@CloeyCallahan Great episode, @CloeyCallahan! Enjoyed hearing these stories.

"The raft of anti-transgender bills... combined with increasingly violent behavior and messaging from the far right, has added an extra level of dread to not only touring, but simply existing."

Great piece by @thejeffgage, along with @trans_bills data!

For @RollingStone, I took a look at the impact anti-trans legislation is having on transgender musicians and their ability to tour and play live music. With vital insights from the likes of @anjimilemusic, @iamsheadiamond, @vivekshraya and more https://t.co/fAdDdtJYXj

Another fantastic @DeathPanel_ episode. Nuanced commentary on life, health, and law amid the deluge of anti-trans bills. Encourage everyone to take a listen & support their work!

In one year, we're more than tripled the number of anti-trans bills we're tracking in a single year. We're now at 550+.

🧵 Here's a recap of updates I made this month to help people navigate the information. (1/8)

(7/8) All this cleans up the homepage! Instead of long lists, we have two new sections: an overview of national bills & 2023 passed bills.

[agbales @agbales]

Lots of updates this month to make Trans Legislation Tracker easier to use. The first is a dedicated page to bills passed in each her. Here's this year's page:

[Trans Legislation Tracker @trans_bills]

In 2023, 75 anti-trans bills have already been passed in 21 states.

We're tracking them here.

[Rep. Zooey Zephyr @ZoAndBehold]

Today 14 trans & nonbinary legislators expressed our concern to President Biden regarding the proposed Title IX policy change.

Trans people belong in sports. Policies must begin with the presumption of full inclusion & provide a pathway for participation in all levels of sports.

I hope you'll all go read this piece. Proud to be able to talk with Matt about this terrifying moment and share data and quotes for this story.

[Trans Legislation Tracker @trans_bills]

Fantastic piece by @mattshuham at @HuffPost about the escalating rhetoric and campaign of terror coming from the right during this year's wave of anti-trans legislation.

Proud to see Trans Legislation Tracker data driving these graphics & informing the story. Also appreciating the diligence of the @axios team and the crucial context in this piece. Read & share!

[Axios @axios]

The sudden flood of state-level efforts to restrict transgender rights is being fueled by many of the Christian and conservative groups that led the charge against Roe v. Wade.

Happy that Trans Legislation Tracker data supported Elliot Kukla's essay exploring trans history, language, religion, and this moment of escalating crisis.

[Trans Legislation Tracker @trans_bills]

"The growing wave of anti-trans bills in the US represents not just a trans crisis, but a humanitarian crisis. History has shown countless times that when a government limits one group’s legal rights, it will eventually do the same to other groups."
