That doesn’t change the fact that, for the most part, the entire state is a disgusting shit hole
There are some shitty parts of Texas for sure, but “for the most part?” You don’t know this state dude. Texas reliably votes like 55% Republican and 45% Democratic, and there are tons of awesome people, beautiful scenery, and multicultural urban centers here. The state is gerrymandered to hell though
No? I don’t know a single woman fleeing. I’ve had 3 trans friends/coworkers who have fled for sure, and I don’t blame them one bit given the political climate here, even though their local communities are extremely supportive of them. But no, not a single woman. Where are you getting your information? Hmmm?
You personally know 3 people who have had to flee the state. That’s JUST PEOPLE YOU KNOW. And you STILL say the state is a good place for the most part.
Well, I’m a cishet white male and I still didn’t like living in Texas. I had to drive like 3-4 hours to get anywhere and back home, its hot, no winter for the most part(and when there was, any plans I had that involved leaving the house had to be canceled), power grid is shit and has way too many rolling blackouts. Internet service was abysmal, hot trash. The MAX speed I could get was like 10Mbps down. And then there’s the political climate… Yea fuck that I’m never moving back.
Bruh I live here. And I as a woman cannot WAIT to get out. It’s not great, and we shouldn’t pretend like it is. And I’m fortunate enough to be stuck in a pretty blue area. I just gotta finish serving my contract and then I’m running for the blue states ASAP.
Bruh, as someone who spent over ten years in Texas and got out, you are lying to yourself. Everyone i know that still lives there wants to get out but can’t for one reason or another.
You have to go back to Ann Richards and the 90s to find actual bipartisainship in texas man. I miss a lot of the people and the food especially, but fuck that state went bonkers after GWB and only gets more nuts. Fuck they pardoned Ken Paxton.

This is straight up Stockholm syndrome my man.
“Everyone needs to stop being mean to Texas! Texas is a great place to live (as long as you’re a cishet white male)!”

I also had a similar experience in Texas.

dude it’s not just transfolk, tons of women are making the sensible choice not to have to deliver dead babies in parking lots; same for OBGYNs and pediatricians who don’t want to fetter their practice with patient risking dogma.

Not cis but I wish I could escape. My mental state is too fucked though.
