      No? I don’t know a single woman fleeing. I’ve had 3 trans friends/coworkers who have fled for sure, and I don’t blame them one bit given the political climate here, even though their local communities are extremely supportive of them. But no, not a single woman. Where are you getting your information? Hmmm?

        You personally know 3 people who have had to flee the state. That’s JUST PEOPLE YOU KNOW. And you STILL say the state is a good place for the most part.

        This is straight up Stockholm syndrome my man.

            Well, I’m a cishet white male and I still didn’t like living in Texas. I had to drive like 3-4 hours to get anywhere and back home, its hot, no winter for the most part(and when there was, any plans I had that involved leaving the house had to be canceled), power grid is shit and has way too many rolling blackouts. Internet service was abysmal, hot trash. The MAX speed I could get was like 10Mbps down. And then there’s the political climate… Yea fuck that I’m never moving back.

        Bruh I live here. And I as a woman cannot WAIT to get out. It’s not great, and we shouldn’t pretend like it is. And I’m fortunate enough to be stuck in a pretty blue area. I just gotta finish serving my contract and then I’m running for the blue states ASAP.

        Bruh, as someone who spent over ten years in Texas and got out, you are lying to yourself. Everyone i know that still lives there wants to get out but can’t for one reason or another.
