"The penalizing of a Michigan educator for showing empathy to a student is more than just an isolated workplace injustice. It’s the inevitable product of a coordinated, nationwide push to not only deny transgender youth the care and support they need but to make it clear to educators, parents, and students alike that standing up for trans kids comes with consequences."

"And we’ve seen similar efforts here in Michigan. A 2025 attempt to ban trans girls from high school sports passed the GOP-led House as did another bill dictating K-12 and higher education students could only use bathrooms that align with their gender identity. While neither bill moved forward in the Democratic-controlled Michigan Senate, the message being sent is clear: compassion and understanding for trans youth are risks."
