It's only a matter before a red state tries to extradite a trans person from safe state, which will comply in the spirit of bipartisanship. Or maybe they won't, in which case it will go to the Supreme Court which will rule just the way you expect them to. Fuck this depraved country
Supreme Court might be idiotic assholes but I really doubt they will rule in favor of forced extradition to a different state. This is something pushover blue states might do on their own, but for the federal government to say that state laws apply nationwide would open a can of worms.
Edit: I was wrong. https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/article-4/section-2/clause-2/overview-of-the-extradition-interstate-rendition-clause
i don't even have words for this one other than . shit's getting worse, the dems will refuse to do anything, and unless some serious left wing labor/political org can get formed real fast real quick then there's basically nothing we can do about it
God damn America, that's in the bible
To be fair, we need to be forming that serious leftist org asap for a billion other reasons but yes, I tried to get libs to care about trans rights beyond tokenizing us when I was in DSA and a lot of cis people still don't get it
Maybe cross post this onto blahaj zone (even though some of the users are weird pissy freaks about hexbears posting there, it's probably important enough to get them aware of this and stuff)
Sooo... I could be prosecuted for being a mod?
probably, or just posting anywhere really
"Your content can be seen in Tennessee. Guilty!"
At this point they'll try to extradite international posters for existing while trans
we gotta be more secretive than ISIS online because transphobes are mad
I know this is serious, but I eagerly await Biden's response. He cares about trans rights, doesn't he?
He hasn't said jack shit while trans and their allies are systemically incriminated across the country, hexs too busy comittng multiple genocides. He hears you. He sees you. He just Does Not Care.
This applies over state lines and states that do not have anti-extradition laws relating to trans rights can extradite you to Tennessee.
Is there a place where I can check which states do/don't have said laws? or is that included in that first map you posted?
my advice would be do not count on any state protecting you. Do your best to protect yourself and those around you first. Even in those states with good laws, there is no guarantee they will cover things like: actions committed in another state, actions taken as a third party (not doctor or patient) to facilitate trans care, actions facilitating DIY HRT (could probably be treated as drug trafficking), etc.
But yeah I think that first map more or less lines up with the anti-extradition/anti-subpoena type laws that are on the books.
in addition: states with good laws are only that way as long as the Democrats, the party addicted to shooting off its own dick all the time, can remain in power. I live in MO. We were considered the bellwether state in terms of electoral politics but post-Obama, we are now one of the reddest states in the country. This can happen to any of y'all bc the Democrats are incompetent and evil.

I wonder if that state democratic party is gutted like ours is. that's part of what drives me crazy about the election cycle, the libs keep yelling at me like we can flip the state blue with no party infrastructure and a centrist genocider at the top of the ballot. lol I'm writing myself in for governor
first map
If you or anyone needs help setting these things up or creating guides please reach out. I’d be happy to help.
Help would be very much appriciated, pls pm me!!!
Death to the United States of America.
So, if I live in a non-explicitly-transphobic state, can I be extradited to Tennesee for say, posting advice about HRT online, even though I’ve never been to or directly interacted with anyone in Tennessee?
Fugitive Trans Act of 2025
If a minor from Tennessee reads it, it's possible if it's not on that map. I'm sure some psychoes might use their kids to try to mess with trans people in this way
Technically if you ever travel to one of the bad states you could also be extradited. Only 14 states have protection
What the fuck, isn’t that unconstitutional?
there's no point asking that question, the supreme court just does the mental gymnastics necessary to make something constitutional or not.
Fascism doesn't care, and the supreme court is full of em.
US Supreme Court ruled back in 2022 that migrants can be detained indefinitely
It don't matter
~~IANAL, if it's like recording laws (basing on swift v Kanye) then no, as long as you are not in TN a when you post it's not a crime~~
I didn't read the op well enough 🎵
This law is based on abortion extradition laws
Anyone have a beginner's guide to matrix?
As long as you don't want to run your own server or join a specific one (you probably don't), you just go to https://app.element.io/, or install element on your phone or computer, and click Create Account.
Once you're in, you can message directly with other people on any matrix server, join spaces (which work like discord's "servers", and join chat rooms (which are just one-off channels that don't belong to a space)
The only other thing you may or may not want to change is what app you use to access matrix. On desktop I like Nheko but I don't have any mobile recs besides Element (for context, Element is the chat app developed by the same people who created the matrix protocol and the matrix.org homeserver, so it's basically the default for everything, but other options are getting pretty mature, like Nheko). You aren't tied to just one though so feel free to hop around.
If you find one lmk
It's just federated chat. You sign up and join a server and choose a mobile app if you need one same as with penny lemmy then use it like a chat app.
fuck.
This will become a new form of swatting. A group like kiwi farms picks a target, collects their online statements, then sics the law on them.
Guess the People’s Republic of Chattanooga isn't happening anytime soon
Anyone know if matrix servers are still secure?
You can host a local instance afaik
Does this mean if I provide medical care to a trans person (dispense spironolactone, testosterone, etc) I could be prosecuted in Tennessee?
It sounds to me like it's if that trans person is a minor, and you don't have permission from their parents.
I mean I have no reason to need that information. Fucking fascists.
“Do your parents know you’re taking this?” Not my fucking business.
I hope someone sues this unconstiutional law for fucking millions.
