https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/over-400000-transgender-people-have>Across the United States, transgender people have been battered by a relentless wave of anti-trans legislation from Republican-led states. Under the Trump presidency, that pressure has only intensified, leaving transgender people increasingly dependent on whether their state government is willing to protect them or abandon them. While many states have weakened protections or embraced outright hostility, a smaller number have taken the opposite approach—suing the federal government, refusing to cooperate with discriminatory directives, and affirming trans people’s right to live freely. Transgender people are noticing. According to a new poll from the Movement Advancement Project and NORC, an estimated 400,000 transgender people have already fled their home states for safer ones since the 2024 election, relocating specifically in response to anti-trans laws and policies, making it among the largest relocations in modern history in the US.>Surveyors at the Movement Advancement Project polled more than 1,000 LGBTQ+ households, asking respondents about their perceptions and actions since the 2024 election. When asked whether they had moved to a different state, 9% of transgender respondents said that they had. That figure translates into a striking level of displacement. According to Gallup, transgender people make up roughly 1.3% of the U.S. population—about 4.5 million people nationwide. If 9% of that population has moved states, it amounts to approximately 401,000 transgender people relocating in the wake of the election, an extraordinary migration driven by political conditions rather than personal preference.
>>42276699I'm not surprised doesn't america literally have a do not travel warning for trans people?
this is because of faithstop tolerating faith
>>42276727Other countries have warned their citizens about trans people travelling to America and the risks, idk if america would explicitly put a warning out but im also out of the loop. >>42279041Humans have moved beyond the need for organized religon and it is only holding us back anymore.
>>42279112>organized religonbut it goes much deeper than that and doesn't require any specific or in general any kind of religion or spirituality, the current administration and the right-wing party are entirely predicated on faith and the rejection of evidence and reason
>>42279123I agree. Most conservatives can’t argue against lgbt+ issues without bringing faith into it and openly refuse to acknowledge factual evidence. It’s getting a bit much and has heavy roots in religion (following the word of one leader who claims to be enlightened by spirituality or belief)
even if it is all you experiencing yourself, everything is you, IAM, isn't that a bit scary especially when combined with infinity?noone else but yourself split into infinite fragments for infinite time.hopefully god is not lonely.
