These non-evidence-based practices intentionally isolate and psychologically abuse kids, scapegoat parents, and divide families through blame and rejection.
On the heels of the SCOTUS decision in Chiles v. Salazar, MAP’s "LGBTQ Policy Spotlight: Laws Protecting LGBTQ Youth from Conversion 'Therapy'" highlights the many harms of this unregulated industry.

What happens next is up to us, because in this country we elect our own leaders whether in person or by mail. We will not let that change.
Visit our Democracy Map below to learn more about the current landscape of state absentee and vote by mail policies.

The constitution gives the primary authority over elections to the states, as well as regulatory power to Congress. No explicit authority over elections is given to the President.
🧵 (2/3)
Resembling last year's executive order on elections, the President's new executive order attempting to severely restrict mail voting is clearly unconstitutional and a dramatic overreach of executive power.

March 31 marks Transgender Day of Visibility (#TDOV), an annual observance that amplifies and honors transgender people. MAP continues to work day in and day out to advocate for trans people's safety, well-being, and participation in civic life.
Today is #TransDayofVisibility! Here are 3 important reminders for today:
🩵 You deserve to be visible and safe.
🩵 You deserve to represent yourself however is truest to you.
🩵 Our visibility is always cause for celebration!
Kellan is clear on the importance of this care:
"Transgender adults exist—and they were once children. Some transgender people benefit from appropriate medical care. The question clinicians face is not if any care should be provided at all, but exactly what care is best for each specific patient."
It's #LGBTQHealthAwarenessWeek, and in case you missed it, MAP's Senior Advisor for Health Policy, Kellan Baker, penned a letter to the editor on transgender health care that appeared in The New York Times.

@mapresearch.bsky.social recently released a report on the federal SOGI data landscape one year into the second Trump Administration. In our latest blog, @caromedina.bsky.social answers key questions about what these rollbacks mean for policy, research, and advocacy, and preventing misuse of data.
IDs are vital keys that unlock doors to essential freedoms that we all rely on.
"When transgender people are forced to use IDs that don't match their gender identity," Logan explains," they are more likely to experience harassment and discrimination and even violence."
Out now in @wbur.org, an interview with MAP's Director of Policy Research, Logan Casey, details the implications and harms of a new anti-transgender ID law in Kansas.
