This isn't Laramie.

I haven't had much interaction with Ms. Zephyr, but I have with Erin
Reed, her partner, they are not "comic relief", they are serious
intellects in the cause for trans rights.  You may think it's funny
for them to be who they are, but that'd tend to indicate a quaint
immaturity in yourself, what I call being a "phobe".  They are human
beings, and should be taken seriously.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
