Perhaps more accurately, this period should be regarded as an inflection point. There is genuine joy among advocates for transgender and queer individuals in witnessing the failure of horrific legislation, a marked contrast to its passage in previous years. In Georgia, this joy was evident in the celebrations of activists across the state. However, this joy is tempered by increasingly desperate attacks targeting the highest echelons of power: Congress, the presidency, and the Supreme Court, which is poised to adjudicate a multitude of cases arising from previously passed harmful legislation. For those championing LGBTQ+ rights, the victories are a moment of reprieve that will allow them to breathe easier and replenish strength for the fights ahead.
