I'm trans in a red state, no matter who wins the election they're probably going to take away my hormones and then my life is over. I'll either become a homeless refugee in a blue state or... do something drastic that would get me banned if I talk about it.
Biden isn't going to stop them. He hasn't stopped them from taking away abortion rights, why would he give a shit about me?
I've heard the bit about being a homeless refugee in a blue state before from trans people. For you, is it just because of the expense of moving or are there other factors? More expensive housing in general?
I'm paying off a trailer still so I won't be able to move it, and my resume is dogshit. Also all my family are in red states so that's not an option.
But the biggest problem is I'll have to get out of here fast if they decide to restrict my access to hormones. I will not be detransitioned. By any means necessary.
