February is upon us, and the picture for anti-transgender legislation has begun to emerge. In 2015 there were 20 state-level bills intended to target transgender people. All of them were either defeated or carried over to the next legislative session. This year has seen the number grow to at least 28 pieces of legislation, and we'll likely see more before the sessions are over.

I haven't lived in Virginia for decades, but I was born there, and I notice Virginia has a proposed law that would prevent changing my birth certificate when I transition.  (Currently there is a procedure for doing it.)

So even if you don't live in a state that's considering a transphobic law, it could affect you.

Oh, brilliant... Just what we needed....

I have to say I love number five. Perhaps the conservatives are just infatuated with the idea of making us out to be rapists.
