The Trans club appears to have quite a few members (no pun).
Standard mental anguish damages for someone who doesn’t present any medical proof of e.g. documented psychological damage, would be about $5000 – $10,000 per person

Mr. Olson: one thing you might want to clarify the $400,000 award in the Portland bar case appears to be “damages” (presumably for mental anguish) awarded to the plaintiffs/complainants, rather than a civil fine/penalty.
