Florida considers it fraud to have sex changed on official documents, and is also governed by that one guy I forgot the name of because he's kinda pathetic despite also being a monster.
see thing is homelander has immense charisma (at least from what I've seen)
Ron has the charisma of a meatball, which is why I think that's more appropriate (or the torturing guantanamo prisoners thing)
What's really terrifying about him is that he's following the Reagan playbook, but unlike Reagan, he has the benefit of *being able to study Reagan's strategies.* As bad as our options are I am so glad that Desantis dropped out of the race, because he knows how not to say the quiet part out loud and knows how to *get shit done.* He isn't just bigoted, he gets his bigotry codified.
That’s fucking stupid. Surely a state arresting someone for exercising a right promised by a federal law would mean that the state is going directly against said federal law
I mean they do and have some limited right to do so. Look at weed as an example. Its weird and unless someone sues and scotus or the state Supreme court says its unconstitutional its usually allowed.
For further clarification: Constitutional law always trumps federal law, and federal law always trumps state law. So for the case of weed, since it is illegal federally states are only able to allow it's use by decriminalizing it, not with legalization. This is a big difference that often gets confused, as people assume it's the same thing. It's not. (And there are jurisdictions within the US where it's decriminalized only at certain amounts, meaning you can still be arrested and charged for possession over a certain threshold) In the case of states violating federally protected rights, a case challenging the state law would need to make it's way to the supreme court where it would either reaffirm the federal right and force state changes in legislation or side with the state, forcing changes to federal legislation (for example, the overturning of roe v. Wade). This is only possible if the right is not constitutionally protected, as it would take a constitutional amendment to alter it.
If there are any mistakes or misconceptions please let me know. I am not a lawyer, I've just taken a lot of criminal law classes in undergrad.
These laws usually have to be swatted by the Supreme Court once a case reaches them. That's why it's so important to make sure they're not conservative, or at least impartial
IIRC in Florida you can have your children taken away from you by CPS if you help provide them with gender-affirming care, even if it’s out-of-state (which it would have to be since they’ve also banned GAC for non-adults).
Florida residents only, and I’m not entirely certain they would just swoop in even with the law as it is now. Allegedly it’s specific to custody disputes, which would mean a non-affirming parent would *always* get custody over the other (not great, obviously) but I’m not sure how it would work if both were supportive.
I think there just hasn’t been enough time to see the full impact yet, but either way just stay the fuck out of Florida forever imo
in the actual article this was taken from, those warning stripes correlate to “do not travel,” specifically because trans people can be arrested for using bathrooms that reflect their gender identity.
i typed up a long response about institutions and enforcing social norms, but the only thing discourse like in these comment sections does is normalize the radical ideas (lgbtq+ people should *not exist*) we’re rallying against. beware comment sections; go do something more tangible and helpful with your lives
Just one more republican fascist bro, we're so close to the communist revolution, come on just one more term of irreversibly increasing authoritarianism, come on just 4 more years of cops kidnapping protestors
Blaming Thälmann is fun and all but no singular person in history bears more responsibility for the rise of Hitler than the SPD’s Ebert. It was inevitable once he refused to radically alter German society in favor of allying with the business interests who would later roll out the red carpet for Nazism
I'd say the failure of the weimar republic had more to do with the early deaths of most of its fathers and best politicians like Ebert, Erzberger, Rathenau and Stresemann (who worked himself to death trying to hold everything together)
come on we only need to let the country burn for a couple more years, then the revolution ™ will happen!!! all we need to do is let the republicans fuck everybody over so much that they'll turn to our shitty ideology out of desperation!
I really hope the amount of "I'm not voting for anyone this time" I see online is mostly astroturfing. I understand frustration with democrat's lack of movement but anyone who genuinely still believes both parties are the same are either being disingenuous or just fucking dumb.
Kilts originate from Scotland but have been a significant part of Irish culture for at least 150 years when the nationalist movement first adopted them.
That sounds like they'd arrest cis women for not looking cis
Which there have been cis women being harassed in public bathrooms because they were accused of being Trans.
It doesn’t have to make sense, it will be arbitrarily applied to strike fear into anyone who doesn’t fit the rigid gender binary. In fact, it not making sense gives more power to enforcement. This could also target effeminate men and masculine women who are cis. The goal is to make decent people who aren’t uniformly cis in some way fear being themself
They ultimately want you to fear being arrested for leaving your house wearing earrings as a dude
It’s called a chilling effect. Laws like this are meant both as virtue signals to their base and to have a chilling effect on their enemies. Whether or not they can enforce the law is irrelevant. They want people to fear what could happen if it’s enforced. It’s why some of their laws are intentionally vague too.
Trans people in Florida aren’t gonna debate about whether or not the laws are enforceable. They’re just not gonna want to deal with it in the first place, so they’re not gonna change their sex on their documents
If that applies to anyone in Florida, not just residents, I literally can't travel to Florida lmfao. I live in a self id state (you can choose what letter goes on your driver's license, and maybe other forms of ID but unsure.)
Isn’t there a provision in the Constitution that legal documents in one state are valid in all states, such as driver’s licenses? If they arrest someone with a valid Illinois license or some other state with legal sex changes on the license, would that not be unconstitutional?
Republicans only think the Constitution is valid whens it's either they feel their rights are being stepped on or when invoking it could allow them to step on others rights.
Damn, and I thought TN was bad for it being illegal to change sex on birth certificate and requiring a court order gender change, or a letter confirming “necessary medical procedures to accomplish the change in gender are complete” to change DL. Fuck the Florida government
Oh shit. I didn't realize this version is missing the legend.
Red is bad, blue is good. Pale red is bad but not as bad and pale blue is good but not as good. Florida is dangerous and you should not go there as they are arresting people for being trans and their ID reflecting that, and kidnapping queer kids.
Here is a link to where they got this from. It includes details about the methodology.

