Here is the final percentages of bills passed vs failed in 2023 48% failed 15% passe The rest rolled over to 2024 That’s over all though 30% of bathroom bans passed 20% that define trans people out of law passed While you are correct a majority do fail, a shocking number passed.

I also want to add bills don’t die in committee super often. They die because time runs out (which is what happen in WV), or don’t even make it to committee. This map is a few days out of date but a shocking number pass atleast one chamber

Hey! This is fantastic news and I agree we don’t spread the good news enough but there is a really valid reason we don’t. It’s because we can’t because we are being watched. The moment we do, anti-trans activists react with shining a light and threats immediately follow. And it sucks so much

I wrote my first article! So excited to have it published by Slate! Please give it a read! I dig into a dangerous trend that seeks to end all legal recognition of trans people and more under the guise of “women’s rights” slate.com/news-and-pol...

I have never written a poem, but I felt the need to put my hurt into words

A thousand paper cuts
Allison Chapman

It’s not the final blow that caused the death
It’s a death by a thousand paper cuts
The way we are killed, one by one
It’s a relentless attack, the sharp words, the false rhetoric

It’s the incendiary words, calling us slurs
They encourage each other to escalate further
To make the threat, to throw the punch, to pull the trigger
It consumes their lives and swallows them whole

In the name of children they destroy our existence
Burn our books, steal our pride, beg us to commit suicide
As they kick us harder into the mud and murder our youth within our schools
I have to ask why are we the ones who are a threat?

What have we done to deserve this life
A life of hoping for another day
So we might cry for help and beg and plea
To stop the death of a thousand paper cuts

‼️We are now tracking 400 NEW ANTI-LGBTQ+ BILLS for 2024. Bill are progressing quickly through legislatures with 85 having made it at least passed committee. The right is doubling down on online obscenity laws and book bans this year along with trans rights.

BREAKING: In response to overwhelming pushback from the community, the Ohio Department of Health has announced that it will drop the proposed requirements as they pertain to adults. There's still tons of work to be done, but this is HUGE. odh.ohio.gov/wps/wcm/conn...

Memo: Response to Public Comment to Gender-Related Rules Date: February 7, 2024
On January 5, 2024, the Ohio Department of Health posted for public comment draft rules regarding the collection of data regarding the treatment of gender-related conditions in Ohio, as well as the creation of quality standards for those hospitals and ambulatory surgical facilities that treat gender-related conditions.
The Department is grateful to those individuals and organizations who took time to offer comments as we seek to adopt rules to protect Ohio’s children. Having reviewed the submitted comments and considered the feedback, the Department has revised the proposed rules. Highlights of this revision include:
• In response to privacy concerns, the rules are now even more clear that the data collected will not identify individual patients.
• The comments revealed a significant interest in the original draft’s impact on adult patients. The revised quality standard rules are now applicable only to care

One of the first things Nazis did was burn books containing research into transgender medicine. History is repeating itself and no one is paying attention
