My husband is FTM trans and we're starting to get worried, living in Ohio. We've made the decision to move to Vermont this August because I just can't guarantee his safety anymore. His family is wholly unsupportive and mine, while not malicious, just doesn't get why we're making such a big deal out something so small. It's always "well [town name] is [town name], it's always been rednecky, you just need to hunker down and wait for it all the blow over". Not like this, and I don't want to move into one of the 3-Cs just to have the whole state go tits up. It sucks, but at least in VT he'll have access to a doctor. That and Ben & Jerry's.
I'm really sorry to hear that. It's disgusting that this country is actively working on persecuting some of its citizens whose only "crime" is knowing who they are. I hope your husband (and you, of course) stay safe!
I'm sorry that you are experiencing such things. I hope we can heal and grow as a nation but I am constantly disheartened by the reality.
