Passage of a transgender sanctuary bill in Maine elevates its status among safe states for transgender people, for both youth and adults. Conversely, Idaho experiences heightened risk for transgender adults due to anti-trans bills, while Alabama becomes the most restrictive state with new bans impacting the transgender community.
The creator of the legislative risk map, @erininthemorn, highlights the necessity of assessing risks for transgender individuals in their home states, as they face various threats such as forced medical detransition, bathroom usage restrictions, and identity document bans.
Initially focused on risks to transgender youth, the map now emphasizes risks for transgender adults due to the increase in bills targeting them. While the youth map simplifies to red and blue, categorizing states as protecting or criminalizing trans youth, the adult map gains prominence for its relevance.
