Sometimes a visual is nice just to help hammer home just how bad things have gotten in parts of the United States. We've got a lot of fighting left to do for trans rights.

The reason Florida is listed as DO NOT TRAVEL is because if you're child claims to be trans and you travel to Florida for any length of time, even if you aren't a resident, the state is obligated to seize your child and put them in foster care and there is nothing you can do to get them back. In Texas, Tennessee, and several copycat states you can also now be arrested for wearing "gender non-conforming" clothing and the wording is vague enough that it could even be applied to a cis woman wearing men's jeans.
