David, you mentioned the president and sort of the environment that we find ourselves in now and roughly 27 states currently have some version of a ban on trans athletes playing girls sports. 
That is a very different environment than it was when you won Boston back in 2020. 
What do you think of the social climate that we're in right now and what effect it might have on the justices? 
I think it's a, you know, it's it's unfortunate that um in in many ways the advances uh that trans folks made, including the Bosto decision, um ignited a backlash. 
And it's not uncommon that when a minority group makes gains, makes gains, there is a backlash. 
I mean, look at what happened after the Civil War. 
Uh and we enacted the Civil War amendments, the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, and ended slavery, and uh provided equal protection to everybody and the right to vote to African-Americans. 
And what did we see? 
We saw a backlash throughout uh the South. 
And it was a long fight. 
And LGBT folks have seen the same. 
And and right now, trans folks are in the crosshairs. 
That makes this a much harder issue politically uh and a much harder issue legally.
