Short summary of updates: The legislative season of 2026 in state legislatures has led to continued degradation of transgender rights across the United States. Meanwhile, nationwide, federal policies continue to lead to enormous legal difficulties for transgender people. In the latest update, Idaho becomes the fourth-ever "Do Not Travel" state for transgender people, and may be the harshest of all such states, where bathroom usage can lead to 5-year prison sentences. Meanwhile, South Carolina expanded its bathroom ban to universities, causing its risk to rise to "Worst Laws Passed." For youth, the map remains relatively unchanged, with Idaho likewise elevating to "Do Not Travel."

Hey, Idaho!

Do you need help fighting your forest fires?

Nope, sorry. Can't risk going to prison for peeing in a bathroom. You're on your own.

Let us know how that works out for you.

I really wish I could just throw my clothes, meds, and Portia in a bag and get out of here. I've tried to get my friend from Ohio to come with me because, honestly, it would be better for both of us (for different reasons). *sighs* This timeline.....*sighs*
