Shocking twist, there is actually some debate about whether the testosterone dose was too high. Overall the kid seems to be doing better with it than without it.
There is literally no story here other than "Father Objects To Son's Happiness."

You could impeach him and mirror the tone and language of the Declaration of Independence. You could have constituents volunteer reasons in which they were personally harmed by his crimes, and it could be a true citizen's impeachment. (In Illinois, not hard!) A lot of visible avenues.

Good things are possible with conviction and charisma and strength. The good politicians I've seen in my lifetime — Obama, AOC, Mamdani — basically ignored the Overton Window and created new conversations that shaped better outcomes. There might be a time to be transactional, but it's not now.

Ironically that's what Trump did too (derogatory version), and within a decade he took over the entire Republican party up and down and radically changed the conversations the country is having.
The idea that political imagination is naive is itself naive! We're living through it.

If someone says that the crisis in Higher Ed is caused by faculty getting too powerful, what they're really covering for is that as the academy diversified post civil rights, we learned A LOT more about systems of oppression and political & economic elites have been steaming mad about it ever since.

Maybe you've seen the quotes from the Reagan admin in which they were acutely aware that defunding Higher Ed helped stifle labor and liberal political activism, especially as social and cultural scholarship grew in influence.

Not that simple, but the problem isn't that profs got too big for their britches in the Ivory Tower. What happened was systematic defunding of Higher Ed, increasingly running universities like businesses, and degrading intellectual fields critical of the status quo.

Media need to note that the administration's argument that Birthright only applied to the children of freedmen is a lie, as it can be proven wrong with minimal research effort:
