About the broader push by some states to pass laws protecting trans people from anti-trans laws in other states

https://twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1524200246330417154
A Twitter thread about CT's law, which was signed into law today(haven't found an article about it specifically yet). In addition to that, the law also attempts to enable people to undercut bounties and bounty hunters, potentially allowing targets to sue for damages.

As federal protections are destroyed by our extremist and illegitimate Supreme Court, you're going to see a lot of interstate strife like this occurring, which will over time undermine national cohesion and increase the chances of legal conflicts between states (eventually, this could lead to violent incidents).

But, of course, Connecticut is 100% in the right here and this is a great initiative to protect people who are being unfairly persecuted by other states.

Shouldn't be necessary for states to do this but it's good that some are at least.

I'm the girl to ask about Connecticut! Depends on how important the coastline and the (mostly shitty) beaches are to you there are *some* decent beaches though.
The Greater Stamford or New Haven areas are probably your best bet, though I know my friend found good resources in the Middletown area as well. After those, the Hartford area is your next best bet (the weather sucks ass inland. CT weather sucks in general though).
Then you're down to the dregs, but the state is so small you're usually never far from good things.

It warms my heart way more than it probably should to see a state doing the opposite of what all the hateful conservative politicians are doing. It's just so rare to see liberals do anything these days, it's kinda sad how happy this story makes me.

I mean, hot babes are everywhere, but CT has a fairly robust educational system subject to the usual limitations from pre-K all the way through college. So they're often smart and well-educated in addition to hot.

This is objectively true. The pizza is mostly good even as far as Middletown. You can't throw a stone without hitting some local pizza joint around here (even dessicated de-industrialized husks like Bridgeport get it right). New Haven has many incredible pizza places even outside Pepe's, Sally's, and Modern. Oh, and Insomnia Cookies. They have outrageous cookies, deliver in the immediate area (alas, I am too far!), and are open to 1AM (there are like four universities in and around New Haven, you see).

Kinda burying the lead there by not mentioning that this protects those seeking abortions in the topic title.
But anyway, good stuff. Hopefully other states decide to follow suit with the abortion protections and eventually dot the US, ensuring broad access

I wonder why a trans woman who first learned the news from and linked analysis from a trans rights activist would zero in on the trans part.
I also wonder why you think that focusing on the trans rights angle is burying the lede. Both access to transition care and safe abortion procedures (among other forms of pre-natal care) go to issues of bodily autonomy and right to privacy.

Why did you spell it "lede"
But anyway, the topical issue is the abortion aspect, what with the news Roe vs. Wade news so it's odd you wouldn't even mention that part in the OP, especially considering it concerns far more people

It doesn't even have the word abortion in it, wtf are you talking about freakshow? Lmao I'm being gaslit so hard rn
I was talking about the topic title specifically as well, so double wtf. I'm gonna just assume you're drunk or otherwise incapacitated and chalk it up to that

First off, "lede" is actually how you spell the word in that context. You have access to Google, use it.

But bro, are you really going to start a fight over this? All you had to do is mention that this also helps people in need of an abortion, no need to throw shade. A trans woman is naturally going to find the part about trans people being protected more relevant to them than abortion rights being protected.

Both are important. I'm glad both are happening. What's the argument here?

"Throw shade" after condescending to me about googling things, lol.

I meant the topic title, obviously, that's why my first post mentioned that specifically. Also quite weird to pretend the contents of the tweet count as part of the OP when most won't even bother opening it much less being visible from the thread list

Precisely my point. Topic title should have mentioned the actual topical bit to capture interest, it's a hot potato topic right now. Just an odd omission

They also just explicitly state that theyre sea-lioning in a response to fox, its utterly ridiculous. Its already bad enough that trans people cant exist without being criticized for something, but getting a legitimate victory protecting our rights just to have some asshole come in here and be like, you think trans rights are more important than abortions?? stings so much.
