We all know that the GOP always accuses the Democrats of whatever it is they are guilty of.

Take the Biden impeachment inquiry. The real corruption we should be investigating is by Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of Donald Trump, whose private fund received $2 billion from the Saudis. Republicans want to distract from that by accusing Joe Biden of corruption, without any evidence, because his son Hunter made money from foreign sources.

Every accusation is a confession. That’s how we know that there is much for them to hide when it comes to Jared Kushner. You can tell by how desperate they are to claim the Biden family is corrupt.

Generally speaking, I think the conversation about gender affirming care for youth should focus on allowing parents to make the final decision, and on pushing back against bad journalism that leads parents in the wrong direction on the science.

Politically, the GOP has made a big bet on parents rights. So it makes it easier to argue against state bans to use that pre-existing propensity to support parents' deciding for their kids.

But that's not ultimately why I think it's the right approach.
