| [Daily Mail, where America get its news] An opinion poll released this week found that 8 percent of trans adults have already left their neighborhood or state due to the new rules affecting them, and another 43 percent are thinking about making a move. That would amount to some 104,000 trans adults moving home, and another 559,000 considering it, based on an estimate that there are 1.3 million trans adults in the US. a bullshit number The survey comes as trans people post online videos about leaving Red states like Florida, Texas, and Missouri, which have passed laws against children and even some adults from accessing sex-altering drugs. |

| #9 Millions of Americans support bans on gender-affirming care, as it is known, and object to trans male-to-female athletes competing in sports against women and girls. What they're objecting to is their inability to chemically mutilate children (and groom them), so good fucking riddance. |

| #6 Fine. It is, after all, a free country. You can live wherever you would like. But you might heed the ancient advice "Caelum non animum mutat qui trans mare currit." Very loose translation: You can move to a different geographical location, but you will still have the same psychological problems there as you do here. |

| #5 So non-essential workers. Unlike Dust Bowl Okies (and many others), whose treatment in California has not been forgotten. |

| #4 Some of them are exaggerating and lying. Others think they will have more friends in the Castro district. In the end, the only statistically significant movement of people in our country is the invasion. |
