Great context Rick. I tend to agree that the promises here are vectors, not chiselled reality.

Apparently $80 million promised for "gender affirming care" i.e., disrupting normal puberty, introducing possible endocrine disorders, cutting off healthy breasts, creating false genitals. This medicalization of identity confusion will likely create lifelong patients. Heaven help the children and adolescents offered such "care".

Excellent, clear-eyed analysis! Well done, Rick. I like the line about taking him seriously but not necessarily literally, a la Trump.
