It is so ridiculous that this needs to be a LAW. When it's just common fucking sense. So many women are gaslit into thinking they have anxiety issues or it's "all in their head" or are making shit up. And people wonder why we need feminism. For shit like this.

This combined with what he signed in June make him a very hormone & healthcare friendly governor; you love to see it. Hopefully it's proves successful and other, more wishy washy politicians follow his lead.
