I don’t really see why, this has never been hidden even remotely. Republican chuds can’t even try and hide their hatred for trans people. they don’t even try. They’ve been banging this exact drum for decades now. I think it’s disheartening when so-called “progressives” say things like this, because they’ve at least held the line on gay rights and receptive to pro-queer moves.

Assemble the lawyers and sue. Keep brining awareness. Ohio might be a bit tougher, but Michigan included gender and identity in their protected class laws. Michigan currently has an open lesbian who was one of the lawyers to get gay marraige rights at the Supreme Court as AG. Dana Nessel is a Democrat , but she is very good on LGBTQ rights.

The chuds are abusing cherry picked psudoscience NIH articles and use phobes with degrees to publish junk the vast majority of scientists disagree with as a paper over. We need more people to come out and voice their experiences in these lawsuits and provide testimony in state houses.

Unfortunately it has come down to an expensive law fight and Republicans have become extremely efficent at cookie cutter laws which they pass from state to state to state.

Community organizing. The more queer people in a given area are close with each other and know each other, the more opportunities there will be for solidarity. I unfortunately don’t know the activist groups taking a crack at specifics but it will likely be very policy wonk-y. So if someone is good at deep dives like that, connecting them to a larger network is important.

don’t worry, they’ll come up with new excuses in no time 💁🏼✨
