According to historical records, the law—which made Louisiana the 4th state to allow such changes—was introduced and passed because a trans woman had asked them to. Indeed, that was all it took for the legislature to act. And the final vote tally? 87-8 in the state House and 38-0 in the state Senate.>It may be hard to imagine a conservative state willingly doing anything to help trans people now, let alone after we ask them to, but until relatively recently, that was pretty much the norm. In 2009, Nebraska dropped its surgery requirement for driver’s licenses after it was asked to. In 2013, Idaho did the same. And in 2015, the GOP-held West Virginia Senate successfully pushed the equally red state House into removing the surgery requirement for driver’s licenses as well.>When the term ‘disenfranchisement’ is used, it often refers to the suppression or removal of voting rights. Although historical methods like poll taxes and literacy tests have been done away with, this literal form of disenfranchisement still occurs. Even now, some states—including Mississippi, Tennessee, and Florida—ban people who have been convicted of felonies from voting once they are released. Meanwhile, other states like Texas make it harder for people to vote by limiting voter registration, closing polling locations, and restricting mail-in voting.>Federally, Republicans have heavily pushed the SAVE America Act, a voter ID bill that, as Transitics has reported in the past, would make it much more difficult for many trans people to vote because of the barriers we face in obtaining accurate identification. Although the bill failed to pass, some trans people have nevertheless complained of facing extreme difficulties when voting this cycle.
