TFP’s Last Legislative Updates 9/19, 2025 Trans rights are still under attack in the United States. Please visit our website linked below to learn about your state and contact your reps. Here's a thread of today's updates: I respect this audience too much to sugarcoat this, so I will say it at the top. We have decided to shut down the Trans Formations Project, permanently, effective immediately. This will be our final newsletter. To those who have been part of our story, part of this journey these past years - thank you. Whatever it was that brought you here, to these words, to seek these inconvenient truths, it was a choice to listen. It was a choice to question what you were told by those in power about trans people. It was a choice to respect trans autonomy enough to listen to a scrappy group of volunteer researchers with nothing but immense amounts of time and passion. When I founded the Trans Formations Project in June 2021, I would never have believed what would come of it. What began as a group chat about how to read bills and trying to remember Robert's Rules from college quickly gained traction none of us had ever anticipated. I was 24 years old when TFP started. In 2021, I put out a call on twitter for helpers to look into anti-trans bills. Slowly and clumsily, we learned. Those who know me personally know I often say that my only true virtue is persistence. That was exemplified by everyone at TFP. In 2022, our research and analysis was shared by Alok Menon, sparking attention from many other celebrities. In 2023, we grew larger still, and I was deeply honored to be able to meet Alok Menon themself at the Trans Equality Now Awards, where I was presented the 20th anniversary Leadership and Advocacy Award from the National Center for Transgender Equality for the work of the Trans Formations Project. The last one awarded. I dedicated my speech to the volunteers of TFP. I spoke about how TFP is not a testament to me or any other individual - it’s a testament to what happens when a community works on a task that is too big for any one person alone. I spoke about how so many of us are told to wait for a hero to arrive... and how that convinces us not to become collaborators in our own time and capacity. Throughout the brief and brilliant history of the Trans Formations Project, hundreds of people have volunteered with us. Thousands have told us they benefitted from our research and analysis. Tens of thousands have read our work and hundreds of thousands have benefitted from it indirectly. Since 2021 we have tracked 1855 anti-trans bills, analyzed them, and summarized them in plain language. Without AI. Just actual human volunteers doing the work. Since 2021, 234 of those anti-trans bills have passed into law. This final newsletter of the Trans Formations Project, is our 183rd newsletter. Each one containing invaluable tracking, analysis, and news information for the public as well as researchers and organizers. But that does not mean it's over. I am a student of queer history, and often cite how I found my queerness, and my transness in particular, buried in zines written by queers during the AIDS crisis in the United States. They taught me, even after death, that information is power. Political power, yes, but also power to exercise autonomy, to make informed decisions, and to find community and organize. As I saw the tides turning once more towards open fascism, I looked to queer history again. And, as always, I found trans people. Trans people who lived, who loved, who organized, who laughed and cried. Trans people who were killed for existing. The Nazi Party of Germany committed trans genocide in 1933, the year they took power. World War II was not declared until 1939. World War II did not end until 1945. Before the Nazi Party took power, Berlin was the most openly queer city on earth. The Institute for Sexual Sciences was an advocacy, research, and medical organization that advocated for feminist, queer, and trans liberation. They hosted scholars, prescribed HRT, offered early vaginoplasties, gave trans patients legal documentation, engaged in political organizing, and so much more. The Library of the Institute of Sexual Sciences hosted 20,000 volumes, many of them unique, on gender, sexuality, and feminism. You have seen the photo of the Nazis burning those books in 1933 all your life, stripped of the context of trans genocide

Today’s Legislative Updates September 11, 2025 Trans rights are still under attack in the United States. Please visit our website linked below to learn about your state and contact your reps. Here's a thread of today's updates: Bathroom bills deny access to public restrooms by gender or trans identity. They increase danger without making anyone any safer and have even prompted attacks on cis and trans people alike. Many national health and anti-sexual assault organizations oppose these bills. Old Bill: Michigan sent bill HB4024 to the Senate Committee On Government Operations this past Tuesday. Digital Censorship Bills describe any legislation that potentially targets Queer and Trans media/material for removal. They typically do this by using vague and broad definitions of "Obscene" or "Harmful to Minors" and then banning such content from being accessible to minors, which often either removes the material entirely or requires age verification methods in order to view. This includes online censorship bills, library book bans, and other such legislation. Old Bill: Wisconsin bill SB130 had Senate Amendment 1 offered by Senator Wanggaard yesterday. These are other anti-trans bills that either fit multiple categories or stand on their own. New Bill: The U.S. House introduced bill US HB5166 last Friday and placed it on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 193. This is a budget bill with many concerning provisions that enforce the current administration’s many harmful executive orders and that would specifically restrict any funds it allocates from being used by the Federal Employees Health Benefits program to cover gender-affirming care. Old Bills: Wisconsin withdrew bill AB58 from the House Committee on Rules today and referred it to today’s calendar. Assembly Substitute Amendment 1 was also offered by Representative Rivera-Wagner.

Here's a thread of today's updates: Healthcare bills go against professional and scientific consensus that gender-affirming care saves lives. Denying access will cause harm. Providers are faced with criminal charges, parents are threatened with child abuse charges, and intersex children are typically exempted. Old Bill: New Hampshire passed bill HB377 last Thursday after both chambers agreed in their conference committee reports and will send the bill to the governor soon. Educational Censorship and Student Suppression bills force schools to misgender or deadname students, ban instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity, and make schools alert parents if they suspect a child is trans. They remove life-saving affirmation and support for trans youth. Old Bill: North Carolina presented bill S227 to the governor last Friday. Trans Erasure bills create legal definitions of terms like “sex” designed to exclude or erase trans identity and insert them into various laws. This can have many different effects, depending on what laws are affected. They can force a male or female designation based on sex assigned at birth. Some target anti-discrimination statutes, legally empowering trans discrimination. Old Bills: New Hampshire passed bill HB148 yesterday and will send it to the governor soon.

Trans Erasure bills create legal definitions of terms like “sex” designed to exclude or erase trans identity and insert them into various laws. This can have many different effects, depending on what laws are affected. They can force a male or female designation based on sex assigned at birth. Some target anti-discrimination statutes, legally empowering trans discrimination. Old Bills: Texas distributed the committee report for bill HB229 to the House floor today. Arizona’s governor vetoed bill HB2438 last Friday, though a veto override attempt is still possible.
