Cis people should be scared about this too. Things like supplementing estrogen (for woman after they have gone through menopause) or testosterone is a quite normal thing. Im betting my ass, that this regulations will affect these things too.
While I understand it’s not ok to give in here, this is just an attempt to move the battle. There’s no need to justify defending human rights here (for any decent humans) but don’t let it distract us. We can’t waste time arguing this. Don’t let them move the goalposts. This is just “no” and return to the larger fight
Laws don’t bind the in-group
Until they move the in-group. Which they’ll do if they continue to get their way. They have to keep projecting power like this to keep this up, and they’ll continue to grind through subgroups of the population to do it.
The in-group is wide enough that the people at the edges are hit with the splatter when the guy at the top takes another dump.
If he makes it illegal to even provide estrogen or testosterone to patients, hospitals won’t stock it.
You’re not wrong, but you forgot that the in-group always shrink.
Also, it is usual for fascists to throw others “under the bus” as a way to save their own face.
Except that the in-group is constantly shifting, to ensure there’s always an enemy to rally the masses against. The only consistently protected group is the rich.
