    Double negative confused me for a second and I was sad. Opposes the ban! Want gender affirming care available. Excellent.

      Oh I missed that entirely. Sloppy writing, it should be arranged “opposes bans on gender affirming care”.

      Same! “Supports care” would have been an easier concept, though a little different from “opposes ban” I guess…

      I find it quite common (and confusing) for certain news types like policy, eg “party A reverses the disapproval to oppose the once-unacceptable ban”
