So Canadá is going to let trans people get treatment with informed consent model, right?

Right?

Some of our states are really good for trans people. A map of which regions yo avoid would be far more helpful than a blanket warning.

Florida holds a unique status within these states, with travel advisories warning against visits. The “do not travel” recommendation extends to even connecting flights through Florida. As of July 1, transgender individuals could face up to a year in jail for using the bathroom that aligns with their gender identity. This risk persists even for those who have legally altered their identification documents. The state retains the power to investigate an individual's birth gender to determine if a crime has been committed simply by using the bathroom - investigations that could involve genital exams, chromosome testing, and more.

Wow, that's some serious third world country shit. Horrifying!

It's not just Florida, all of the other red states are trying to pass similar laws. The courts have been striking many of them down, though it's only a matter of time until they find a way to write them vaguely enough that the courts don't care.

Yes her map is good, I just wish it didn't show "states with a possibility in 2 years" in such a dark red color as it is misleading when compared to like... Actual bad states.
