Figured I'd put this here for those who need it. If worse comes to worse and you need to jump ship for whatever reason, this website lists all of the safest states to move to depending on your needs.

lgbtmap.org/equality-maps

This specific link is to the maps for equality in gender identity and orientation, however at the "choose an issue" tab at the top, you can sort to find other states that suit your specific needs (school censorship, abortion rights, family leave laws, healthcare, nondiscrimination laws, etc etc tec)

the emotion i just experienced is kind of indescribable

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
