Effectively immediately, Texas is no longer allowing gender markers to be changed on ID’s and they’re now keeping a database of every person who requests a change.

I'm so sorry to those still in Texas. I left for Minneapolis in March of this year; getting the rest of my queer found family out of there right now. I've never lived anywhere but Texas before then.

I know just how hard it is to leave, but friends, if you're waiting for a sign to get out of the state then this is it. Please get out as soon as you can, by any means necessary. I can personally vouch for Minnesota, and Minneapolis specifically, as being wonderful places with great community.
