It’s striking to me that the Court could have just rendered a decision based on the law and the contract, but decided to add that part about respecting diversity and LGBT people. Almost like a warning shot to anyone else who would try to pull this shit.

Good stuff.

At a time when LGBT rights are criticized outside of the west as being ‘western decadence’, this is a great win

The US has gotten so used to not obeying laws they get surprised when the laws of physics drags one of their fighter jets or ospreys out of the sky.

Like damn the laws of physics aren’t like the Geneva conventions you can’t just not adhere to them if you don’t want to.

This is a big step. Even for Asia as a whole. You all need to watch the attached video. Not the subject of the article but the journey of a trans man from China going to Thailand for top surgery and how happy he was just to be accepted by his family and to have a nurturing support group brought a tear of happiness. This is progress. Savor it.
