"Much of the mainstream media coverage of anti-trans legislation has focused on families of trans youth that have been forced to flee their home states. Often left out, however, are the stories of subterranean survival from the invisible majority of young trans Texans, mostly youth of color, who can’t leave."

~ Marisol Cortez

Pressure!

People in the U.S. need to pressure Congress and Senate NOW! Demand they not throw #transpeople :heart_trans: under the bus!

Emails, phone calls, texts, snailmail, protests, meetings in their offices:

They must protect #transrights or not get elected (Ex: Allred in #Texas, Harris)

Democrats in Texas were thrashed in last week’s election. It wasn’t supposed to go like this. For @TexasObserver, Gus Bova looks at how it happened, and offers a couple of things to think about.

All, I can’t tell you that it’s more important than ever right now to support the Observer and other local journalism. I mean, I’d thought Kamala Harris would win a narrow victory and that Trump wouldn’t do a whole lot better in Texas than he did in 2020. In other words, for the moment, I’m out of both the prediction game and the game of even just making confident statements. All I can say is that Trump’s explicit plan is to hurt specific people — undocumented immigrants spring first to mind, but they are one of many groups — and many of these people live in Texas. And that the Observer intends to be here, on the ground, exposing these harms as they play out. We did it last time, we plan to do it again, I suppose I can also say that investigative journalism, the bulk of what we do, isn’t terribly contingent on politics. Whoever’s in charge, they want to hide things; we dig, and we publish.

“There are really serious implications for LGBTQ communities in states where we’re seeing more severe restrictions from the legislative side. It also emboldens folks to go out and harass LGBTQ people, trans and gender non-conforming people within their own communities.”

In my latest for Austin Free Press, I took #GLAAD data on hate incidents and looked at how bigotry has manifested in Central #Texas. Incidents have included assault, protests, and even a murder. https://austinfreepress.org/legislating-intolerance-anti-lgbtq-legislation-tied-to-massive-rise-in-hate-incidents/

Texas Teen Suffering Miscarriage Dies Days After Baby Shower Due to Abortion Ban as Mom Begs Doctors to 'Do Something'

Nevaeh Crain, 18, died after three emergency room visits without proper medical care during a miscarriage. The teen was six months pregnant and doctors said they couldn’t intervene until confirming “fetal demise” due to the Texas abortion ban.

For the foreseeable future I can’t get my name legally changed and because of that won’t be able to vote as my true self. This is because the attorney general of #Texas is so obsessed with trans girls that he has directed our department of motor vehicles deny gender marker changes on a driver’s license. The directive also states to send him, to a specific email address, all documents associated with the name and gender marker change.

Activists for #Palestine repeatedly interrupted the Kamala Harris / Beyoncé rally in #Houston on October 25, demanding an end to genocide. The crowd reacted with hostility, even throwing a bottle at the head of one protester. Two members of the group reached out to me to discuss their experiences, out today in Deceleration: https://deceleration.news/protesters-disrupt-harris-houston-rally-to-demand-an-end-to-genocide/

A Pregnant Teenager Died After Trying to Get Care in Three Visits to #Texas Emergency Rooms
==

It took three ER visits and 20 hours before a #hospital admitted Nevaeh Crain, 18, as her condition worsened.

Doctors insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm “fetal demise.”

She’s one of at least two Texas women who died under the state’s #abortion ban.

Elon Musk's plan to pull up stakes from Delaware and reincorporate Tesla in Texas may not give the electric carmaker's CEO the greater freedom he desires, legal experts say. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/02/02/companies/texas-shift-musk-legal-experts/?utm_content=buffera6117&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #business #companies #elonmusk #tesla #us #texas

Shifting Tesla incorporation to Texas may not give Musk what he wants

Musk is not the first corporate leader to suffer a loss in Delaware court and question the state's position on companies.
