My fellow cis Americans, I want you to look at this map. Really look at it. And I want you to imagine what it would feel like if those red states were threatening you and your family. Because, ultimately, they are.

This is what creeping fascism looks like. It will harm ALL OF US. And it will take all of us, together, to fight it.

We don't sacrifice people. We stand with our trans siblings. When their rights are threatened, all our rights are threatened.

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.

@fraying I’m currently 19 and in Ohio. Gender affirming care as a minor saved my life and I have bottom surgery coming up in a few months.

What happens when the unthinkable happens and my access to hormones is restricted? There’s no world where I can go back to before. I can’t live that way again. I won’t do it.

Please, keep your trans friends and family close, let them know you’ll fight for them and believe their fears. Nobody deserves to have their lives ripped away by hate.

@AmandaGay081321 hang in there, Amanda. You are valid. You are important. You deserve better than this. And this stranger is fighting for you from afar.
