A bill in Michigan would make "consent[ing] to, obtain[ing], or assist[ing] with a gender transition procedure for a child" -- even short-term puberty blockers -- the equivalent of beating a kid to the point of brain damage. reason.com/2022/10/13/michig… via @reason

I have lived within a 45-min drive of Dearborn for most of my life. My family tree runs through there, yet there are many things I still don’t know about this layered, complex community w/a delicate history. Out-of-town, politicized hot takes turn locals into pawns. Pls don’t.
