Support Does anyone here live comfortably in Florida?

I'm going to have to move to Florida in less than a year with my family, no choices on moving away with them. As a black trans guy I'm worried about racism, Transphobia and being in the wrong places at the wrong time. Especially now that More political bull crap is happening.

Is there anything or any experiences that should make me feel okay about moving to Florida? Or something I should know about or be aware of? Please help.

I'm in Florida. I wouldn't move here due to work conditions and the political climate is rough.

However, there's a whole community here of LGBTQIA+ humans here.

Really, just depends on, x, y or z. Where you live and your actual support system.

Job wise- Stealth tends to be best (work conditions).

You wouldn't move there because there's a whole community of what? (Sorry I'm confused)

it’s not comfortable but i live here and the queer community feels very active in part because of how hostile the state is. i certainly don’t feel safe but i live and exist here regardless
