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?

My girlfriend is also trans, and she lives in Arkansas. She lost her job, so I've been trying to both support her financially and also facilitate her move up here to Washington. Ugh... why does everything cost money?
