A map of the risk for anti-trans laws. For Pride, America feels like it has cleaved into two countries - one which targets transgender people everywhere, and one that has taken huge protective steps.
Sometimes a visual is nice just to help hammer home just how bad things have gotten in parts of the United States. We've got a lot of fighting left to do for trans rights.
Oh, my god. I'm cis-gender but this map looks like some dystopian shithole. It's so surreal, something you should never have to see outside of tv shows like The Handmaid's Tale.
Yeah, that's why I feel it's important to share things like this. The trans community knows how bad things are, but I'm not sure the populace as a whole understands how dire our situation is right now.
That was a damn fine rant that I wish a lot more people would see. Thank you for speaking your mind about it and...whatever it's worth, I'm sorry you have to try an exist alongside these knuckle-dragging hate-mongers.
