Y’all I really don’t think you understand how dire this year is for #trans people. We are now at 134 anti-LGBTQ proposed state bills in 18 days. We have had 4 passed to floor votes with one of those already passing a floor vote.

- 51 banning gender affirming care
- 21 banning trans people from sports
- 21 Don't Say Gay/Forced Outing
- 15 Banning Drag
- 7 Eliminating legal recognition of trans people

Contact your legislators. Educate yourself, friends, family, and neighbors on trans issues and trans rights. We are drowning and need your help.

@Alli all the usual states I see.
@Alli I’m in Texas. There are so many to look through! 😭
If these drag show bills pass it will essentially turn every community theater location into a “love parlor” sooooooo 🙃 Like how do we fight against that kind of idiocy when they won’t listen to us in the first place?
@therichardexp you have to try. I know, especially in Texas, they don’t like to listen but time and time again when there is a large turnout against some of this stuff there is a sway in our direction.
@therichardexp @Alli civil disobedience, like the 1960s.
@Alli As a former resident of Missouri, I am 1. Appalled. Horrified. Deeply Saddened. Angry. 2. Glad I got out. 3. Feel a bit of survivor's guilt for making it out and taking my vote with me. 💔
@ainebet you have to remain safe! 💜
@Alli of course. I just wish we all could be safe everywhere. 💖🏳️‍🌈
@Alli a while ago I came to realise that the only way to affect real beneficial public policy change is to be an elected lawmaker, or at the very least be active in teams that feed into elected representatives. This was after seeing so much unfairness and lack of transparency in current governments.
@martin_piper I think you can make change with your vote. But I also agree you should be active in teams that feed directly into elected officials.
@Alli Yes and no. A vote only goes so far when minority issues are concerned, due to the very nature of being a minority. I'm not a SOGI minority, but I very strongly believe in justice and equality and can see accessing that as a minority can be extremely challenging.
@Alli I thought Oregon and Washington State were liberal or leftist. Are they too gerrymandered into GOP controlled state legislatures?
@atatassault they are! However they still have a few GOP members who felt the need to introduce anti trans legislation.

@Alli I will point this out re: map.

I checked the Oregon legislature, and you're right, there appear to be two bills: one to attempt to prevent trans people from competing in sport; and one to prevent gender affirming surgery on minors (which doesn't happen anyway).

I'm scared as shit about the state of the US transphobia right now, but in Oregon's case, we shouldn't worry: The republicans responsible for these are shit posting and don't have the chops.

@Alli What's also worth noting is that there are several bills designed to PROTECT trans people in the same session. I hope bigotry Is shown the door.

Oregon senate is currently 58,6% Democrat majority.

@Alli I've found a few others - but again, they're the same... attempts by old white men that I don't think Oregon will have any plans to implement. That said, It's scary AF to see my home state going through this...
@Aminorjourney @Alli Same with the ones in WA - all produced by the hateful WA GOP, will go nowhere.
@Alli what is happening in WA?

@caffeneko @Alli

^THIS. Because FUCK THAT ANTI-TRANS SHIT.

@Alli the messed up thing about the MO bills is like half a dozen of them specifically go after sports with minor variations. Like chaff and flares to protect the payload.
@Alli if they ban drag will they also ban reruns of M.A.S.H.?
@Alli Did Biden add 4 Supreme Court justices? The clown won’t add one! Two party system is working against all of us. Trump force-fed us, garbage judges. Seems that Biden can’t correct the dummies error? Why is that? Why is Merick Garland a member of the federal society? Conspiracies people like to call them conspiracy theories. Known facts? Means, conspiracy is real. And what I see? RICO act. DOJ is the rich lapdog. Won’t do their jobs. Letting rich skate. Causing an uprising on purpose. 🚫🤡
@Alli I live in the state of NJ and we have not passed any bills that limit LGBTQ people from anything. We have actually passed bills increasing the rights of LGBTQ. Please correct you mis-information.
@TQdemocrat these aren’t bills that have passed. This also isn’t a risk assessment of if bills will pass. It’s simply a list and heat map of bills introduced.
@Alli The state of NJ has NOT introduced any bills to limit LGBTQ rights. You can easily google how progressive NJ is about LGBTQ

@TQdemocrat yes they have. NJ S2648, NJ A4042, NJ S3076, NJ S589, NJ A1630 are all anti lgbtq bills.

I don’t disagree, that NJ is progressive and that these bills will not pass, but they have been introduced. That’s factual.

