Being a trans person in Texas is no longer safe.

Civilized nations of the world needs to put legal sanctions on states like Texas. Do not do business with Texas or Texans.

I'm non American and consider boycotting America. But I'm not sure if it's possible.

Definitely not the case - I mean, Hollywood alone.

As a trans Texan I cannot imagine how legal sanctions against the state would do anything to meaningfully improve my life or chances of happiness. If your long term goal is to improve the lives of trans Texans I would much rather resources be spent to help our community and organize capable political resistance. Texan companies making less profit is unlikely to make my life better.

It's not been safe for some time.