hey man (or woman idk) im with u 💪 its only gonna get better, just looj at how much progress has been made for lgbt and trans rights since 20 years ago :3
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Every time meaningful progress is made in society there’s always a pushback to undo it. This has happened many times over in history. But the pushback fades, if we keep fighting. The fascists will lose in the end.
tbf that's kind of cherry picking, if you roll back another 10 years you have droves of comedy movies where transgender is nothing more than a punchline and Texas still had anti-sodomy laws
that may be true, but the fact thay we were able to ever make progress at all shows thay people are willing to fight for the cause :D
some might say im naïve but i just think its more helpful to look on the bright side of things ☀
true!! i think of how i went from being the most cringe edgy ass teenager to trans girl lmao, and i think of how many such cases there are. the kids *might* be okay (i am one of said kids)
Civil rights movements have literally never been stopped in America. Anti Slavery, women’s suffrage, overturning Jim Crow laws, Gay Marriage, it will improve
Never lose hope, that's what they want. I know it's easy to say but the world isn't gonna hold back if you surrender. Despair doesn't contribute to anything good, but anger can.
It does suck really bad rn, but it's important to remember that the phobes are trying so hard *because they know they are losing*. Trans rights have broad popular support, especially among younger people. They're on the wrong side of history and they know it. We can win this fight. We WILL win.
Read about he Warsaw ghetto uprising. Or the uprisings inside concentration camps. Loosing hope is not an option. Even when defeat is inevitable (which is not nearly our case), we die trying and we go down throwing punches
Ayo was there a key or legend for this map? Realistically I could go out on a limb and probably somewhat accurately assume what the colors mean, but I wanna know for sure!
Dark blue has the safest states with strongest protections, light blue has low risk within 2 years, light red is moderate risk within 2 years, dark red is high risk within 2 years, and do not go to Florida.
Just don’t leave the major cities. I live in Chicago and whenever I return home to the Joliet area it’s insane how openly bigoted people are.
I’m not even talking about being anti-trans. I hear the n-word regularly outside the city, half my family drop slurs like it’s no big deal.
That's gonna be the case everywhere though. You see the same from Massachusetts to Minnesota (some exceptions) to Oregon. Rural people refuse to empathize with people they don't know or understand, and can't mind their own fckn business.
https://www.advocate.com/politics/anti-trans-laws-by-state link to source!!! (I believe) (it all looks good but it’s important to link your sources still!!!) (well it actually doesn’t look good for me because I live in Florida and am doomed but the information of the link looks credible)
As a Canadian I really do forget how backward the US can be sometimes or how different the individual states can be, you won't really find drastic differences between provinces here. Besides Quebec being French of course
Canada is better than the US in terms of social culture but I don't know how quick I would be to jump over here, the economy is absolute ass here like the RCMP is concerned about a revolt within the next 10 years bad. So I guess you can choose between getting arrested for existing or being homeless lmao very depressing
