We are getting closer to Sine Die for many states. As state legislative sessions close, states will lose the chance to pass anti-trans legislation. Here is the risk of each state!
Thank you for updating this so regularly, Erin. I’ve been using your work in discussions with people organizing conferences in Florida and Georgia. It’s a truly invaluable resource and I’m so so incredibly grateful for your work. And I’m so glad to be able to support it with my subscription to your Substack
Erin, my work had a Trans Day Of Visibility conference call for our PRIDE Group this past Friday. My company is very LGBTQ friendly. One of the things discussed was safe states for trans individuals.
I think you are wrong about Michigan but it’s my State so I admit bias but when our AG and governor come out and say it’s a safe refuge for transgender people it says something this is a scary map and even though our president issued strong statements of support we need actual action in the form of executive orders
What are your thoughts about North Carolina now that the GOP has the supermajority? I was planning to send my teen there this summer for a bit, but the new developments have me terrified to send him. We would not have even considered North Carolina an option, but things looked safe a few weeks ago.
Thank you for all of your work!!! I am so, so grateful.
Hey Erin, I am a long-time fan who's trans/non-binary and a native Texan, I currently live in Austin. My partner and I are seriously considering fleeing TX before the end of the year. I was wondering if you had any experience helping people pick cities in these states? For example, I know Colorado is a great place to move but would you suggest to a trans/non-binary person to NOT move to Colorado Springs due to their history with Focus on the Family/Christian Nationalism? Let me know if you're avaiable to talk more specifically about this because we are currently at a loss for how to begin, what to do, where to go, what we should pack, what we should sell, if we should start a gofund me, etc...
You have Arizona in the moderately safe states. Didn’t the governor sign a bill a year ago banning Trans affirming care for minors as well as a sports ban? Just checking cause someone on Reddit pointed that out.
Your work is so appreciated! I'm hoping NJ will earn a status upgrade with the next release of the map based on the executive order giving trans folk sanctuary status. BTW congratulations on your engagement! Wishing you & Zooey a lifetime of joy.
Erin, do you have a map or a list of bills that seek to SEPARATE trans children from their parents and caregivers? These are the bills like HB 42 (Texas) that add best practice, life-saving care for trans youth to child abuse statutes. I'd also include bills like SB 254 (Florida) that allow the state to take temporary custody of children who may be receiving gender-affirming care now or in the future. Thank you!

May I share this map with the group?

Other than GoFundMe, are there any resources that could help trans people and their families move to a safer state, if they can’t afford to do so?

Is it time to recalculate NC already?

Thank you for your updates, the map is helpful in ways mass data isn't. =) Joined TFP in part because of you. Keep the amazing activism going <3

Friendly disagreement Erin you know how I feel about the important work you do notably you are the only account I subscribe too
Pretty sure Missouri is going to change color next month. Never thought I’d be looking back at Kansas as a bastion of sanity.

SB14 in Texas is basically passed now as it heads to the governor’s office, and bans youth gender affirming care.
I just found out about you through CoyoteAnnie on TikTok. Of course I had to subscribe to your substack immediately! Thank you for doing this.
