Some things to consider about moving to a conservative state:

while you may be surrounded by other gender critical people with whom you can talk openly about the craziness going on, you may very well find that you disagree with them on most other issues. This can make social gatherings challenging if politics or policies come up. You have to decide how you will navigate these situations. I keep quiet, ask questions for the purpose of greater understanding (not as a challenge), or find common ground to comment on, and this has worked well. Most of the time, though, we talk about community or family matters and get along very well. My neighbors are kind, fun people who will help you in a pinch. I don't understand how they can hold some of the views they do, but I don't let it get in the way of friendly relations. Also consider how "red" various parts of a particular state are. You may not want to move to "Deliverance" country.