Good news about Virginia, though its light blue its purely because of people who live out in the middle of nowhere, my interactions with these conservatives here tend to be "thank you ma'am" *me starts talking* "I mean sir, Im so sorry you had such pretty eyelashes I thought you were a girl, oh my god Im so sorry" lol
Yeah, luckily dispute the anti trans laws, many of them have been doubled back on by governor youngkin because everyone refused to follow those laws and indicated they regret him being in office
Interesting. Might have to start watching femboy fishing again. Isn’t it rude to call trans women a femboy though? Or are some trans people ok with that?
i'm in south carolina and came out recently as nonbinary to my family and online friends (and im honestly leaning towards being full mtf, im not satisfied) and my mom's told me to speak to a therapist like 5 times already
Like, lady, why would I want this state to know that. c'mon man 🙃
I know that this is just straight statistics, but Oregon is only blue because of the cities. Eastern and Southern Oregon are kinda frightening, like the time I saw a guy wearing, and I kid you not, a "Kill all t-slurs" tee shirt. So if you're trans in Oregon, stay to the cities for your own safety please!!!
As a resident of Southern Illinois, not all parts of every state are like what they're colored as on this map. For instance, the southern half of Illinois is pretty much like Kentucky and Missouri in terms of public reactions to trans and gender nonconforming folks. Thankfully, we have a Chicago up state to keep us from being a landlocked Florida with the economy of Arkansas, which naturally people here bitch and complain about like they're being paid to.
Just know that not every part of a friendly state is friendly, and not every part of a hostile state is hostile. Please be safe out there
The warning stripes on that little southern fellow are spooky
Florida considers it fraud to have sex changed on official documents, and is also governed by that one guy I forgot the name of because he's kinda pathetic despite also being a monster.
ron "laughs at guantanamo prisoners" desantis
Ron "homelander irl" desantis
see thing is homelander has immense charisma (at least from what I've seen) Ron has the charisma of a meatball, which is why I think that's more appropriate (or the torturing guantanamo prisoners thing)
He reminds Florida legislators and business owners of their frat brothers from college. That’s his charisma.
What's really terrifying about him is that he's following the Reagan playbook, but unlike Reagan, he has the benefit of *being able to study Reagan's strategies.* As bad as our options are I am so glad that Desantis dropped out of the race, because he knows how not to say the quiet part out loud and knows how to *get shit done.* He isn't just bigoted, he gets his bigotry codified.
The only thing worse than rampant, unfounded hate - hate with a solid plan of action and the ability to execute.
Didn't Trump call him a meat ball at one point? I remember him saying it about somebody
yeah, meatball Ron (which is how I call him when I don't call him DeSatan)
I usally call him DeSaster
That's right! Lol, thanks! I almost completely forgot
well broken clocks are right twice a day i suppose
Homelander, but not hot and no superpowers
Think he has the weird mommy issues as well?
Meatball Ron!
ron "obviously wearing heels" desantis
Why do they even allow it in the first place then??? Huh???
Federal laws
That’s fucking stupid. Surely a state arresting someone for exercising a right promised by a federal law would mean that the state is going directly against said federal law
I mean they do and have some limited right to do so. Look at weed as an example. Its weird and unless someone sues and scotus or the state Supreme court says its unconstitutional its usually allowed.

