    I know my perspective is different due to living in Colorado. I couldn’t imagine the hellscape that Florida, Texas, or Oklahoma are and I feel sorry for all those stuck in those places.

      I’m a trans woman in living Florida. I’m very scared. I can’t get out. I rarely leave my home these days.

        Hey friend. I’m not too far from you in a much safer, blue state. If you ever need help or anything, even just to talk lemme know

          I appreciate the offer, you’re very kind.I have friends all over the country that have offered similar support.

          I won’t leave my brother or mother behind. The main thing keeping me here is that she’s stubbornly refusing to move. Last year half the town she lives in got destroyed by the hurricanes. She still won’t leave and complains about politics all the time.

          It’s maddening.
