You joke but there are trans people in conservative states, and in the south those people are more likely to be people of color and/or people without means to leave.
I understand you likely didn’t mean it that way, but often we get dismissive of the south as a hellhole (which it is) without taking into account the people who actually live there who are disenfranchised and victimized by their own states.
The 5-4 podcast has a very insightful episode on the history and actual effects of the anti-trans laws. Highly recommend!
