The BEST State

[Jaiden986]

stuck in Tucson,Az atm from what ive seen Phoenix seems to be the only trans friendly city,Tucson not really sure,i dont like it here though because it seems to have alot drug users around,not talking 420 but hard drugs and pill popping,isnt my thing really. I really miss the seattle area

California is the place to be, from San Diego, Hollywood, to San Francisco, you can't go wrong. There are technology companies, to fashion, to film... Opportunity abounds! And they're all backed by anti discrimination laws.

Housing can be expensive, I actually live outside of Hollywood proper and it's relatively affordable versus living in the city.

I feel like I'm at the center of the world here! Disney, Knott's, six flags...just a drive away. We got it all , diversity, education, and organic produce.

Come visit, maybe I'll show you around, and I'm sure you'll agree (:

P.s. traffic here is the worst though.like... The. Worst.

Maryland #1!

Statewide LGBTQ laws protecting citizens of this fine state on both Gender Identity and Sexual orientation in all aspects from bathroom usage to housing.

Plus! we have Old bay =p

(I've been to provincetown! I loved it!)

You mean Old Bay the seasoning, right?    'cuz I loves that stuff!

The most moved to state in the union for the last three years is Oregon.  For most people that means Portland and Eugene where housing and jobs are tight.  Just met four new people (trans) out here from Georgia who are out looking.  The climate of tolerance and a rainforest go well together.

The very same! It's like $3 here for a big container... when I lived in TN for a stint... omg the same size was $15... I had to have my family ship me some... it was cheaper xD

You can't have seafood without it......OK, I put it in lots of other stuff, too!

Wat? O_o
Is it just in the seasoning section of the grocery store? Or is it one of those boutique fancy things?

Yes! My roommate looks at me like I'm crazy. It goes on everything. I get a few big containers for Christmas every year

I lived in Michigan when I started my transition and it was okay. For as conservative the town I lived in was, I didn't have too many issues when I came out. There were also several transguys at my school (at least 4 others that I knew of), which is pretty surprising but it was nice to have a community.

I live in Washington now, about 20 miles north of Seattle. The town I live in isn't nearly as liberal as the city, but I'm stealth there so there's really not a whole lot for me to judge as far as acceptance goes. The only thing I've noticed is that, for as liberal as the state is, you'd think there'd be a lot more options as far as doctors go. I have to drive 17 miles just to see my endocrinologist, and there's only one top surgeon in the whole state that I know of.

Are the members of the MC giving you a hard time about it?  I've met some bikers, and I've noticed they have a really macho culture.  They think it's an insult if someone accuses them of being like a woman.

Haha Chicago seems pretty lovely regarding trans women. I'm sure there are bad places to be in, but growing up here my whole life, I have found that most people just let you be what you want.

I'm not really out publicly but one of the reasons is that New York State doesn't seem to be the friendliest when it comes to the TG scene. I also live in the middle of nowhere.

Ohio doesn't suck. Not the best though. I heard California is really good. I've been thinking about moving out there since I was young. Cost of living is rediculous.

Honestly Ohio is pretty LGBT friendly, it had a huge pride and it even hosted the gay Olympics (lgbt Olympics) a year or two ago - next one  is in Paris, France if that means anything... still not as good as some other states though.

I thought the same thing but I transplanted myself anyway. I got used to it. Everyone does. People are paid more too here, so it isn't as hard as you think.

I don't really have a preference between Northern California and Southern California, I figure there are more techy jobs in Northern California though. I've just started looking for a job out there, I'd rather get a job first, then move out there, rather than the other way around - you know anyone that needs an e-commerce marketing manager? I've also got to sell my house in Ohio but that's it for things tying me down.
