I'm trans, do trans research, and I'm devestated

I'm in a red state on the tenure track. My research is on trans issues. I'm completely at a loss for words today.

At the end of this semester I'm hoping to leave this position and my initial goals of federally-funded research with the trans community, in place of a teaching focused position in a blue, hopefully safer state.

I'm so sad on many levels, mostly for the world we live in.

Edit: Thank you all for the support and encouragement. I still plan to do social justice work for persons who are marginalized no matter where I end up.