@Alli I suggest your re-write your post so that it reads less inflammatory. Your post is like says that ocean waves will crash.
@Alli FYI. S589 and A1630 are the same bill. It has nothing to to do with LGBTQ, it is a sports fairness bill. All of the other bills have NOT been written by OLS yet.Which means that some conservative Republican stood up made some ass introduction and could not get anyone to support the bills introduction.
@TQdemocrat they are companion bills. One is the the house and one is for the senate. They absolutely have to do with LGBTQ issues!? They ban trans women from sports.

@TQdemocrat @Alli it's a bill that explicitly bans trans people from participating in sports. Trying to say that has "nothing to do with LGBTQ" is objectively false.

Also, chill the hell out. What Allie is doing by sharing the active bills is helpful and important.

@parkermolloy @[email protected] @Alli Seems to be a bot. Blocked.
@martinvermeer @Alli Please let's not do the "Everyone who posts something I don't like is a bot" thing that people did on Twitter. Maybe you meant to use the word "troll," instead, but I don't think that's the case either. Whenever you see a post going into the weeds about something, it's likely not a "bot."
@parkermolloy @Alli I found the designation 'bot' on her profile page in @Elk. No idea what it's based on.
@parkermolloy @Alli I know that you and Alli are both young. I am an activist who has always supported LGBTQ people. It is is concerning when a state like BLUE NJ that has passed so many laws protecting LBGTQ is dumped with Red racist, homophobic states. The post could have been worded better

@TQdemocrat @Alli JFC, stop it. No one is lumping anyone in with anything. It was a list of bills that had been introduced, not passed. And then you had the gall to be like "Actually banning trans people from sports doesn't have anything to do with LGBTQ issues!" Which is BS.

Also, I'm 36. And I don't give a shit about how long you've been an "activist," anyway.

@parkermolloy @Alli All of my LGBTQ friends are in NJ are scratching their heads about the post.
@Alli
I will continue to fight here in texas and I have places for people to stay they are fleeing the state
@Alli
And the place is becoming a more dangerous for anyone not cis and gender conforming no doubt as well as anyone not heterosexual.
@onlymeindc
@Alli
Surprised to see NH in there, but I guess Ice Kentucky gonna be what it is
@Alli florida looks insufficiently threatening in this map, it needs a pulsating, thrumming evil colour
@Alli Damn, thats absolutely terrifying. I guess thats what the rise of theocracy looks like
@Alli Allegheny County, PA needs to get ready to fight on February 7th.
We have 3 seats currently vacant for the PA State House.
Republicans were fighting against these special elections being held in February- they currently hold a slim majority in the PA State house 101-99, due to these vacant seats.
This is where this type of legislation goes to either live or die. A 101-101 split would make it harder for the PA GOP to pass any new state bills. We need to vote!

@Alli Just leave these retarded states while you still can, wether you are of African or Asian descent, queer or a woman. I know I would if I was. Conservatives have started a culture war in the US and sooner or later they will rip all your human rights away, unless you are a rich white man. Then it will be too late to leave.
@Alli I wish we could hurry the eff up and offer asylum to trans ppl in Canada already this is unreal to watch. Sending love and solidarity. ❤️‍🩹
@Alli for myself I will continue to press our politicians with phone calls and letters and continue to provide gender affirming midwifery care in our community with kindness and without judgement.
@Alli why does the GQP feel so entitled to limit individual rights?
@Alli terrible. Sharing. Support you.

@Alli

& I imagine cis folks underestimate the collateral implications:

Are you a woman who prefers pants to skirts? (We fought this battle in 19fucking70, ffs)

@Alli every house has a gender neutral bathroom! 🤣
@Alli Utah wants to eliminate all transgender medical care for youth except counseling for gender dysphoria. They also want to require teachers to report (to parents) gender pronoun use and any attempts to use another name.

@Alli and yet there’s that shining new Republican star, George “If That Is Your Name” Santos.

The ironies are rich.

@Alli I am totally unfamiliar with the language used and what it might indicate; I did find that with Illinois SB4213 it is still in Legiscan but I’m not sure what the notations in the page indicate as to its status, could you clarify? Thanks. https://legiscan.com/IL/research/SB4213

@Alli Why is there not more outrage and noise about this?
@Alli I live in the “Alabama of Maryland” and my school board passed a thing where they have to out students who ask to use a different pronoun
@Alli Trans people hurt *no one*. This persecution has to stop! #TransRightsAreHumanRights
I just checked out the Google Docs and it got way worse.
@Erik oh yeah. We are reading over a dozen new bills a day and adding them. We are absolutely over run with bills. I know we have to have missed some too
