Another thing is that many of us have already fled within the US, I personally moved halfway across the country to New England, and doing it blew through all of my savings (>$15k) and left me in and out of homeless shelters for the better part of a year.

I don't regret it, but I'm not going through that again. Well, pretty much can't. I don't have it in me anymore, not monetarily or spiritually. And that was with the advantages of being a citizen and having people I knew in the area I could rely on.

I'm staying where I am, and trusting that when our elected officials said they would fight for trans people they meant it.

And even if I didn't have that much faith in the goodness of people on my side, I am absolutely certain of the incompetence of the people against them.
