I have tracked anti-trans legislation for 3 years. Every day, people have asked me where to move or how at risk they are in their state.

So I created the anti-trans legislative risk map.

This is my final map of 2022.

The Final Anti-Trans Legislative Risk Map Of 2022

This map helps you determine the likelihood your state will pass anti-trans legislation in the next 2 years. If you are moving or looking to move, or make other decisions, please use this map!

@ErinInTheMorn Consider to help @trans_rescue to expand it globally?

@kkarhan @ErinInTheMorn @trans_rescue is there anyone already making similar maps for other large countries or regions?

TransEmigrate's director maintained one, but it had lots of methodological flaws and consumed time and energy needed for moving trans folks.
We have the data if someone is interested in pursuing it.
ILGA maintains a better constructed list, but it's focused on gay rights.

Making such a map is a big project. Making one that is consistent and grounded in reality is extremely difficult, and in many ways inherently subjective.

@trans_rescue @kkarhan @ErinInTheMorn yeah to me it's a lot like election predictions. Erin is also using her intuition, developed from living in this country, to get a feel for what is more or less likely. It wouldn't be proper to compare her assessment of the risks in a US state to someone else's assessment of a EU member country. And totally different structures of government.

we've had passengers in terrible danger who refused suggestions to move to places we know are relatively benign - its always partly subjective

One needs to show two values - current acceptance level and rate of change.
We call countries that once were on a path to #trans rights, but are now falling into fascism "countries of new concern" - they particularly worry us, as there are millions of out trans folks who have few defenses if things turn ugly suddenly.

@trans_rescue @thomasjwebb @ErinInTheMorn *nodds in agreement*

There needs to be more public awareness and pressure.

Criminalizing trans people out of existance must be politically as suicidal as the last time a facist regime did to as a doctrine to another marginalized minority...

#NeverAgain means NEVER, AGAIN in the entire solar system!
