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 These red states are harming my family. Coincidentally these red states are also where my family votes.

@chadgeidel having difficult conversations with family is one way those of us not in those states can help.

@fraying It's tough to have to explain that "no, abortion isn't actually murder but preventing women from getting health care is" to people who won't listen to anyone but their pastor.

Including a very close female relative who is actually a former RN.
