Good Trouble
The FTC is requesting comments from the public "to better understand how consumers may have been exposed to false or unsupported claims about 'gender-affirming care', especially as it relates to minors, and to gauge the harms consumers may be experiencing." While using false advertising to go after trans healthcare is a creative approach, it does smell a bit of desperation. Either way, if your listeners have stories of thoughtful and well-informed gender-affirming care that they or their family have received, or anything else they'd like to share with the FTC, they can do so using this link - regulations.gov/docket/FTC-2025-0264
