"Gov. Tim Walz signed an executive order Wednesday protecting the rights of LGBTQ people from Minnesota and other states to receive gender affirming health care, as he slammed the tide of other states rolling back transgender rights.
“We want every Minnesotan to grow up feeling safe, valued, protected, celebrated, and free to exist as their authentic versions of themselves,” Walz said. “Protecting and supporting access to gender affirming health care is essential to being a welcoming and supportive state.” ...
Walz’s executive order parallels legislation awaiting a floor vote in the state House to make Minnesota a “trans refuge state” by protecting trans people, families and care providers from a range of legal repercussions for traveling to Minnesota for gender affirming care, which includes a wide range of social and medical interventions.
While sponsors said they’re optimistic about passage in the coming weeks, the governor said the accelerating trends against trans rights in other states made it urgent for him to impose protections immediately.
The bill is authored by Democratic Rep. Leigh Finke, of St. Paul, Minnesota’s first openly transgender legislator. It would prohibit the state from enforcing court orders or child protection laws from other states if they interfere with a person’s right to seek gender affirming care in Minnesota.
The importance of the governor’s order to LGBTQ people across the nation can’t be overstated, she said.
“The lives of trans and gender expansive people this nation are under attack,” Finke said. “There is a full-scale movement in this nation against trans, nonbinary, two-spirit and gender expansive adults and children that seeks to make our community disappear.”
A separate bill banning so-called conversion therapy for LGBTQ children and vulnerable adults won approval in the Minnesota House last month and is awaiting a floor vote in the Senate."

If you live in the States and live in the red, please be safe. Now’s not the time to be playing mind games as you can be in danger for even questioning your gender. Find trans resources and find refuge to blue states if you have the means necessary.
You knew taking hormones would risk on feminizing your already androgynous self, even after the doctors warned the potential loss of male vitality. What you didn’t knew is how feminine and young-looking you were going to turn out. It’s barely been a year and people who compliment your transitioning results are shocked to find you’re old enough to drink. They thought you were still in school! You may not like some of their compliments, but at least you’re happy being acknowledged as a valid trans girl. It’s the thought that counts.
