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
@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.
