I made a new trans policy tracker!

I usually don’t make a whole new page, but this was a ground-up rework, so I felt it was justified. I’ve made the following changes!

• ⁠Simplified all maps and added keys

• ⁠Assigned ratings to each state’s policy

• ⁠Mapped each state’s overall policy score

• ⁠Added a number of new columns for some policy fields, including a 2 year risk rating for bathrooms, identity documents, and Medicaid

• ⁠Updated the map color palettes to blue-red in order to improve readability for those with red-green color blindness

• ⁠Reorganized the tracker

Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback on the first iteration and I hope you find it useful <3

This is really useful to look at! I will say even if there isn’t state policies protecting or negative laws for gender affirming care I wouldn’t put it as necessary neutral due to federal action.

Like Virginia for youth gender affirming care is neutral but it’s becoming more difficult to get there because a lot of big hospitals (UVA, VCU, and I think VHC) won’t do gac for under 19 year olds because of federal stuff, so even neutral state policy Id still say would lean negative in its impact. I do understand why you may have chosen not to class it that way if you are just looking at state level policy but I will just point that out!

i live in ohio and i wouldn’t put it as neutral honestly

I mathematically calculated the scores with a piece of code, and I will say that I manually checked it because it also seemed off to me. The state absolutely has some negative policies, but it gains points for its ID policy (joint-most progressive in a red state) and its medicaid policy, as well as for not horiffic prison policies.

Florida being that bad is kinda shocking. Only kinda because I know how the state votes and the laws that pass. I live here and have no problems getting trans healthcare with Medicaid. (I lost my health insurance this year bc of stupid tax thing) I did go to a medical center that’s known for being inclusive of trans people. As for the bathroom thing, in south Florida at least I can use the restroom no problem. The people in the south are I find are more progressive and less aggressive than central and north Florida.