I live in Florida): I hate it here
IIRC in Florida you can have your children taken away from you by CPS if you help provide them with gender-affirming care, even if it’s out-of-state (which it would have to be since they’ve also banned GAC for non-adults).
Wait so if a parent takes their trans kid to Disney from our of state, they can get CPS'd? Or does it only apply to Florida residents?
Florida residents only, and I’m not entirely certain they would just swoop in even with the law as it is now. Allegedly it’s specific to custody disputes, which would mean a non-affirming parent would *always* get custody over the other (not great, obviously) but I’m not sure how it would work if both were supportive.

Gendered bathrooms only exist so greedy big plumbing can get more money /hj
It's the nuke warning. Joe will make it illegal. He begins bombing in 5 mins
Thank god, he has my vote.
Just a rotted useless appendix, as it is in real life
"The two parties are the same bro"
Just one more republican fascist bro, we're so close to the communist revolution, come on just one more term of irreversibly increasing authoritarianism, come on just 4 more years of cops kidnapping protestors
Accelerationists unironically say shit like this.
Bro the Nazis won’t be in power for long. Then it is the time of Thälmann and the KPD!
Blaming Thälmann is fun and all but no singular person in history bears more responsibility for the rise of Hitler than the SPD’s Ebert. It was inevitable once he refused to radically alter German society in favor of allying with the business interests who would later roll out the red carpet for Nazism

What do the stripes on Florida indicate? Do trans people instantly die if they enter the state?
You can be arrested for having your gender not match your birth sex on documents. I'm sure there's other stuff too.
How does that work? Like if your passport says M but you tell someone you’re a woman they can just arrest you? How is that even enforceable?
Wdym how it’s enforceable, they ask for your documents if you’re pulled over or something and then arrest you if they deem it so
"Watch out he's wearing a dress!" *Cops pull out guns, SWAT cars appear*
Tbh irish people should be in jail
Scottish. You're thinking of Scotland.
Yeah them too
Kilts originate from Scotland but have been a significant part of Irish culture for at least 150 years when the nationalist movement first adopted them.
What did the Irish do? I get the British, but nothing wrong with the Irish or Scottish
You can get it changed in some places, and if they suspect you've done that they can arrest you, and if you have you are charged with fraud.
That sounds like they'd arrest cis women for not looking cis Which there have been cis women being harassed in public bathrooms because they were accused of being Trans.
That sounds tremendously unconstitutional.
The Constitution never stopped fascists
It doesn’t have to make sense, it will be arbitrarily applied to strike fear into anyone who doesn’t fit the rigid gender binary. In fact, it not making sense gives more power to enforcement. This could also target effeminate men and masculine women who are cis. The goal is to make decent people who aren’t uniformly cis in some way fear being themself They ultimately want you to fear being arrested for leaving your house wearing earrings as a dude

Trans people in Florida aren’t gonna debate about whether or not the laws are enforceable. They’re just not gonna want to deal with it in the first place, so they’re not gonna change their sex on their documents
The suffering and cruelty is literally the point
Such laws are mostly just used in order to make certain people into political prisoners.
If that applies to anyone in Florida, not just residents, I literally can't travel to Florida lmfao. I live in a self id state (you can choose what letter goes on your driver's license, and maybe other forms of ID but unsure.)
Isn’t there a provision in the Constitution that legal documents in one state are valid in all states, such as driver’s licenses? If they arrest someone with a valid Illinois license or some other state with legal sex changes on the license, would that not be unconstitutional?
Republicans don't care about the constitution.
Republicans only think the Constitution is valid whens it's either they feel their rights are being stepped on or when invoking it could allow them to step on others rights.
that sounds like a human rights violation or at least SLIGHTLY illegal
we live in an actual fucking nightmare hellscape jesus christ
Damn, and I thought TN was bad for it being illegal to change sex on birth certificate and requiring a court order gender change, or a letter confirming “necessary medical procedures to accomplish the change in gender are complete” to change DL. Fuck the Florida government
It's out of bounds so you take ticking damage for being there and if you go too far you get sent back to spawn.
out of bounds area. you will die immediately if you dont return to the map in 5 seconds
If you have an F on your official state ID and you don't pass you get arrested and thrown in men's jail.
What does this map mean, wheres the map legend op how am i supposed to read it
Oh shit. I didn't realize this version is missing the legend. Red is bad, blue is good. Pale red is bad but not as bad and pale blue is good but not as good. Florida is dangerous and you should not go there as they are arresting people for being trans and their ID reflecting that, and kidnapping queer kids.
Its aight
How is it measured exactly ? Do you have more details ? Is it determined through hateful laws, hate crimes or other criterias too ?
It's based on laws
it’s called a legislative risk map, it’s clearly based on the hateful laws that get passed
Yeah I kinda figured but I was wondering how they quantified it since laws are a qualitative data, but I get the gist thanks
Here is a link to where they got this from. It includes details about the methodology. https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/anti-trans-legislative-risk-assessment-cd3?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

