minus-square@moistclumplink114•8 months agoDouble negative confused me for a second and I was sad. Opposes the ban! Want gender affirming care available. Excellent.
minus-square@someguy3link18•8 months agoOh I missed that entirely. Sloppy writing, it should be arranged “opposes bans on gender affirming care”.
minus-squaretwelve20two linkfedilink1•8 months agoGotta get them clicks tho. Maybe we’re at the beginning of a transition from, “shocking and attention-grabbing headlines,” to, “attention-grabbing but also poorly written in a way that it’ll agitate an even wider wash of readers”
minus-square@VoilaChihuahualink11•8 months agoSame! “Supports care” would have been an easier concept, though a little different from “opposes ban” I guess…
