As someone who has a family, its probably not safe to have girls in a red state.
- Soon, maybe not blue states either.
- Just hire private security guards for them. Oh, you aren’t a billionaire? Never mind…
- But see, according to my awful family in Oklahoma, they voted for Trump specifically to keep their daughters safe from all the pedophile trans people who are raiding the bathrooms of their grade school like orcs sieging Helm's Deep. Sure, their daughters now have no reproductive rights and they've never seen or met a single trans person, but this was definitely the best decision to keep them safe and healthy.
  
  Its literally the conservative social media capture. Was fixing some dude's computer today and shit like what you're saying was bursting out of his phones "its a slippery slope, next it will be pedophiles are okay and they are all actually blah blah blah blah......" How many trans people you know? I've been around and only met 3 that I know by name. They don't have the numbers to seige shit and they aren't a homogeneous group. Its fucken weaponized ignorance.

Depends on how far away the civil war is.

  Isn't there a big union that aligned it's general meeting with something... I forget what year that's set to happen. Supposed to open the possibility of a massive general strike.
  2028, just in case Trump doesn't leave office:

I've been reading reports of mothers being turned away from post-natal and miscarriage care lately
So no, it doesn't seem to be safe right now. And that's just for mom, never mind the world you're bringing a child into

I'm so glad I got sterilized right after the Roe v Wade leak. Screw being pregnant or even sexually active with such high stakes. Even with birth control AND Condoms, I was scared. If I change my mind, it looks like I'll have plenty of orphans to choose from...

Adopt.
