I am now also traumatized and left with more questions than I thought possible
Thank you.
As an American, you just gave a better context for the stuff I did understand than most Americans could.
The colors weren't red and blue back then, they were Navy Blue (North) and Grey (South). While it's true that most of the south was predominantly Democrat back then, the events leading up to and including the Southern Strategy in the mid to late 20th century, cause the Republicans to stop being the progressive party, and become the fascist party. The Democrat didn't really move much to the left during that whole mess. That is why you'll see the southern states being referred to as red states today, because they are gerrymandered to guarantee Republican victories.
I'm both impressed and concerned at the level of detail you supplied here, but...thank you? For some of the context
The op seems to be portraying a fictional FtM character in an anachronistic US civil war.

the states that won the civil war are more likely to accept trans people for who they are, and are more sex positive, than the states that lost. in this warzone, a transgirl trapped in the confederacy gets saved from that fate and finds one or more partners who will treat her the way she wants to be treated, and also gets one of the symbols of her past life replaced by a more appropriate one.
Ew gross no
Pretty sure explaining this to a 5 year old would put you on the SO registry
