Republican-appointed judges reversed a ruling which blocked the ban, arguing with little evidence that gender-affirming care for trans adults was "dangerous," urging states not to fund what it spuriously described as "experimental procedures." It further claimed that trans people had become "disdainful of their sex" and claimed, again without evidence, that banning such provisions would "encourage citizens to appreciate their sex."
Access to Social Security benefits has never been easy, and we found again and again that access had gotten worse over a number of metrics.

When I moved in here it truly was my last resort. Since living here I feel like I have the same independent life that my friends have and I just don't want to lose that.

The same number of times I've tried to explain them, I've seen the WCAG guidelines presented in many contexts (articles, lectures, webinars, etc.) as a reference to be shared with teams so they can begin the work of implementing and correcting the accessibility of their digital products and services.
