Yeah I mean I think as the city with the most protections that we still have more to do and if these other legislative entities have been able to put out statements that show that trans rights will be protected and not weakened, we have a responsibility to do even better.

And then as we were doing this back and forth, it really dawned on me that having H and H and CCHR, some of these other agencies would have been helpful to today's conversation given you're leading the interagency effort but then there's like H and H funding and I'd love to know how many patients they are seeing and then with CCHR, they're kind of know they're filling this important gap of people are unlikely to report to let's say the NYPD and would rather go to CCHR and so I'm very curious as to like how those cases are handled, do we have enough case managers, but that's just one reflection.
