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. Florida's Department of Health has issued anti-vax guidance, stating that doctors should not administer mRNA COVID vaccines.

The guidance uses an identical argument that the state has used to ban transgender healthcare.

2. The guidance, which was issued under Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo, claims that a lack of "booster specific RCTs" is the reason for issuing the latest anti-vax guidance. This is the same line of attack the state has used against trans care.

3. The guidance appears to call for "booster specific randomized clinical trials," even though such trials are entirely unfeasible for a vaccine with evolving strains.

We do not require such trials for updated yearly flu vaccines, for instance.

1. Connecticut has launched an ad campaign targeting Florida LGBTQ+ residents after Florida scrubbed LGBTQ+ travel info from its website.

The campaign comes as Florida increasingly has cracked down on LGBTQ+ people, especially trans people.

2. The campaign, which was announced on PR Newswire, includes information on legal protections, healthcare access for trans youth and adults, easy name and gender marker changes, and inclusive events and activities.

3. The state currently is rated among the Safest States in my trans risk assessment map when it comes to laws. The state features:
- A conversion therapy ban
- A shield law protecting healthcare from subpoenas
- Easy gender/name changes
- LGBTQ+ inclusive curriculum Image

1. On Tuesday, several amicus briefs were filed at the Supreme Court opposing gender affirming care bans.

One of the most impactful was a brief from families that have had to flee from anti-trans laws, literally splitting families apart.

2. In the latest article from guest writer Mira Lazine, several families detail the harrowing aftermath of anti-trans laws and the impossible choices it forced them to make.

1. This week, at a Moms For Liberty event, Trump made one of the most outlandish claims in my 5 year history of tracking anti-trans policies...

He claims schools are giving operations to kids and sending them home a different gender.

2. The latest article, brought to you by writer @MiraLazine, details Trump's participation in a Moms For Liberty conference, where he spent 20 minutes rambling about trans issues, making false claims, and hinting at crackdowns should he become president.

3. It is important to note that there has never been any evidence that schools are "giving operations" to youth. This is a claim entirely without evidence, similar to the litterboxes in classrooms claims that dominated the 2022 anti-trans right wing.

1. In a bizarre opinion, a Trump-appointed federal judge has ruled that a teacher deadnaming trans students teaches "tolerance."

The judge also stated that using trans student's names is akin to "teaching LGBTQ+ issues"

2. The ruling, which comes from Trump-appointee Judge Pamela Barker, is over an English teacher who resigned after she was told to make accommodations for transgender students in her classroom. She argues it violates her religion.

Read my latest:

3. Vivian Geraghty was an English teacher. In 2022, two students indicated that they were trans and went by a different name and pronouns, both with parental support.

The teacher ignored their request, prompting one student, Student A, to send a polite plea: Image

The greatest danger to no trans person speaking at the DNC and the word "transgender" only being said twice in 4 nights is that Dems (wrongly) are scared of the politics of supporting trans people.

Which easily becomes, Dems see us as worth negotiating away.

Let me explain why:
The Dem Party, especially state parties, are extremely supportive of transgender people when it comes to policy. But they did not fiercely defend us when they had the countries attention.

There were countless "love who you want to love" but virtually no "be who you want to be"
By itself, it sucks but it doesn't mean that the Democratic Party is bad for trans people. Blue states right now have the strongest protections and policies for trans people virtually anywhere in the world. Which is great!
