you are at risk if you live in FL and many other hateful states. I never understood why folks risk their lives in states that don’t welcome them.

It's hard to move sometimes, for a lot of reasons. But your point is very valid.

Oh please. This story is from 2018 and we are now being attacked by the Terrorist in Chief. Time to catch up with priorities.

As a trans woman who’s been arrested in Jacksonville, I can tell you, it’s awful. They want you to react and will taunt you so they can physically hurt you. It’s evil, Jacksonville is trash.

Same in the Corrections system. They were horrible to trans individuals in that setting. I always tried to look out for them because it’s such a dangerous environment for them. Combine that with a lifetime of unresolved trauma it broke my heart.

A person is either a man or a woman. There is no such thing as transgender.
