The driver's license angle of attack is clearly aimed at your ability to vote, since that's the most common form of ID that is used. This is going to get worse before it gets better.

lisad24.bsky.social•64 days ago

So. Anti trans government officials seek to dictate how Americans pursuit of happiness and legislate misery to make themselves more comfortable at others misery? This is what America stands for?

How many founders were Puritanical?

amber-joan.bsky.social•63 days ago

It's even worse. While not a new anti-trans bill, the recent FL DOC interpretation of existing law creates layers of medical gatekeeping that amounts to de-facto State-mandated detransitioning of inmates. here is bulletin outlining their new policy. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25279694-hsb-150523-mental-health-treatment-for-gender-dysphoria1/

We need to be more aggressive in our approach to fighting these bills next year , no more leave it up to the courts, if you and others disagree I don’t care. No violence but there are other non-violent ways to take trash out.

geo63.bsky.social•64 days ago

This is so sick. Instead of dealing with concrete issues of jobs, poverty, education, homelessness, pollution, and climate change, republicans waste their time (and our money) on idealogical issues that put limits on human rights and hurt marginalized communities of people. 🤬

A birth certificate is proof of where you were born & a record of what was reasonably believed to be true at the time of your birth. That’s it.

binx02.bsky.social•64 days ago

Republicans and even some democrats definitely feel more able to be anti trans now that trump has been elected, this number is probably only going to grow over the next 4 years unfortunately

zemyla.bsky.social•64 days ago

Democrats have been a consistent disappointment on the national level. "We have to get elected so we can get cushy jobs in the private sector when we leave office. Your whole 'not wanting to be murdered for who you are' thing will have to wait."

rikiwilchins.bsky.social•64 days ago

Unbelievable that after nearly 2000 bills being filed in the last 5 years there are _still_ any legislative targets left. I guess you can't be a real Republican anymore unless you have your own performatively cruel anti-trans kids bill.

2. The bulk of the bills so far come from Texas and Missouri, two of the earlier states that release prefilled legislation ahead of the 2025 session. However, states like South Carolina, New Hampshire, Georgia, Wyoming, and Montana all feature multiple anti-LGBTQ+ bills.

erininthemorning.com•64 days ago

3. States with anti-trans bills filed so far include:
Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming..

aminaerin.bsky.social•64 days ago

I’m surprised by Washington Erin?

Oregon's the same way. I'm stuck out in the red boonies and it's wild to see so much MAGA nonsense :( I've even seen confederate flags before lmao in OREGON

stuffydoll.bsky.social•63 days ago

Yeah, I mean it was a state founded as being explicitly only for white people lol Portland is a wonderful little anomaly with terrible roads and a fun bookstore

mizbun.bsky.social•64 days ago

Yeah I looked on the spreadsheet, apparently there are four. Two involving sports segregation, one for minors, one for inmates?

erininthemorning.com•64 days ago

4. This year, several state bills aim to strip legal recognition from transgender people entirely.

These bills can and have resulted in the revocation and reissuing of drivers licenses to revert trans people's gender markers back to their assigned sex at birth.

jacktorranceii.bsky.social•63 days ago

2nd amendment folks......

alissa914.bsky.social•64 days ago

I look forward to the cis women's realization of transmen being made to use the women's bathroom... that will be a huge mess.

So what people should likely do, get as many copies of your birth certificates as possible... lock them in a safe... based on what's in this article.

emrysomega.bsky.social•64 days ago

It's going to get trans mascs injured and killed. I'm not looking forward to that at all.

alissa914.bsky.social•64 days ago

I'm not a fan either but they write the laws not specifying gender in it because otherwise it would probably lose a challenge on 14th amendment grounds... but they don't believe transmen exist, so that's the consequences of it... I look forward to them realizing the error in logic.

erininthemorning.com•64 days ago

5. In many states that have passed such legislation, bathroom bans have been attached. Indeed, in the initial rush of bills, bathroom bans can be found that target trans adults.

