It's gotta be really weird to be an adult whose primary audience is children.
Especially now in the era where your audience more directly influences what you do and what you put out.
Not saying this is in any way comparable to the current state of affairs, but it's very easy to support one side in a war in which they're both war criminals. Just because both sides are doing things defined as war crimes doesn't make their goals unjust.
Like the Allies in WW2, the Red Army in the Russian Civil War, the Vietcong in Vietnam, etc.
I'd say that it's still a very common trope, and that's part of the reason it's not discussed much. The other reason is that, as the cultural "default" cishet men don't really create spaces centering their shared cishet experience, since basically all communities are awash in that already. Lesbians obviously carve out spaces for themselves where they can discuss their own culture, which is not often on display in the wider culture.
Like if you went to a forum for cishet dudes, it would be a bunch of guys who think there aren't enough places already to talk about being a cishet dude and that's a big red flag.
Part of the ruling stems from the ND constitution which guarantees a right to pursue happiness:
Section 1. All individuals are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty; acquiring, possessing and protecting property and reputation; pursuing and obtaining safety and happiness; and to keep and bear arms for the defense of their person, family, property, and the state, and for lawful hunting, recreational, and other lawful purposes, which shall not be infringed.
Notably, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" were in the Declaration of Independence, and not the US Constitution. But ND put it in theirs.
Anyway, wishcasting here to say that this opens a pathway to protecting gender-affirming care in ND as well.
