

We hid, woodworking we called it, if we could. We clustered when hiding wasn't an option. The clusters became communities. These developed outreach, education, aid.