One Missouri bill would make it discriminatory conduct to ALLOW a trans person in the bathroom of their gender identity.

erininthemorning.com•64 days ago

6. Book bans are seeing a resurgence in the prefiled bills. In Texas, which has been rebuked by higher courts, over 8 book ban bills have been filed this session.

erininthemorning.com•64 days ago

7. Another common type of anti-trans legislation that is common is sports bans. Texas has a bill that would ban private sporting events from having access to the Texas Events Fund if they have trans athletes.

Wyoming has a bill that would ban trans *Kindergarteners* from playing.

mauikatherine.bsky.social•64 days ago

Omg

sandiinop.bsky.social•64 days ago

This case goes before the Kansas State Court of Appeals on Jan 7. The 3 court panel composed by judges appointed by dem govs. Previous courts upheld a constructional right to abortion in Kansas. Very hopeful they will rule trans have constitutional rights as well and will reverse current order

poohandme61.bsky.social•64 days ago

To bad these idiots don't believe in science. As to why we're born different, And yet they talk about about being Christians, and they aren't really, the fact that your judging people that are different from you. Automatically makes you anti- Christian. And pure fucking evil...

alissa914.bsky.social•64 days ago

The best argument is probably to tell them "if God didn't intend for us to do this, He wouldn't have made our physical changes happen when we take hormones." Or something like that.

gonegirl227.bsky.social•63 days ago

I’ll never understand the trans hate. I know they love to control, but the “party of small government” sure doesn’t understand what that means. I’m beyond disgusted. Humans are humans, leave people alone!

Who is this for. LGBT people, and especially trans people, are one of the most engaged and strongly Democratic electoral demographics in the country, it’s not even close. Stop scolding the people being targeted and go yell at the idiots who elected a felon because they think eggs are pricy.

bain8renn.bsky.social•64 days ago

sarablade.bsky.social•64 days ago

"Voted for republican" they are very clearly calling out people who sold out the community to vote for the felon.

seachained.bsky.social•64 days ago

Here we go again?

beishko.bsky.social•64 days ago

What do we do? It feels like reaching out to representatives who already don't care about us isn't going to move the needle much. Genuine question.

blackmoria.bsky.social•64 days ago

I wonder how long it will take until a "Rainbow" book comes out showing how to safely travel across the US if you are trans? I doubt it will be too long before the anti sodomy laws start getting passed again and they start going after the rest of the LGBTQ+ community.

hazelebaumgartner.bsky.social•64 days ago

I believe such a thing has existed in the past and was called a pink book. There is a map going around in trans spaces of states to avoid and (relatively) safe cities within those states if you do find yourself there. For example, Missouri is horrible, but KC has legal protections in place.

dirtynerdy.bsky.social•63 days ago

the anti-sodomy laws are mostly still on the books. states could decide to start enforcing them again and then take the fight to the supreme court

blackmoria.bsky.social•63 days ago

I know, much like a lot of the anti abortion laws, or the racial covenants on property, or some jim crow laws still in effect. Ticking time bombs in our legal system.

“This year, several state bills aim to strip legal recognition from transgender people entirely.”

zoey1424.bsky.social•64 days ago

What do they even want me to do at this point? Kill myself? They want me to kill myself? I'm at a point in my transition where I've lost the physical ability to boymode. I can't just "keep it to myself" (aka get back in the closet, f*ggot) anymore. No matter what I do I look like a girl now.

leenacakes420.bsky.social•64 days ago

yes, they do want you to, or they will do it for you (legally, of course) since being perceived as queer in public by any minor will be charged as CSA and will carry capitol punishment.

emgunter.bsky.social•64 days ago

Erin, I've been following you ever since the beginning of your transition and it makes me just so incredibly happy to see how far you've come.

lightisacat.bsky.social•64 days ago

I hate to tell the far right this, but they can arrest me, beat me, torture me, terrorize me, and humiliate me, and I’ll still be trans. Louder and prouder for the next 4 years.

This new anti-queer movement was sparked by Christina Pushaw (foreign spy working for Republicans) and Chris Rufo (rightwing dipshit married to an illegal immigrant).

Pushaw works for the DeSantis administration

clearspies.bsky.social•63 days ago

Yes. That’s the one. Look it up, she started calling people “Groomers” online. It sparked a call to fire her and they doubled down. That was the first time “Groomers” had been used as a slur in decades and it became a new political movement.
