Missouri banning gender affirming care for most trans adults, and all Autistic trans adults, has me reaching for this stanza of Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach."

"Ah, love, let us be true

To one another! for the world, which seems

To lie before us like a land of dreams,

So various, so beautiful, so new,

Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,

Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;

And we are here as on a darkling plain

Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,

Where ignorant armies clash by night."
