    At the same time, families across the country face excruciating decisions to relocate to a different State to protect their children from dangerous and hateful anti-LGBTQI+ laws, which target transgender children, threaten families, and criminalize doctors and nurses. These bills and laws attack our most basic values and freedoms as Americans: the right to be yourself, the right to make your own medical decisions, and the right to raise your own children. Some things should never be put at risk: your life, your safety, and your dignity.

    OK, then maybe you should rule that no state can have these terrible laws. That'd be more effective than your whole ~thoughts and prayers~ routine. You can do that, right? You're president of the entire United States of America, right?
