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?

    Right now Germany appears a lot safer than the US and a lot of us will fight to keep it that way.

    If you don’t know where to go have a look here.

    (Disclaimer: just an ally, not trans myself. I “only” have some trans friends.)

    IMO this and the abortion stuff is about driving blue voters out of state so that Republicans can retake the senate. The senate is a body designed for minority control and they know they’ll never again have the majority.

      Not really. It’s driving blue voters out of republican stronghold states. Florida? Oklahoma? Missouri? Kentucky? They’ll never be blue anyway.
