Recent laws targeting transgender individuals have led to families like the Andersons fleeing their home states, facing challenges in gender transitions. The Utah Department of Corrections violated rights of a transgender inmate, leading to DOJ involvement and disagreement with the state's response.
This is silly. They transitioned as adults, fully, legally changed their name and sex and no one noticed. They had these options in the 1970's. The 'anti-trans' laws referenced cover child transition and 100% self-ID dictating sex-segregation policies. No comparison. https://t.co/3A18iagcOh

Many older transgender Americans hoped their younger counterparts wouldn't face the same challenges they did. But legislative efforts that target trans people have them fearing for the next generation, especially for those in conservative states. https://t.co/b8DkaxZTb1
A trans woman in a Utah prison faced a deepening mental health crisis amid discrimination by corrections officials, the DOJ found. Now, the feds are asking for immediate changes. But could newly passed laws keep Utah from meeting those demands?https://t.co/y9kqkY7znL

Of course they don't. No one has a right to dictate these details of identification on official documents. That's the point of ID. This was never a problem when states put processes in place to legally recognize verified, full transition. Activists demanded no 'gatekeeping.' https://t.co/8SMR864I6j
I spent the past year profiling the Andersons and how the recent spate of anti-trans laws has forced American families to flee their home states and move cross-country as so-called gender refugees. Read it in @ELLEmagazine โฌ๏ธ https://t.co/sAbBcRKiTh
