Honest question: Are there any national reporters covering the wave of anti-trans legislation making its way forward in state legislatures across the country in anywhere near the depth that Chase is doing as a lawyer and advocate?

I asked this b/c almost a decade ago @benyt poached me from @metroweekly to do basically the same job I had been doing — full-time national LGBT politics beat reporting — at a national non-LGBT-exclusive publication. It got some attention when he did so in 2012! He was right!
We’re far past time for a national publication to hire a trans writer to do the same here. (There are great trans writers doing great work, but no one has a full-time beat at a national non-queer publication, to my knowledge.)
Among those reporters who identify as trans who you should be following, as they are taking on some of this important work: @shoeleatherkate at @19thnews and @i_oriion at @axios.

Among other reporters who identify as trans to follow for their coverage in this area are @transscribe, reporting for @voxdotcom, and @byMadisonHall at @thisisinsider.
Some more reporters who identify as trans to follow for their coverage in this area are @JoYurcaba with @NBCOUT and @femme_thoughts with @Openly (and @NBCOUT).
