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.

This is straight up Stockholm syndrome my man.

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.

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.

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 seem to be reading things into comments that aren't there. Texas is a shithole because of the government running the State, not the people suffering through it.

I'm failing to see where anyone is blaming them for the shit their republican government is doing.

I’ll make this more extreme as a means of illustrating the point everyone else seems to be trying to get across…

Russia is a nation full of parents who love their children, artists and musicians creating interesting and new art, and rebels developing creative and novel approaches for resisting their fascist government. But, when people say that “Russia sucks”, those aren’t the reasons.

Actually fuck the US in general. Y'all still have slavery lol.
