Sometimes a visual is nice just to help hammer home just how bad things have gotten in parts of the United States. We've got a lot of fighting left to do for trans rights.

Oh, my god. I'm cis-gender but this map looks like some dystopian shithole. It's so surreal, something you should never have to see outside of tv shows like The Handmaid's Tale.

Yeah, that's why I feel it's important to share things like this. The trans community knows how bad things are, but I'm not sure the populace as a whole understands how dire our situation is right now.

In fact, thinking about this inspired me to go on a bit of a rant on Mastodon. https://retro.pizza/@UngodlyAudrey/110606237101536700

That was a damn fine rant that I wish a lot more people would see. Thank you for speaking your mind about it and...whatever it's worth, I'm sorry you have to try an exist alongside these knuckle-dragging hate-mongers.

Take a look at the 2020 presidential election map and compare it to this one. There’s very little difference.
