Thanks for posting.

I love Hamilton! How trans-friendly a city do you find it to be?

I would say that it's average. There are people that are going to hate us no matter where we live. For the most part though people keep to them selves. I would say that things are changing here for the better. But there is still a ways to go.

LOL. That's my favourite part of the city! Lovely old tree-lined neighbourhoods full of century homes. Great urban vibe.

   Hey I hope you see this! I'm an 18 year old still sort of closeted mtf living in the Hamilton lower East end too! I'm on 3 weeks HRT right now but I don't really have much of a support network so I've been looking to reach out to trans people in Toronto, can you message me or something if you see this?
