Is 185 not already high enough? It seems odd to characterize “anti trans (healthcare) bills stayed essentially stagnant at ~185” as anything other than “that’s a shit ton of discriminatory legislature aimed squarely at trans people’s access to healthcare.” Also, unless I’m reading that website very wrong, that’s only healthcare bills. The total targeting trans people is in the 600s for 2023 and 2024, with a 9% increase from 2023 to 2024.

Trump made headlines just yesterday for fresh comments promising anti trans executive actions on day one of his presidency. I truly can’t figure out the logic behind this post. Anti trans legislation isn’t going anywhere, it’s increasing actually, and no one should think that Republicans are focusing any less on trans people today than they were a week or a month or a year ago.

I’m all for seeking sources of joy and optimism, but ignorance to reality isn’t a viable path forward.

Seriously, we got one line of support from Walz and Harris’ offer to follow the law, which is a far cry from supporting trans rights when you consider the laws being passed in many states.

Democrats who were pressed on trans rights this election cycle consistently backed down and conceded and moved towards discriminatory Republican positions.

I wish Harris had won, I would feel much more comfortable with the future prospects of my rights the next 4 years. But anyone who views the Democratic party as truly supportive of trans rights, certainly in any kind of national sense, is sorely mistaken.
