Transgender people are beaten for using the "right" bathroom.
A transgender 17 year old girl's jaw was broken after she was beaten for using the men's restroom, she had to be hospitalised.
A group of cis men attacked a transgender man for using the women's restroom. The only one who was arrested was the trans man.
Transgender people in Idaho could be subject to up to five years in prison for "using the wrong bathroom"
Republicans in Idaho have passed a bill that could imprison trans people who "use the wrong bathroom" for up to five years and mark them as convicted felons.
US prisons now forcibly detransition their trans inmates.
Trans inmates now are forced off of hormones and subjected to conversion therapy. Trans women can also be forced to cut their hair and even have their bras taken away, leaving them exposed.
Trans people are subject to sexual abuse in prison worldwide.
A trans woman was raped repeatedly and forcibly detransitioned while being held in a men's prison.
A trans woman was denied her hormones, forced to shower in front of cis men- when she refused to strip in front of guards, she was violently assaulted.
A trans man was repeatedly subjected to unnecessary and non-consensual "genital exams" in prison. At one point, after refusing to be examined, he was placed in solitary confinement until he agreed.
Prison guards subjected a trans woman to invasive strip searches, cavity searches, and sexual assault, all while repeatedly degrading her.
So what happens now, for transgender people living in these conditions?
If you cannot use basic amenities without being hauled off to prison, that limits your ability to even go outside. You cannot do certain things, you cannot be outside for too long, if you can't use the bathroom.
"Just leave" except trans people are often too poor to leave, are too young too leave, are indigenous to the area being subjected to these authoritarian laws, might have nowhere to go to.
This is not about safety. They genuinely, honestly, want transgender people to just give up and stop existing. They want to force transgender people into the closet, into detransition- even if it means they're dead.
Being trans and not committing suicide should not be a revolutionary, transgressive act.
