I didn't feel safe to start my transition until I was able to escape Texas. I'm in Colorado now and it's a night-and-day difference.

Glad you were able to get out of Texas. I've heard the situation's pretty shitty there.

Likewise! I'm enby, and Texas made it feel like I'd never be able to qualify for hormone therapy because I'm not a binary trans woman. But they do it by informed consent up here in CO and even after half a year on HRT I'm getting fewer hostile glances around my relatively conservative neighborhood than I ever did back in Houston. =D
