The Obama administration did this in his last year in office too, and Trump immediately tossed it. A bandaid is better than nothing, but it’s still a bandaid and it can still be ripped off by the next Republican in office.

Makes me wonder what took Biden so long to bring it back… But better late than never!

Takes him a full minute to stand up from a chair, we’re lucky he even got around to this.

If Trump gets voted into office, I think that will be the least of anyone’s problems at this time. The good news is that an extra 4 years will get a lot of people through school

I’m well aware that everyone deprioritizes the health and well-being of trans youth but thanks for the reminder I guess?

it doesn’t mean its not a priority, however, Trump will do what he needs to stay in power. He’ll empower bigots, he’s been blunt about wanting to be a dictator, and he’ll release criminals who work for him.

He’ll also likely give people guns who shouldn’t have them, and introduce measures which may lead to more mass shootings instead of taking them away.

The last time he was in office, he had a huge effect here in Australia and we’re now dealing with more anti-vax idiots than ever, and more racists.

So yeah. I’d argue that more dead kids is a bigger priority. I’d argue dead kids and trans people (since they’re probably more likely to be targeted), is a bigger concern. It’s actually crazy that such laws are needed in the first place honestly

By the way, I know it doesn’t say much about me, but I actually do a lot of rock climbing, and we actually have a huge LGBTIQ community (which is awesome)
