There is no safe space for Transgender People!

Opening of the Third European Transgender Council in Malmoe over shaded by racist and transphobic attack

In the night of September 30th two delegates from Turkey of the Third European Transgender Council were attacked by a group of five to seven people when leaving a restaurant. The trans activists have been harassed verbally and subject to physical violence.

Wow! That's scary stuff  😮 Especially in a country known for it's openness to diversity

This is just something that we will have to deal with.  Granted it would be nice if it wasn't so out in the open.  But maybe one day it will be.

I lived in Sweden for a while. I decided not to look into transitioning there because while it had the reputation of being very "accepting" and such, it just didn't "feel" the part.
