“And no court decision—no matter how cruel—will win back the friendships lost to hate, or rescue those who chose the wrong side of history from the consequences of that choice.”

Ultimately, Freeman's column isn't pitiful because it rubs salt in the wound —it's pitiful because it lays bare the true aim of the anti-trans movement. This was never about policy or bathrooms or youth sports. It's about a cohort of people who feel culture shifting beneath their feet, who were raised in a world where casual cruelty toward transgender people was normalized, and who now find themselves resentful that society has moved on. Rather than reflect or grow, they double down, demanding that their revulsion be seen as virtue —that their discomfort be not only accepted but celebrated. Freeman's yearning for social validation, cloaked in the language of righteous indignation, reveals the movement's hollow core. The title of her piece says it all: this isn't about the law, it's about the isolation that comes from being wrong.
And no court decision —no matter how cruel-will win back the friendships lost to hate, or rescue those who chose the wrong side of history from the consequences of that choice.
