And if you'd decide to leave, where would you go?

Context for why I'm asking: I'm trans and currently live in Minnesota, I moved here from Florida so I have some idea of how miserable big moves can be. I can get EU citizenship which makes me very lucky, but... Do I sit here and hope Minnesota can protect me from 🥭 or do I try to build a life somewhere else, again?

No. There's 50 states with their own legislative bodies and laws. Our system of federalism is much better than any gives it credit for at ensuring that people of different places can live as they please. The limited nature of federal government means that the most changes are actually state level choices.
