Missouri is ground zero for the firehose of anti-trans legislation | Erin Reed | The Guardian
(Me: Mindless political hate and fear imperils civil society in Missouri…)
…One bill under consideration would allow pharmacists, desk workers and nurses, among others, to refuse to dispense medication or complete paperwork for transgender patients seeking gender-affirming care. Another bill would force trans youth already receiving treatment off their medication, eliminating a grandfather clause allowing them to continue.

However, in the eyes of the school, this threatened social cohesion and “divided” the students.

The Sun is out
It lights, then evaporates the snow
White clouds in a row
The blue to which bare branches reach out
