Comment on What is the best and worst USA state to live in? And why?
QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoI live in Florida and I have a rebuttal. I live in a small county and it’s ALL old people. It’s fucking HELL to live around people who are so old they can hardly operate a shopping cart, and they can vote too.
The only plus is that old people have no idea what being trans is actually like, so since 5’5 and have a feminine voice I pass to literally everyone. It always amuses me whenever someone with Trump/TPUSA merch genders me correctly which happens nearly every day since I work as a cashier

Texas is worse. If anyone finds out you’re trans there, your life is in danger - the cops will turn a blind eye to whatever JimBillyBob and his kin decide to do to you. The only place in Texas you might be able to live somewhat safely is Austin.
Plus, in Texas even the young people are fucking Boomers. Same entitlement, same attitudes, same fucking racism and hatred of anything different, same fucking Megachurch bullshit… it’s like the entire fucking state collectively decided that the 50s were the height of cultural development and has actively invested in generational stupidity ever since.
Don’t get me wrong, Florida is shit too, but it only recently turned to shit - pre-DeSantis it actually was worth visiting, and living in if you were near the beach (nothing like swimming in the east Atlantic down there).
But Texas has been working on being a shit state since before they joined the union - IMHO Florida has at least a couple of decades to go before it gets as absolutely idiotic as Texas.

that’s true. My family has lived here for 6 generations and from what I’ve been told it’s gotten a LOT worse.
We have a megachurch here too. Lost my mom to that cult, though shes always been a shitty person tbh 😪
For some reason there’s a tiny dominos right next to it which I got pizza from and it was pretty awkward lol

Depends on the city. Gainesville and Orlando and Key West are pretty progressive.
