By Gwendolyn Ann Smith| Bay Area Reporter Verified When it comes to the struggle for trans protections, there's one unusual quirk I've noticed over the last few years. I've found it interesting, if disturbing, and — as we are seeing the wholesale destruction of transgender rights in the United States and beyond in 2025 — it feels like this disconnect is fueling it all.
