Auckland, New Zealand. It's practically run by trans people - they even have their own damn street!

This is really awesome to hear considering I am looking at a couple jobs there that I could transition too. How about Wellington I am not sure about the available jobs there but it really looks like an awesome place to move too.

I've heard great things about Portland, which is nice as I've been thinking of moving there for a while.
Oh I'm a lucky man to count on both hands the ones I love

A blah blog

Here in Australia you are probably going to get hassled more for being an American than trans. 
Of course New Orleans is loose, it's just been oiled.

I have lived in many cities and towns in my lifetime.  New Orleans has always been a town for men who want to be women.  Houston Texax is now trans friendly.  I lived in Galveston for a time and was never hasseled.  Almost any place in California is good to live as a woman. 

Almost anyplace you choose to live today will treat you like you want to be treated unless you break the law then you can expect to get it in the ass and I don't mean sexually.

I live in Wellington; it's a pretty sweet place. It's highly public sector, full of government workers, so everyone tends to be very tolerant and politically correct. It's also the Arts capital of NZ, so it's pretty funky and alternative at the same time. There's not really a bad thing I can say about it, except for the wind.
Clearly it's awesome though, cuz it has me in it  :D

Yeah, Weta workshops is around the corner from where I live  :D
I'm in IT and I've never had a problem finding work - if you're talking that sort of tech.

I know that weta does tours of their workshop from time to time which I know would be a blast to check out. Lol I'm such a nerd but I love it :)

Yup I am in IT and engineering, I am building cloud infrastructure stuff now it's really fun. I will totally have to bug you sometime to ask you opinion about some of the companies there for your opinion.

Indeed....

I'm leaving the UK, as (a) its over populated, has (b) a failing over-stretched NHS system, and (c) very few mineral assets of energy use left...

North Sea oil.... sorry folks all going, going..... GONE!

This bodes badly for Blighty over the next two decades...

The USA has very similar problems, apart from the fact that it's still a manufacturing nation, but it's also severely energy depleted and in many ways bankrupt already....

The FED is killing the dollar by continual QE'ing.... any of you Yanks noticed the price of car fuel and food recently?

Australia and Canada are energy rich, the Aussies are China's mining operation.... this should for a wee while keep ticking along nicely....

But the ramifications of Peak Oil - which was past for good in 2008 - has the potential to derail a global population of 7bn (BIG TIME!!)  ???

NZ is great location - a tiny small population and essentially a giant farm - produces the world's best sailors too.... it so off the beaten track the Chinese will leave it alone also.... when push comes to shove for the last of the black gold fossil-fuel spoils...

In Europe the safest choice is Norway.... as long as the Russian neighbours leaves there oil & gas reserves in tact....

Where we're collectively headed is gonna be a tough play if you pick your nation state wrong.... so decide wisely kids!

Be my guest; I've had contact with the three largest service providers in Wellington, so my knowledge is fairly sound.
