The house just made it illegal for trans people to use the bathroom they want in the capital, and Kansas, Montana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and West Virginia have banned people from changing their gender on their ID.
Tennessee also requires an ID to vote, so if a transgender woman shows up with a big old “M” on her state-issued ID, some fake-news-stolen-election minded poll worker can keep her from voting.
Granted, these don’t outlaw hormone therapy or anything, but these are gender affirming actions outlawed by the government.
Impossible is a strong word. But in places where gender affirming care isn’t accessible, rather that’s because insurance won’t pay for it, or because states have passed legislation against it, or legislation to deny hospitals that they fund resources if they offer it, then the option becomes the black market.
