People are heading to Minnesota for trans refuge. Providers are struggling to meet the demand.

The other safe states are so so much more expensive because of housing as a commodity, sadly.

we need a fuck ton more housing in blue states. a lot of the homeless people in this country are internally displaced refugees. I knew one once

I believe it, I’m currently in Texas saving up to move and Minnesota has been #1 on my list of places to go.

Minnesota is going to have the highest % trans population in the country soon enough.

Also, a year or two ago the team at our regional Planned Parenthood that handles prior authorization paperwork quit en masse due to PP’s union busting actions. I had serious problems getting my medication as a result, and ultimately changed providers. I’m guessing they’ve still not resolved that mess.

I moved to Minnesota from Florida eight or so years ago, and I’ve got a roommate who moved a couple of years ago from Alabama. The migration started before the refuge state status was enacted, but I’m sure that legislation has inspired a lot of others to follow my roommate and I in leaving shithole states.
