I just don’t know what to make of this migration. I hate that it has to happen and I hate that many trans people can’t leave even though they want to. I hope it’s also an opportunity to build stronger communities in new places.
my partner is trans and we are planning to move. we have wanted to for years because of issues in our state/area, but now it’s become more urgent. but we have friends and community here we’ll be leaving behind, and it makes us really sad. we are also conflicted about our personal well being vs staying and representing our community.
if you’re in a hell state, will you move? have you already? or will you stay where you are?
Not really. It’s driving blue voters out of republican stronghold states. Florida? Oklahoma? Missouri? Kentucky? They’ll never be blue anyway.
Some of them could be without gerrymandering and other tricks, they have to ensure they can continue with.
Florida was a swing state until very recently.
