Escaping red states

Any trans Americans in red states feeling the pressure to escape before the elections this year?

I've been trying to move out of Oklahoma for over a year now, but I get so overwhelmed just looking for jobs in other places. I feel like I need to make it happen soon, though, and I feel trapped and angry when I can't get anywhere.

I yeeted myself out of west texas last year for the same reason.
It was worth it enough to me that I left with no money or job and just a car.
- How did you make it? Did you sleep in quiet areas?

Its been something I've been considering, but also content with job and wouldn't want to leave friends/family so not seriously considering it now. I'll worry about it more when things eventually get worse...
I got out of Texas after the anti-abortion laws started going through in 2022. Finding a job in a Blue state was the only thing that made it possible for me..
I'm sorry you're going through all that stress.
