"Since 2023, almost three dozen anti-trans bills have been introduced in Georgia, four of which have passed, according to the Trans Legislation Tracker. There was a ban on trans girls playing on scholastic women's sports teams, a ban on using state funds to provide transition-related health care to incarcerated people, a ban on providing evidence-based medical treatment for minors with gender dysphoria,"
"However, "even blue states are starting to see problems," Helms told the Bay Area Reporter. California's governor reportedly moved to kill pro-LGBTQ bills behind the scenes; New Jersey school boards have engaged in a coordinated effort to forcibly out trans students to hostile parents; and hospitals located within Democratic strongholds across the country are violating state equal protections laws to deny trans kids access to health care,"
Monica Helms, a Navy veteran and creator of the original transgender pride flag, is fleeing the country with her wife, Darlene Wagner, due to anti-LGBTQ persecution. The couple launched a GoFundMe to finance relocation abroad. They live in Georgia, labeled a high-risk area for transgender people, where nearly three dozen anti-trans bills have been introduced since 2023 and four have passed. Laws enacted include bans on trans girls in scholastic women's sports, restrictions on transition-related care for incarcerated people, and prohibitions on gender dysphoria treatment for minors. Transgender people across the United States are considering leaving due to increasing legal and social threats.
