It sucks to have sat here all last year knowing exactly what was coming as soon as 2022 hit in terms of anti-trans legislation while feeling powerless to stop it.

Cis allies, now is where you need to show you're true allies to us.

We're drowning and being thrown cinder blocks.
In just 24 hours, we have been subject to so many bills seeking to ban our existence, remove us from public space, and detransition us...

Indiana wants to make it illegal for us to enter restrooms:

Indiana also wants to protect parents who misgender their kids:

West Virginia wants to jail doctors and detransition trans teenagers:

South Dakota wants to ban trans youth from bathrooms:

Florida wants to detransition trans teens and jail doctors:

Indiana wants to detransition trans teens and jail doctors:

Utah wants to detransition trans teens and jail doctors:

Kentucky wants to detransition trans teens and jail doctors:

Missouri wants to ban us from changing our birth certificates:

Alabama wants to detransition trans teens and jail doctors:

Viginia Rs want to remove all trans protections from public schools:

North Dakota wants to ban trans youth from restrooms:

On top of it all, they're burning down clinics where we access our hormones:

We need you to step up, cis people.

Not just hitting a retweet button or hitting like.

Make phone calls, befriend trans people, donate to gofundmes, provide mutual aid and support, ruin Christmas and Easter and family vacations over it, ostracize transphobes.
Every hour it's a new one.

Oklahoma wants to ban trans people from bathrooms.

Mississippi wants to ban trans youth from existing and jail doctors

Virginia wants to ban trans youth from bathrooms

Iowa seeks to ban trans youth from bathrooms.

I’ve stopped updating this list. There are literally too many to fit here. Follow my account.

1. In an interview yesterday, Dr. Cass stated that trans care should be based on factors like "employment" and "getting out of the house," rather than satisfaction.

In doing so, she revived a very old attack on trans people from the 1970s.

2. In her first American interview, Dr. Cass appears to have been more open about her ideological positions.

She advocate for what she called "objective measures," implying trans people can't be trusted with their own happiness.

3. When asked about the evidence for "actual outcomes," Dr. Cass said that trans care should ACTUALLY be judged by:
- Employability
- "Getting out of the house"
- Sex life
- Being in relationships.

This has a long and dark history in the trans community. Image

1. The Mississippi Legislature has just passed a bill that allows for cisgender people to sue if they encounter trans people in the bathroom.

It applies to colleges, high schools, and dorms.

The bill heads to the governor's desk.

2. The bill is one of the harsher anti-trans bathroom bans in the United States. Around a dozen states have passed bans in recent years, mostly targeting K-12. This one, though, applies to colleges, dorms, sororities and fraternities.

3. Of particular interest is a section allowing cisgender people to sue of they encounter trans people in their sororities and fraternities, bathrooms, changing rooms, and more.

1. Last night, a Kansas Republican, Represetnative Susan Concannon, voted against a transgender ban in the state, upholding the governor's veto.

Her message was simple: "Government involvement is not the answer."

She was joined by others.

2. Two Republicans in the House and two in the Senate stood against the bill. The defeat of the gender affirming care ban SB233 in Kansas marks the latest in a series of Republicans turning away from anti-trans laws.

3. Representative Concannon previously voted in favor of the bill. She reversed that decision and stepped forward to explain why: "These decisions belong to the team of professionals and the parents. The youth need our help, not government overreach."

1. In a landmark ruling, the United States 4th Circuit Court of Appeals rules "gender identity is a protected characteristic," and that state coverage bans on trans care are unconstitutional.

This will have far-reaching impacts.

2. The ruling, which was decided on by the entire 4th Circuit Court, says that transgender people are a protected class and that trans discrimination is sex discrimination, overturning State coverage bans.

Read my latest article here:

3. Attorneys for the state argued that the policies were not discriminatory because the exclusions for trans care "apply to everyone, not just trans people."

Judges rebuked this idea, citing older arguments that a ban on gay marriage "applied to everyone, gay and straight." Image
