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 There are many terrible anti-trans proposals that need to be called out. Listing a state as having the “worst active anti-trans laws” because they restrict trans women from full participation in interscholastic women’s sports only gives the real atrocities cover.

@rvcx so we’re quibbling with the color coding in the face of a genocide? That helpful ya think?

@fraying I’m “quibbling” with turning an important issue into one purely of tribal identity, where all nuances are erased for the sake of political signaling. Alienating everyone who cares about the viability of competitive female sport is not the way to build a coalition.
