We'll stand up on the walls of the city

So I spent my entire day more or less spot-welded to my computer doing three different jobs and did not get a chance to look at the news until quite late, although I did see the exoplanets when I got up. That was lovely.

Not so lovely was the news that the present administration has withdrawn federal protection from trans students.

In just about about twelve hours, there's a rally in support of trans youth in Post Office Square and unless I wipe out after my doctor's appointment in the afternoon, I will be there. I am no good for shouting slogans at present, but I got rid of the cane as of this morning and should therefore be able to handle boots on ground.

I just have to sleep first.

I liked what you said, and you sounded strong.

Is House No. 97 the bill you were talking about? "An act relative to abusive practices to change sexual orientation and gender identity in minors." Looks like Christina Barber was a co-sponsor, and it hasn't moved an inch since January 2016, so it's at least similar to what you described.
