"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!

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.

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!

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