May Anti-Trans Legislative Risk Map

The map of anti-trans risk has polarized into two Americas - one where trans people have full legal protections, and one where they are persecuted by the state.

@danirabbit Sobering and downright frightening how quickly this happened. I'm reading Riki Wilchin's manuscript of her next book, about the attack on gender affirming care for youth -- and I don't yet understand how, a few years back, North Carolina passed a bathroom bill and got absolutely stomped for it, but now, we have all these bills passing with little public pushback. Did the pandemic change something? Some increase in just fuck it I got mine selfishness out there? A loss of empathy? Was it Trump? Permission to hate? Not sure....
@danirabbit I still believe the social key to fighting back is a publicity campaign giving examples of NB/trans folk in history, who have made acknowledged contributions to science, the arts, medicine, etc. This directly attacks the stereotype that we are The Other.
