More trans refugees are considering moving from hostile states to sanctuary states
However, trans people also face different barriers that can prevent them from relocating.

A recent survey on transgender refugees — that is, the relocation of trans people from states with anti-trans policies to states with more pro-trans legal protections — found that trans people who lived in less supportive local communities were more likely to move to trans-affirming states.

The Williams Institute surveyed a total of 302 trans, non-binary, and other gender non-conforming American adults in December 2024, a month before Trump’s inauguration. More than one-third of respondents were people of color, and two-fifths had an annual income of under $50,000.
 

Nation’s largest pediatric group slams Trump’s “inaccurate” anti-trans health report
The American Academy of Pediatrics has basically told its 67,000 to ignore the report and keep providing gender-affirming care for kids.

Respondents who lived in less supportive local communities — states with laws and policies that were less supportive of trans people, and those with concerns about the impact of Trump’s presidency on their access to health care, exposure to discrimination, and vulnerability to hate crimes — were more likely to want to move to a state they viewed as more trans-affirming, according to an executive summary of the survey’s findings, released this week. “Those with lower incomes were also more likely to want to relocate, even though they may lack the resources to do so,” the summary said.

I think a sanctuary nation like El Salvador would be better yet.

No one cares. Just keep your hands off the children, weirdos.

I hear that a number of Middle East nations are highly supportive of Trans, uh, people. Perhaps they should move to one of them, where they will introduce them to the term defenestration. Just trying to to be helpful

 :pondering:no!  No no no!

I keep wondering more and more if I should really buy my parents’ house from the estate, in liberaland, which means more Moslems, more illegals, and more trannies!

Sometimes I think maybe we should just move out and go to PA or something.

Go move to the new Gaza Freedom Zone and live in peace and harmony forever.

I never really considered buying the folks' house. My cousin did, which kept it in the family, and they love the place, which works for me. It is not the place I grew up in, so many laws have changed and people won't even freely discuss some topics because of the leftward shift over the past few decades. But what I found really telling as I drove back into North Dakota was the weight of the regulatory oppression felt lifted from my shoulders and if felt good to be home. Yes, my roots go way back in The Old Line State, to the 1600s, but my heart has moved far away.
