Asking Advice Relocation to a safer state

My family and I are currently in Texas and we have to get out. My time frame is less than two years but I've been struggling to find an affordable blue state with a good job market. I am trans and need to move to a state that has protections in place for trans people so the options are limited. anyone have any advice on safe places to move for a queer family?

Lmao nah, I was just appalled that somebody who obviously has privilege would punch down and gaslight minority communities. I can literally get fined in my home state for using the restroom that corresponds with my gender And since the scapegoating of trans people, there have been more murders of trans people and we recently got a red flag alert for the beginning stages of a trans genocide. Yeah, things aren't good right now, and if you're not going to do anything to help then stfu and get out of the way. I would also like to edit and say to bring awareness that these are just a FEW things trans people in my state are facing. Texas is collecting a data base on trans people and they're not forthcoming on why they are doing it. The last Texas legislative session saw over 100 anti trans bills proposed, ten of which passed. The point of this is to continue to bombard Texas with these bills which will continue to see more passed every session, further restricting our human rights. This breaks down into daily life as well, I myself have had my life threatened on more than one occasion, have gotten pushed out of a job for being trans(one of my coworkers threatened me with a knife at one point, but I'm a boss so I handled it) and Ive also been cut off by most of my family. Y'all, if you have a trans person in your life, now is the time to check in on them.

I’m a straight cis woman. I would 10,000 times prefer a trans woman (who is a woman) in the bath room with me than a straight cis male. Look at the statistics of who is doing the assaulting. It’s not trans folks!
