We’ve all seen the scary scary news as states around the US are passing laws to restrict the bodily autonomy of trans and gender non-conforming folx in so many states. And we wonder, what can we do? How can we help? Here we are in NY, where we have so many supportive laws (though there are some people trying to put restrictions on New Yorkers too, and not everyone follows the laws that are in place).

Here are some maps about the laws being passed across the country. They can go out of date quickly, as laws get passed, but these will give you an idea:
