Blaire White is a trans activist — and a conservative.
And she’s apparently decided to relocate from Los Angeles to Texas.
So, how are people taking the news? Well, Ms. White says she’s noticed quite a difference between how liberals and conservatives have reacted:
Since I announced my move from LA to Texas, my inbox is full of:
Liberals telling me I’m not welcome here because I’m trans and conservatives will beat me up.
Conservatives excitedly welcoming me and encouraging me to move faster.
Interesting. ?

??? people really think Texans will beat you up?
Unreal.

Yeah, all the people that were so nice to me this week were totally all on the verge of assaulting me! ?

It’s almost as if the caricatures of Texas conservatives aren’t necessarily accurate.
I think many conservatives are actually right leaning libertarians. Live your life, don’t tell me what to do, and we’ll all get along just fine.

Come on down! You'll find the conservatives here actually pretty welcoming. Southern hospitality and all.

Hey Blaire! We talk on IG and league of Legends sometimes. I’m from Texas, and you’re welcome. We’re excited to have you. It’s hot as hell but there’s a lot to do!
