New York Just Became a Safe Haven State for Transgender Youth and Their Families
New York Just Became a Safe Haven State for Transgender Youth and Their Families
Ten other states and Washington, D.C. have implemented similar laws.
This is good news. Glad to see some states doing what they can support trans youth. These kids don’t deserve to be victimized by malicious assholes using their lives as a wedge issue for fascist policies.
22As someone in New York, this is wonderful news!
Also, for anyone looking to get out of a state for their own safety, consider reaching out to a real estate company in the area you are looking to move to. Specifically, find a branch in the general area and call their office. They will usually have an admin or admin assistant you can talk to directly who will be able to help you find local resources, and they may even be able to help with things other than housing.
My husband is such an assistant, and he has already helped a family move here to escape anti-trans laws. There are plenty of us who are willing and able to help in any way we can.
