I don't think this is an issue yet, but please include bathroom laws that go into effect on a separate map if/when they do. I would hate for any traveling trans people to be caught unaware.
I would love to see more annotates and source links, especially a way to identify exactly which bill(s) are represented on the maps. I'm trying to follow the specifics of bills in Texas, and this would be a huge help for me! Thanks Erin.
As always, thank you so much for all you do! The maps in particular are very useful for those of us who are visual learners. At least there's some good news; I'll try to focus on that.
It's much appreciated. It's so hard to keep track of everything, I mostly keep up with missouri where I live and Montana, but there's more going on than all that
I totally understand the challenge of whether to make WV a pink state or not. The truth is that we DO have a ban, there are exceptions and we want our patients to know they can still get care here if they meet the requirements. However, a ban is a ban. It is a violation of our basic civil rights to have the government interfere with decisions between healthcare providers, parents and patients. Maybe it can get an *? Leaving it grey makes it look like it's not a problem here. It is.
Sb14 just passed the Texas House committee 6-5 and heads to the general house for vote and then the governors desk. Activists were pushed out and arrested in the Texas State House today for mostly bs reasons. https://twitter.com/taygoldenstein/status/1653511345323618306?s=20
This is a total aside, but Erin, does Zooey not have a proper protection mat to stand on while she's working at the statehouse? Long hours on concrete (and that carpet is nothing more than carpet in name, it ain't actual carpet) will do serious damage to every joint your body has from your toes to your neck. If she doesn't, lemme know, I'll be happy to send her a proper work mat to keep the stresses off her bones. She's doing the good work, but I have been in trades for too long (and have too many aches for my age) to let prevention slide. Also, donated to her reelection as well! GET EM!

So. Much. Horror
ICYMI...Another example of not just trans people but their supporters being silenced.

Thank the goddess you’re ok Erin.

Erin, thank you again for all the work you do. It means so much to our community.

Is there a source I can look to that lists which states have which specific pro-trans protection? We will prob have to flee Missouri
