With their health care before the Supreme Court and president-elect Donald Trump about to take office, trans Americans are seeking to move to states where they feel safest.
On November 13, Iris posted a two-minute video to TikTok with a link to a fundraising platform to help her cover moving costs. At age 20, she has not yet gone through the process of finding gender-affirming care, or legally changing her name or gender marker. Already in states like Texas, trans people can no longer correct the gender marker on their birth certificates. With laws in red states poised to become even more restrictive, Iris felt that she had no choice but to leave.
” Iris, born and raised in Texas, says that while she’s accepted moving, it’s not always the first choice for many people in her communities. “Trans people who are looking to leave their state don't want to leave their state,” she says. “Leaving is not something that we choose lightly. Nobody wants to leave the place that they grew up their entire life, unless they feel like they need to.
