I live in Maine in a town called saco, I have not experienced rejection from anyone or anyone in town knowing I'm trans, the people in my town are fat, old rotted teeth and disgusting. The women are nasty fat women all f...ked up on well fare with 20 kids by 80 different men, the women also look and act like men. Very FUGLY. For the most part I do not get along with the majority of women because they're all whores in my town. There are very little things to do here besides shop at a few clothing shops and ten mins away a Walmart.  The mall is 20 mins away. For the most part I hate this town and the people in it as they are the low end of society. What is your experience in your town and what are the people like?

Lmao, Neanderthals

Well I live an hour long ferry ride from uber liberal Seattle in a smaller Navy town called Bremerton. The county is an Interetesting mix of conservative and progressive. There are plenty of unsavory people sure, but lots of really great people as well. Bremerton has come a long way and definitely no longer deserves the negative image that it hasn't been able to shed. I spend as much time in all 5 of the towns over hear as I do my own and they all have there own quirks and charms. Plus it so beautiful here, few better places for a kayaker like myself. People in these parts are generally more active and outdoorsy than average. All in all I love where I live. I am still closeted and pre everything so I don't quite have that perspective just yet, but in general it is my experience that people here are an accepting bunch with the exception of a few, very loud, bad apples.

I grew up in (and still visit a few days a month) a small town in the middle of lettuce and broccoli farms in CA. Actually I lived in a canyon on the outskirts of the town so even more isolated...
Highschool was in Monterey, CA, but it was a 90 minute drive each way.

Hometown is probably not very accepting of trans culture (my dad was the only person in the valley who would buy a great quality pickup truck from a mechanic who was out as a crossdresser)

My small highschool was very accepting, although I didn't identify as trans* until after college.

Currently I live in Marin county, just north of San Francisco, so I think one of the ideal locations for me to begin my transition.

My town is almost the middle of usa .Sprinfield Mo .Rolling hills with almost as my trees as grass.( if you hate the mower this is not your cup of tea) Even in town where my house is i get rabbits/deer/ground hogs /beavers /oh yea SNAKES..Right now trees and bushes paint colored rainbow .Down side tornado's /flash floods /some pretty good snow storms .. The people are mix of extremes .bible crazy group /large group of cowboy types/middle age people like myself good folks/white trash just stay out there way/then your 70s group is like its my way or no way (age).but theres trans people but dang there hiding so far.. If you take on church here they will hand you your ass .The doctor and therapy around here is very good .  Over all take it slow and be safe about it and gal will be ok .

I live in a soulless, boring town in the Midwest. It sucks. It's dull. Yeah...that's about all there is to it. If I only lived in the real Green Meadow. *sighs* Oh well.

I live in a quiet little coastal suburb of Istanbul which is 1hours away (actually 40-45 but damn istanbul traffic!) from the chaos of the city. The population here is mostly conservative like most places in this city, Decent people but they are nosy as hell. The coast is 3 minutes to my house and we got a beatiful view on princes islands. We got a 30kms long cycling road on the coastline which is one of the two dedicated cycling roads in the whole city. We wont be staying here for long because my mother cant handle the gossip when I go fulltime so we will move to a more crowded and liberal neigbourhood that is more close to the heart of the city.

I live in Los Angeles.  It is about the most diverse city in the world.

The neighborhood I live in is Studio City Hills.  It is a very affluent neighborhood and many of my neighbors are recognizable celebrities.  Basically, the guy at the grocery store who looks like Eddie Van Halen is indeed Eddie Van Halen.

People cool there but LA traffic is hell on wheels.

Big American city, very diverse. Everything from big money to a bunch of homeless, there's ultra conservative closed minded people to liberal and easy going. There are gated wealthy communites and crime ridden hellholes where vampires come out at night. There's really all types here from all over the world. Fortunately there's a pretty decent LGBT community here so that's cool.

small suburb of Chicago. College town, very friendly and liberal/

super conservative..churches all over the place. Can't wait to leave this place one day

The valley is not too bad, but the 405 is a nightmare the whole way down and so is the 101. I have the luxry of being able to stay off the roads durning rush hour. However, if I out over the hill into the basin traffic is hell between 6am and 10pm. Lucky i seldom leave the valley durning rush hour. My dad takes me to my doctor appointments so I don't have to worry about driving in the more hectic parts of LA.

Originally from the East coast, grew up across the river from DC, so about as diverse an area and people as you can imagine.  Moved out to the Valley (SURFACE) Of The Sun for work, where the family hates the weather from New Years to Thanksgiving, tho March 24th usually is a nice day....  The usual mixture of ethnicities abound, but still, mostly Hispanic.. You don't ever want to go to the west side, and the manta "stay outta th' Avenues" is life saving..  Being Trans, and found anywhere west of Central Ave and you'll wish you died as a small child.

AZ actually is one of the best states for good therapists, great surgeons and terrific hospitals.

I live in a small country town about 6 hours from Adelaide in South Australia. It is exceedingly conservative, comprised of farms, tree loppers, vineyards and very rich fishermen. How you might ask can all of this be so? Well I live 10 mins from the coast where there is crayfishing (lobster), 2 mins from farmland and 20 mins from over 200kms of vineyards including Penfolds and other famous winemakers.

The people are mostly wasps "white anglosaxon protestants", and hate anyone that is different to them. A large cross section of the community are 40+ and very well off. The other people are on the very low end of the socioeconomic scale, with no jobs, crammed housing and single parent families. Sadly the town is built so that they are place in one area and this causes a great deal of community hatred if you have the wrong post code, which is sad. Conversily, there are not trans people but we have the largest lesbian community in South Australia, which is accepted and not looked upon as odd. We have very openly guy men too. But trans people do not live here as they (we) are hated. I do not understand why, but the last trans person I ever met was chased out of town. In terms of help there is non as the doctors refuse to help trans people or refer on. We have no gyno, Psychologists or Psychiatrist's. In fact to see a specialist can take up to 18 months and requires traveling to another state in most cases.

We do have a University campus 1 hour away, and a nice new hospital near it too that is being built. It is a very patriarchal place with large men who chop down trees, wear flannel shirts, drive trucks and like beer.

However with all the bad things it is still a pretty place with open fields, lakes, rivers and hundreds of miles of pristine coastline.
