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.”
