Department of living comfortably and fully in their truths

Hmm. An article in the Nation assumes matters not in evidence.

Rather than do something, anything, about the abysmal state of healthcare in the United States, the Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services has doubled down on its attacks against trans youth, their families, and the web of providers who work to ensure young people can live comfortably and fully in their truths.

Their whats? What does “in their truths” mean?

Aw come on, we know what it means. It means their fantasies about themselves. It seems to me that people’s fantasies about themselves are not something anyone else has to do anything at all to assist or affirm or publicize. They’re personal and individual; they’re the opposite of social.

Of course it’s not just HHS. Last summer, the conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court ruled that it isn’t discriminatory to discriminate against trans youth.

No it didn’t. The issue wasn’t “discriminate against trans youth: yes or no?” – it was “puberty blockers and hormone therapy for the treatment of gender dysphoria in minors: yes or no?”.

It’s interesting how consistently reporting on magic gender has to distort the facts in order to…well, distort the facts.
