Final Pre-Election 2024 Anti-Trans Risk Assessment Map

There are two major updates for the adult map this month. The first comes in Texas. Attorney General Ken Paxton began barring transgender adults from updating their drivers licenses, even with court orders, a major escalation in attacks against transgender people in the state, and even targeted name changes. This was not enough to justify a Do Not Travel warning initially. However, this week, Odessa, TX, a city of over 100,000 people, became the first to pass a transgender bathroom bounty law. The ordinance puts $10,000 bounties on trans people in bathrooms, and I expect other locales in the state to follow. This demanded the highest risk for Texas, not just for transgender people living there, but for those traveling through. Secondarily, national risk level has increased to high in response to a potential Trump presidency as well as increased likelihood of transgender people being a sticking point in national budget negotiations.

Combat vet films PSA supporting transgender son before death

Childs died of injuries he sustained in a car accident in May, shortly after filming the PSA. However, his widow, Jessicka Spearman Childs, discussed his unwavering dedication to their transgender child in a press release. “Eric believed in the importance of freedom for trans kids — the right to live authentically and without fear,” she said. “He saw this not as a political issue but as a human one, recognizing that every child deserves the chance to thrive and feel whole. His legacy isn’t just one of military service; it’s one of compassion, empathy, and fighting for the right of every individual to live as their true self.”

Can you spell "tears of joy?"

To the #leftists out there. You don't owe #liberals your vote, you don't owe them a damned thing, but you do owe #trans people, #disabled people, #LGBT people, #women, and disenfranchised people your vote. If you think Not #voting or voting #3rdparty will protect them then go ahead but if you have been paying attention to the election and the past presidency at all, you know that anything but a #Vote for #Harris will mean actively hurting all of these people. Both sides are complicit in genocide, but Trump will be even worse & everything I mentioned AND we will blow past 2C. this is not about voting FOR anyone. Its about making a chess move to protect as many people as possible. #Project2025 has people ready to hit the ground running to immediately start actively hurting these people. Also have fun losing all overtime pay, suckers.
