I did a little digging into some [advanced parts][make] of `make(1)`.

The US Supreme Court heard a case regarding a new law in Tennessee that would
bar minors from receiving any kind of gender affirming medical care. This case
has big implications for trans healthcare across the country, with many states
having enacted new laws that limit access. I'm deeply worried for the trans kids
who will be put at risk of violence and suicide because of the hate of a vocal
minority.

Slate's Amicus episode titled "[The Right's About Face on Parental
Rights][amicus]" has a great interview with Chase Strangio, who works for the
ACLU and argued the case to the Supreme Court.
