Now – more than ever – it’s essential for you to not only look into how accommodating the college is for you as a trans or queer student but also it’s necessary to investigate the state laws. I’m using this list (last updated on December 11, 2024) from Erin Reed, who‘s on Instagram as @ErinInTheMorning and TikTok as @ErinInTheMorn to create my lists of “Most Protective States and Supportive States.” This list will certainly change this spring as state legislatures meet to make new laws. I subscribe to Erin’s Substack email list, where she sends super helpful information. If you’re a counselor, parent, advocate, or loved one of trans students, I recommend subscribing to her email list. She gives fantastic up-to-date news, insight, and info.
