Stay informed, stay aware. My trans siblings, take a moment for yourself, its okay to take a step away when this all feels too much. Live to see another day, because that is what matters. I will never stop finding joy in being trans, because it is beautiful, and we will persevere through this

Bills that become laws like this create harmful rhetoric that trans people are groomers. When the “Don’t Say Gay” law passed in Florida, this untrue narrative increased on social media by 400%. This creates a hostility against trans people that can cost lives

1% of the American population is transgender. So why are we the subjects of so many anti-trans bills? More bills are coming through nationwide. This is dangerous and something that needs to be taken seriously by queer allies. Erin Reed is a wonderful source to stay informed on anti-trans legislation

Suicide rates for trans people increase drastically when unable to access gender-affirming care, which is truly life-saving for many

SB 164 is focusing on criminalizing those who help trans youth access gender-affirming care, physicians, parents, and guardians could all face legal repercussions. Trans healthcare should not be criminalized, and those providing it should not be faced with legal action

Trans people experience being the victims of a crime 4 times more often then their cisgender peers. 50% of trans people are victims of sexual assault. Forcing trans people to use bathrooms of their assigned sex at birth puts them at risk of serious harm. It forces them into unsafe situations

HB 300 being heard tomorrow, January 31st, will ban trans athletes from sports, and their preferred locker rooms. When you force trans students to use the bathrooms of their assigned sex at birth, 25.9% report being sexually assaulted
