    Just as an aside, I’ve really only had 1 negative experience with a cop and have met many great cops as of late. I’m a Texan, and I’m definitely not white. I wanted to mention this because even though police forces as institutions have huge issues, the people in them are just as varied as everybody else. I doubt it’s just your race - your area probably has plenty of good apples.

    Anyway, I hope stuff gets better! Hopefully you’ll get the treatment(s) you need and can find a stable living situation soon.

      I’m sure. I am in the twin cities though, so its pretty verified that they aren’t awesome here.

      Thanks! You should leave texas, its slowly chewing its own foot off.

          Maybe, but it just isn’t safe for women or us gays/trans, especially when it comes to healthcare.

            More of a reason for me to stay and vote. I don’t plan on having children soon, and me leaving the state won’t make it any better for other Texans who can’t leave even if they need to.

            Regardless, even if I can’t make the state better for women or LGBT+ people, there’s always a different group I can make it better for.
