The conservative project always makes much more sense when you realize it's just run by upper middle class American christian nationalist who are basically completely fine in material position but furious the entire country doesn't bow to their weird cultural preferences.

fenway health capitulating to a non-binding statement by HRSA to end provision of trans care to people under 19 is just unbelievably spineless. they suck but for most people in the Eastern half of the state they are the first option. 弱虫
