Another year, another cluster of hateful anti-transgender bills proposed in our state legislatures. This week, we round up some of the worst laws passed this spring in Southern states to further bully and harass trans people. In states like Tennessee and Georgia, this year’s bills are no longer only aiming at issues like sports and bathroom access, but are aiming directly at the presence — or even the mention — of trans people altogether.
In happier news, we also check in on this weekend’s Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival in Louisiana. (Chart from TransLegislation.com)