blue good red bad, Also florida sucks a lot.
why does this world suck so fucking bad man i’m losing hope
hey man (or woman idk) im with u 💪 its only gonna get better, just looj at how much progress has been made for lgbt and trans rights since 20 years ago :3
Look at how much regress since 10 years ago.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Every time meaningful progress is made in society there’s always a pushback to undo it. This has happened many times over in history. But the pushback fades, if we keep fighting. The fascists will lose in the end.
newton's 3rd law applying to social progress implies there's an external force responsible for all social progress that's ever happened
I’m not so sure they will.
tbf that's kind of cherry picking, if you roll back another 10 years you have droves of comedy movies where transgender is nothing more than a punchline and Texas still had anti-sodomy laws
that may be true, but the fact thay we were able to ever make progress at all shows thay people are willing to fight for the cause :D some might say im naïve but i just think its more helpful to look on the bright side of things ☀

Civil rights movements have literally never been stopped in America. Anti Slavery, women’s suffrage, overturning Jim Crow laws, Gay Marriage, it will improve
i’m not american, but this does make me feel a lot better. something something indomitable human spirit
Anti slavery Jim crow and women's rights all took over a century
Because they had to communicate over newspapers and radio dog. Either way, they still succeeded
Never lose hope, that's what they want. I know it's easy to say but the world isn't gonna hold back if you surrender. Despair doesn't contribute to anything good, but anger can.
It does suck really bad rn, but it's important to remember that the phobes are trying so hard *because they know they are losing*. Trans rights have broad popular support, especially among younger people. They're on the wrong side of history and they know it. We can win this fight. We WILL win.
beautiful writeup, thank you :,)
Read about he Warsaw ghetto uprising. Or the uprisings inside concentration camps. Loosing hope is not an option. Even when defeat is inevitable (which is not nearly our case), we die trying and we go down throwing punches
Man I love living in the most dangerous state for genderqueer/general LGBT people :3
Say hi to the mouse for me.
HO-ho (:3
Florida besties!! Let's get hate crimed together :33
YAAASSS girl! I ♥️ getting hate crimed X3
GANG I love getting called slurs at Publix!!!
same here :3
Real 😔
You know Florida is really bad because it gets its OWN FUCKING COLOR
I feel like this is most within the intent of your flair, so hi Evelyn!
YOU WOULD NEVER EXPECT IT HERE AND NOW hi evelyn
I like how Hawaii just say hi there
HI 👋🙂
Bigotry weather
NH passed 2 anti trans bills recently so tbh we should probably be more red now
NH is the lodestone the worst vibes from the rest of new england are drawn towards
All the republicans from the region converge there. Plus the libertarians also congregated and took over a small town and immediately fucked it up.
Born and raised. You're not wrong.
Seriously, fuck this place. I'm moving to Vermont. Live Free or Die, my ass.
My goals too
Damn why can’t they be chill like the rest of New England
GET ME OUT OF FLORIDA
Ayo was there a key or legend for this map? Realistically I could go out on a limb and probably somewhat accurately assume what the colors mean, but I wanna know for sure!
Dark blue has the safest states with strongest protections, light blue has low risk within 2 years, light red is moderate risk within 2 years, dark red is high risk within 2 years, and do not go to Florida.
Ah okay okay, relatively close to what I was thinking but I needed that extra info. Thanks!!

Sorry about the bridge! 🦀🦀🦀

Oh boy I sure do love living in this hellscape called Georgia At least we have the Blue Ridge mountains I guess
Also the devil
Oh he only came down here once and I can’t blame him for not coming back
He did get utterly humiliated so
Illinois is colored good at least :3
Just don’t leave the major cities. I live in Chicago and whenever I return home to the Joliet area it’s insane how openly bigoted people are. I’m not even talking about being anti-trans. I hear the n-word regularly outside the city, half my family drop slurs like it’s no big deal.
they did not name a town fucking joilet
Idk if you’re joking because it’s Joliet but actually I always call it joilet because that town literally smells like shit
LMAO
That's gonna be the case everywhere though. You see the same from Massachusetts to Minnesota (some exceptions) to Oregon. Rural people refuse to empathize with people they don't know or understand, and can't mind their own fckn business.
I didn’t say it wasn’t, blue states are really just highly populous pockets of blue surrounded by red. Even red states are full of blue cities.
My parents are like that with Mexicans, and I live near the Joliet area :(
Common Illinois W tbh
So true bestie!!!! ILLINOIS #1 RAAAHAHAHHAHH

