"The stark reality is now inescapable: legislations targeting the medical care of transgender adults have taken root, despite the claims of anti-trans activists that they are trying to “protect children” with these laws. Florida's new provisions represent the first significant restrictions on trans adult care to fully materialize."

Not sure what I'm going to do when this hits my state. We passed our "child only" bill last year. I don't live near a border and my job is strict in-person only.

I technically have the resources to move and have at least some job prospects, but there's huge swaths of my community that don't. Also, effectively outlawing trans existence in a state guarantees that no one will be left to vote for it, effectively pushing more states red. We can't even rely on the Supreme Court to strike these down...

I've heard Minnesota is good, but that's extremely far from me, and I have moderate-severe SAD so I worry that living that far north would be the end of me. Maybe I'll have to go for "might be the end of me" over "will currently be the end of me".

As a Minnesotan, I, at least, welcome you. :)

I've had occasional SAD struggles, also. While there are purpose marketed lighting for this, FWIW, I found an off the shelf plant grow light from amazon for a couple hours in the evening while I was otherwise doing computer work helped me.

Good luck!
