Yeah, that's why Kyle Sullivan & her wife Allison Devery of Door Monster fame retreated to the Northeast

Hey south TX here too! Hope you're in a blue oasis, although everyone where we live are melting

Move to the Austin area. Austin has always been where all the weirdos from other parts of Texas migrate to, which is definitely why I came here. If you want any guidance on parts of town/affordability/employment, DM me.

If you want to get all the way out of Texas, I respect that, but I'm staying to fucking fight.

Well if you ever need a couch to crash on, it wouldn't be the first time a fediverse trans girl moved across the country to stay in my apartment šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

Virgina could be a lot better, but it could also be a whole lot worse. I'm always glad to help queer people escape red states

I moved to my current town to be closer to my partner's family, who are getting older and sicker. After they pass the plan is NM

NM is a solid choice

Grew up in Kansas. Not trans, but also very not part of that culture. Get out. Best wishes.

Sometimes I feel like Texas leadership is hell bent on removing literally anyone and EVEERYTHING with the slightest bit of whimsy, joy, or fun. Like fuh they want, the Dale Gribble factory? šŸ„€šŸ„€šŸ˜­

I’m sorry. :(

On the brighter side, no reason to be in Texas anymore!

Except that I don't have the means to leave anymore. I don't have anyone I can lean on. I don't have anyone anymore.

Hey! Texan trans girl here!

I met most of my queer friends through the Texas LARP scene. My current group uses a site not far from Houston for events. We exist!
