HRC's 2023 State By State Scorecard On Trans Issues

[VickySGV]

No state got an absolutely perfect score on the good stuff, but the "usual suspects" got a nearly perfect low score.

Carolyn's Giblet of Shame Award goes to the five states with all red X's.  🤯 😡.

 

The Kudos and Kisses Award goes to all the states with only one or two X's.  👍

 

The rest get my Misery of Mediocrity prize.  Way not to go, you middle-of-the-packers.  😛  Better luck next year.

The giblet of shame?  Would that be a heart, liver, or gizzard?  😆  Mind if I borrow that saying?

Interesting. Even in a number of states with support, transgender healthcare protections are still lagging significantly. I wonder if the conservatives have their own version of the scorecard so they can keep score of our eradication.

I did a little further drill down into what they meant in that category, it is not legal protections all alone, it is the availability of care generally.  In California here, all health insurance sold in the state MUST include coverage for all Trans medical procedures.  In the urban areas such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Sacramento the care available is high standard.  Get out of the urban areas and into the rural areas and even with the insurance coverage, the medical providers are legitimately not competent to handle Trans issues and for that matter other medical issues including problem pregnancies and conditions related to farm labor by non-white field laborers.  Not surprisingly these are the areas that provided us with a former Speaker Of The House of Representatives.

One thing is incorrect with Mississippi. It states that there isn't transcare for adults that are non veterans that's not true or at least it wasn't a couple of months ago. I was talking to another transwoman and she gets taking care of unless she was lying.

Sure, AYS, it's not copyright protected.  I also use it to describe when a knight throws down his glove to challenge someone to a duel.  "Throwing down the giblet," in other words.  🤣
