on top of that having to out myself just to get an apartment because i’ve never had any of my documents updated and haven’t legally changed my name yet and there’s a whole ton of issues that come with that in terms of paperwork while also making sure i’m not constantly referred to by my deadname. just a ton of things on my mind about this when all i wanna do is just get my own place :/ wish it didn’t feel so scary to just exist :(

as someone in a blue state who doesnt really have to worry about that in most situations, i am so deeply sorry that the state you call home is so hostile to you. you deserve to feel safe the way i can without moving far away from everyone you know and the place you may love. i wish it wasn't so shitty for you rn :(

not really. Financially speaking it would be pretty much impossible for me and i don’t have any family or friends in a safer state i could rely on unfortunately :(

i mean its just not remotely comparable. there have been multiple people killed in texas for being trans just in 2026. where i live in massachusetts the last trans murder i was able to find was from 2024 and it's not as clear on motive (though i wouldnt be surprised if it had to do with their gender). plus our gun laws are so much stricter than most states, and any gun deaths in general thst are remotely near me are in larger cities, which i don't live in.

i'm not saying that people shouldnt be careful in general but the fear that it is reasonable for me to walk around with is so so so much less than people from states like texas and florida. and its obvious when i talk to those people irl
