You ban gender affirming care, people will just get it from an online source.

It's the same policy result as the failed war on drugs.

1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care.

A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn.

The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased.

Our latest wild story.

1. A new Florida bill would make it illegal for State, County, and Local employers and special districts from firing transphobes.

It would apply to airports, hospitals, even parts of Disneyworld.

It also establishes a private business "don't say gay" policy.

Alberta Lawmakers have invoked the nonwithstanding clause to stop trans youth from accessing care.

In doing so, they blocked a provision that grants trans youth the "right to life," which was used to overturn their ban.

The latest from S. Baum.

1. In exchange for her NDAA vote, MTG has announced that her national felony trans youth care ban will go to the floor December 17th.

It is not expected to pass into law due to the U.S. Senate.

Still, it will be a terrible historic moment for anti-trans bills.

1. In a stunning new bill proposed by several New Hampshire republicans, transgender women could be charged with trespass for using the bathroom.

The bill is the first to apply to PRIVATE businesses.

It also ONLY applies to transgender women, not trans men.

While these states have laws against discrimination, those laws are useless if they are not enforced, and it appears state AGs have completely abandoned transgender people even in blue states while institutions capitulate to Trump.

I've reported on trans legislation and anti-trans actions in states across the United States for five years, including in blue states.

I distinctly remember some people getting upset at me for reporting blue-state anti-trans actions, saying that it could never happen there.

Sadly, it can.

We have always been here.

Always a pleasure to learn about new trans people who existed in history.

Especially in the wonderful state of Montana.
