There was a time when I believed the rights of queer and trans people were on the rise, and would continue in a neat upward trajectory, affording many people in my communities access to life-affirming and life-saving resources, healthcare, and legal protection. Then, into the headlines crept hints of backlash. A book banned from a library. A drag performance drawing protests.
