Tennessee ... banned "Transgender medical care" for minors
Air-quotes added by me, because he tried to phrase it as "medical care" for "transgender" minors at first blush but of course the quotes make it clear he didn't mean you to take it that way (of course). However, as OP and the twitter poster points out, that's just the most generous framing he can offer to blame his political enemies when own his allies murder them.
It's also worth mentioning that "she was identifying herself as transgender" is an intentionally vague description that you must question if this was a "man pretending to be woman" due to the explicit media rule that all trans must be ascribed the identities they themselves demand, so you must always assume the pronoun given was the 'target' and not the 'origin'. But of course that wasn't what he meant you to take away since this was an evil person who doesn't get the blessing of such protections because we hate murderers EVEN when they kill people we like them to kill (of course).
Keep it up, ABC/Disney. You think your legally-vague-enough banter pretending to be news commentary is winning approval and cementing your control of culture, but what it really serves is to be hoistable, demonstrable, plain, and vulgar examples that drive the otherwise ambivalent away from you. People understand venom when you pour it in their ears, and they know instinctively not to trust you later.

It was a female pretending to be a man, which is even funnier.
