Arizona, Missouri, Texas, and North Carolina all have realistic shots at seeing their gender affirming care bans and other anti-trans laws repealed because of the election results.
How do you feel about the possibility in Georgia? With a narrow two republican majority in the senate, and governorship/statewide offices + state house being flipped I think it could be possible to at least lessen some of the anti-trans laws in the state, though I see it unlikely that we'll undo the sports ban.
I am one of those Canadians who is sporting a wide grin after the mid-terms. Congratulations to my American Friends! Sure, there's still a lot of work to do. I wish I could design a super-powerful magic wand. Keep going! Sending lots of Love from London, Ontario, Canada.❗💯😊👍❤️🔙
What about the ballot measure in Missouri? I would think that the voters rejecting the gender affirming care ban on the ballot measure would have a more immediate impact?
It’s more of an outside shot at the moment in North Carolina, as there will likely be a bare Republican majority in the Senate, though if the recount goes the way of Dems, it would be a tie with our Democratic Lt. Governor casting the tiebreaker vote. So perhaps. Until then, I wouldn’t get my hopes up on rescinding anti-trans laws or a state-level Equality Act. That may take another election under fairer legislative maps. We’re just happy that there won’t be anymore anti-trans laws coming out of Raleigh.
With the midterm elections behind us and voters across the country sending a clear message to Republicans, now is the time to turn that message into action. The voters have made it clear that attacking the transgender community and restricting people’s rights are not the priorities they want their government focused on. It is time to begin rolling back these discriminatory laws targeting the trans and LGBTQ+ communities and, hopefully, reversing the restrictive abortion legislation as well. But we cannot assume this will happen on its own. We must keep the pressure on our newly elected officials, demand action, and hold them accountable. The fight for equality, personal freedom, and individual rights does not end with an election. It is time to turn promises into progress!

Oh wouldn’t it be grand each of us being seen as a unique individuals.
Each different from the next, therefore all treated as if the same.
Playing by the same rules, on the same fields. Cooking in the same kitchens, being seated in the same dining rooms.
It’s not a riddle, and it doesn’t need to rhyme.
Individual liberty will never be realized by all, until all individuals are seen as one: each different.
None held higher or lower, with equal rights for all.
