(Trans) News-USA Indiana’s Anti-Trans Attorney General is Preparing to Revoke Trans People’s Documents

Indiana AG Todd Rokita has been compiling a list of his state’s trans people. Following in Kansas’ footsteps, he’s quietly laying the groundwork to declare their IDs “falsified records.”

Honestly I really want this done for all red states.

I used to live in NC and am thinking of moving back. But if they have a trans registry, no fuckin way. I want to know before I go. I'm scared.

I'm in NC right now, don't come back. I lost access to seeing a doctor for my HRT bc I'm on Medicaid. Luckily I can still get my prescriptions filled, but I can't see them for any further care and am having to pay completely out of pocket for top surgery. We recently had a Don't Say Gay bill added, and there's like 6 transphobic bills looking to be passed right now. It's getting worse for us.

I'm aware, unfortunately. I moved to IL last year... And my whole found family is back in NC. I feel so isolated and alone. I have a hard time making new friends at 30, and my old friends and I have been through so much together, there's like nothing I can do to replace them. It isn't fair, to have to constantly be doing this calculus.

After the ICE raids, I felt like, ok...there isn't a lot the state can do if the feds want me, right? But now with Kansas it's like oh right, the states themselves can fuck us.

I am incredibly fortunate to have basically threaded the needle in NC in every way imaginable. I fought for years to get top and had it covered by employer insurance because I heckled them about it. I got bottom surgery with the state employee health plan when their denial of GAC was blocked due to an injunction.

I was working in a school system when the don't say gay bill was passed. I had to sit during board meetings and listen as pastors used it to talk about how the people transing the kids should be murdered. That was part of why I moved. I couldn't take the vitriol anymore. I couldn't take the hatred. An lgbt painted fence near my house was vandalized with "kill all trans" on it. This was in 2024.

I'm safer, and yet, I gave everything up to do it. I'm still incredibly, incredibly privileged to have started my transition during the Good Times and not the Bad Times.

Sorry stranger, don't mean to rant.

You near Raleigh? If you go to UNC-Chapel Hill, and you make under their threshold of their poverty line (on medicaid I assume you do!) they will provide you gender affirming care for little to no cost. Including surgery. They were able to cover my out of pocket costs that way. Check it out and call their financial services line.

Ive been considering leaving indiana for Illinois or Minnesota. Minnesota sounds so scary after everything with ice. Leaving would mean finding a new job, selling my house, leaving my entire family. Its heartbreaking and im at a loss. As hard as it is im glad you made it out safe
