Any trans Americans in red states feeling the pressure to escape before the elections this year?

I’ve been trying to move out of Oklahoma for over a year now, but I get so overwhelmed just looking for jobs in other places. I feel like I need to make it happen soon, though, and I feel trapped and angry when I can’t get anywhere.

    I yeeted myself out of west texas last year for the same reason.

    It was worth it enough to me that I left with no money or job and just a car.

  • Its been something I’ve been considering, but also content with job and wouldn’t want to leave friends/family so not seriously considering it now. I’ll worry about it more when things eventually get worse…

    I got out of Texas after the anti-abortion laws started going through in 2022. Finding a job in a Blue state was the only thing that made it possible for me…
