The only thing that is assumed is that all of our evidence so far is valid, and human nature hasn't fundamentally changed suddenly.

It's easy to say that people will die as a result of this legislation because we've seen it happen already. Suicide rates among trans youth go up when protections are removed. Forcing teachers to involve parents in dangerous situations isn't just harmful, it is INTENTIONALLY harmful.
