The legislation takes aim directly at trans individuals using the restroom or locker rooms, threatening those who “knowingly” and “willfully” enter facilities designated for the “opposite biological sex” with prison time. A first offense would count as a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. Those caught using the bathroom in repeated offenses, however, could be convicted as felons and face up to five years in prison.

It'll be interesting to see how this aligns with the Full Faith and Credit clause for someone who updates their birth certificate from another state that allows for that then uses the bathroom that aligns with said certificate.

You are loved. You are fine the way you are. The world has a place for you. You are not alone.

    I know Idaho is bleak right now but there are many areas much more accepting than Idaho.

    It’s hard but I strongly encourage moving somewhere more blue. As someone that lives in a blue stronghold the cults is much more accepting than these places.

    Boise isn’t down for the count yet. Last year when the state started coming after Pride flags on government property the Mayor and City Council adopted the Pride flag as our city flag. The state legislature has been trying to figure out how to override that ever since. We ran the Hammerskins out of town when they tried to have a music festival, we’ve put MAGAt business owners out of business, we’ve got a lot of teachers and librarians operating malicious compliance to the anti-woke mandates, and I’ve seen more than a few bigots get their teeth knocked out and heads stomped. They might have taken over our state but they haven’t taken over our city.

    Moscow Idaho is also still holding out for a bit longer. Lots of trans people going there as a stepping stone to get to Seattle, it's got Inland Oasis running pride and drag events and doing a lot of work making queer spaces. It is currently being literally invaded by christo fascists so I worry it's a matter of time but for now at least it's still a decent place (especially compared to most other parts of Idaho though I know that bar is so low you'd need a shovel to find it). I wish Boise all the best in their resistance

    You are love
    You are not alone
    You are going through hell, but keep going
    Be proud, be open
    Be loud, be hopeful
    Be healthy, be happy
    Be kind to yourself
    Be decisive
    Here, now
    Do not live every day as if it is your last
    Live every day as if it is your first
    Full of wonder and excitement
    As you wonder along, excited
    Marveling at the possibilities of all that stands before you
    Here, now
