    just leave. they’re never going to accept you in the bible belt south. the sooner you walk away, the sooner their tax base goes down. and for all those “waah, it’s too hard to leave!” people: if you stay in a place where you know they want to lynch you, that’s on you.

    i grew up in the south and i was ostracized too (and i’m a cis white male!). i know exactly how it is down there. there is no compromise. either the fed takes complete control of those states, somebody genocides the lot of them, or it will always be that way.

      "if you can’t afford to leave, or you or your family have medical needs and can’t relocate, or if all your friends and family and social spheres are here, or if your job is context dependent, or if you’re undocumented, or if your spouse or family disagrees with your desire to move, or if you’re enrolled in in-state college, or if you’re elderly and have lived here your whole life, or if you have a farm, or if your ancestral home is nearby, or if you’re homeless, or if you have a strong sense of duty to your community, or if you’re a military service member, or if you’re a kid…

      …that’s on you!"

      edit: also, many marginalized people know and will tell you-- there isn’t a place on this earth for people like us with 100% safety from violence

      u/Masterblaster420 seems like a real good candidate for the block feature.

      Just leave, and go where? There aren’t any places that are free from bigotry, just different levels.