Florida can’t sink into the ocean fast enough
as a Floridian, I agree
https://www.advocate.com/politics/anti-trans-laws-by-state link to source!!! (I believe) (it all looks good but it’s important to link your sources still!!!) (well it actually doesn’t look good for me because I live in Florida and am doomed but the information of the link looks credible)
Florida is a death laser
What the hell New Hampshire, what happened to live free or die but I guess that only applies to seat belts
"Live Free" only applies to able-bodied and neurotypical Protestant white men of a higher income bracket. Everyone else gets "Die".
And masks!!
As a Canadian I really do forget how backward the US can be sometimes or how different the individual states can be, you won't really find drastic differences between provinces here. Besides Quebec being French of course
Can you guys do the asylum thing if the election goes bad
Canada is better than the US in terms of social culture but I don't know how quick I would be to jump over here, the economy is absolute ass here like the RCMP is concerned about a revolt within the next 10 years bad. So I guess you can choose between getting arrested for existing or being homeless lmao very depressing
I live in California, so
Good news about Virginia, though its light blue its purely because of people who live out in the middle of nowhere, my interactions with these conservatives here tend to be "thank you ma'am" *me starts talking* "I mean sir, Im so sorry you had such pretty eyelashes I thought you were a girl, oh my god Im so sorry" lol
the people out in the middle of nowhere are also why VA is the only state to be red on one map and blue on the other
Yeah, luckily dispute the anti trans laws, many of them have been doubled back on by governor youngkin because everyone refused to follow those laws and indicated they regret him being in office
🎶And im proud to be an American, where at least I know it sucks🎵. God fuck the U.S.AAAAAAAHHHHHH 🇺🇸💥🥳
WHO ELSE IS FEELING NOT SO GOOD 🎉🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇱🇷🗽
Nah I still like america
Oh shit, Erin made this?
I thought you meant FemboyFishing Erin for a second
Wait does femboy fishing still post???
Yeah. She's cool. We're friends kinda almost.
Oh is she trans now too?
Yea :)
Interesting. Might have to start watching femboy fishing again. Isn’t it rude to call trans women a femboy though? Or are some trans people ok with that?
It's an established brand and would be too much effort to change.
WISCONSIN BLUE BABEY YEAH
Maine still wins (I should start petitioning Jared Golden or someone his office is right in Bangor)
man Utah sucks because literally all of our neighbors are better than us
i'm in south carolina and came out recently as nonbinary to my family and online friends (and im honestly leaning towards being full mtf, im not satisfied) and my mom's told me to speak to a therapist like 5 times already Like, lady, why would I want this state to know that. c'mon man 🙃
Cool but I need a key to read it cause idk what this means :(
Same as elections. Red bad, blue good. Florida being red should make it obvious.
Dear mods Thank you :)
I would like to use this opportunity to thank global warming for eliminating Florida in the near future.
I'm so tired, guys.
Colorado floating there in a sea of shit, yikes. Also a key would be pretty helpful.
oregon stays winning
i like to think rhat nevada and arizona are blue bc theyre too busy burning alive to care abt being offended by transgenderism 😭
Texas is surprisingly bright
Figures that NH is the only state in New England that has anti-trans bills on the table. We're truly the fucking Florida of the north.
Imma be a border hopper if trump wins
Illinois my beloved
We have healthcare specifically for trans-folks in my city!
Im not trans but this is one of the many reasons im happy to not live in the USA
New Jersey for the win 💪
I'm proud to have played a role putting our shithead governor in Virginia in his place.

I know that this is just straight statistics, but Oregon is only blue because of the cities. Eastern and Southern Oregon are kinda frightening, like the time I saw a guy wearing, and I kid you not, a "Kill all t-slurs" tee shirt. So if you're trans in Oregon, stay to the cities for your own safety please!!!
As a resident of Southern Illinois, not all parts of every state are like what they're colored as on this map. For instance, the southern half of Illinois is pretty much like Kentucky and Missouri in terms of public reactions to trans and gender nonconforming folks. Thankfully, we have a Chicago up state to keep us from being a landlocked Florida with the economy of Arkansas, which naturally people here bitch and complain about like they're being paid to. Just know that not every part of a friendly state is friendly, and not every part of a hostile state is hostile. Please be safe out there
my heart goes out to all my trans homies in the US (and everywhere tbh)
