if we build it, would you come?

[kariann330]

Transtopia.....a self sufficient, walled city where you must be transgender or a significant other to move in.

Yes it's just a hypothetical situation but if it was ever built, would you move in? If you said yes, what skills would you bring to the city?

I would bring a knowledge of manufacturing, law enforcement and firearms to the city and of course i would move there.

[Sarah Louise]

My answer, No I would not move there.  Where ever you live you bring yourself and your own set of problems with.  There is no utopia.

hippie's commune concept. could definitely work. self sufficiency . I knew of a few lesbian commune back in the day.

[Michelle G]

How much are the HOA's.

[suzifrommd]

No. I enjoy being around cis-gendered people. I like having trans people in my life, but all-transfeminine spaces are very different than all female spaces (don't know if other people have seen this.) I would miss friendships with cis-women if I didn't have them.

[FalseHybridPrincess]

Yes I would move into that city...

but I would bring nothing into it...

we could make and sell transgender dolls made of corn husks

[BunnyBee]

No way.

As inclusion is important to me, I would not move into an exclusive community.

[kelly_aus]

It wouldn't be for me, almost all my life is lived amongst cis gendered people.

[Paulagirl]

No, I wouldn't. I don't hang with many trans people. My idea of transition is integration, not segregation. I also have little worry about my personal safety other than the same precautions that a GG would take.

[Lana P]

Why in hell would anyone want firearms guns are a huge no no hell no. Oh and to respond NO.

[Caitlyn]

There's a small part of me that likes this idea, but really I enjoy being around as many different types of people as I can find, so I probably wouldn't go.

I dunno, maybe I'd move in for a month or so, just for grins lol I could bring my musical skills, that's about it though

[Miss_Bungle1991]

No, I wouldn't. I don't hang with many trans people. My idea of transition is integration, not segregation. I also have little worry about my personal safety other than the same precautions that a GG would take.

I feel the same way. Living in such a place would probably suck and I would still feel like an outcast. Just because I share the same body issue with someone doesn't mean I would want to hang around them. Hell, I honestly find that to be a pretty stupid criteria for hanging out with someone. But on the other hand, if they were a trans person that liked Harsh Noise, Death Metal and old Hardcore/Punk and wasn't a total schmuck? Yeah, that would be a good start. If they were a lesbian that would be even better. But just BECAUSE they were trans and nothing else? No way.

[Randi]

I'm not interested in the least.  It sounds creepy to me. I want to live in a city with symphonys, operas, universities and nightlife.

That sounds like fun. But living in a crappy small town and not being able to afford to move screws you out of that.

[Jill F]

I'll settle for visiting West Hollywood now and again, thank you.

Necessary exclusion due to one's social status is a BAD thing, in case you haven't noticed.  Case in point- Israel was founded as a safe haven for Jews in the years following WWII.  Look how perfectly that utopia worked out for the entire world. 

We just need to educate people, and maybe in a generation or two this will all be no big deal.

[Hideyoshi]

No thanks.

But a question comes up... a self-sufficient non-reproducing population seems to be an oxymoron.

[Anna++]

I'm going to agree with everybody else here, I don't want to willingly separate myself from everybody else just because I'm trans.  We need more visibility in the real world, not less.

[Nicolette]

A ghetto? They bode well.
