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?

Come to Minnesota for the freedom to be yourself, stay for the hotdish. I am really happy that my state is welcoming, and frustrated that other states are not.
