"The Court’s decision is disconnected from the reality facing transgender people ..."

While also, and unironically, the court's decision is reconnecting with reality facing everyone else.

Edited to add:

“Study after study has shown that trans people who are misgendered face alarming and life-threatening rates of depression and suicidal behavior."

The old "placate me or I'll kill myself" tactic. So, it's not all just a big social-contagion mixed in with genuine mental illness, and the people who want to kill themselves over pronouns are not severely mentally ill, or are they admitting they are severely mentally ill but the "herd immunity" is where no non-approved gender-BS-disaffirming pronoun is ever heard again?

Also, where are the EMS reports, police reports, hospital reports, & coroners' reports documenting all the suicidal behaviors & actual suicides of these people? Where are all the bodies of all the people who supposedly have committed suicide? Where are the vigils & obits?

Where I live in the US, anyone who makes a suicide attempt or indicates they are thinking of trying to commit suicide gets hauled off to a hospital by EMS & police & held for observation. And all unexplained deaths have to be investigated.

They seem to think "suicidal behaviors" means threatening others, "Do as I say or I'll kill myself."

If you'll pardon the vulgarity, this scene from Blazing Saddles comes to mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_JOGmXpe5I

I like how the article did not include any of the unanimous court's 42-page rationale for the decision, just TRA quotes. They are not even trying to pretend news is anything more than one-sided propaganda.
