I will soon be finding out how Istanbul is in terms of welcoming and safety for trans people. I believe that the touristy parts of Istabul are fine mostly. I'll be starting in Taksim square which is fairly diverse. I'm not sure how the area around my recovery hotel will be as it's not a tourist area. Having my cis male boyfriend with me feels like a real benefit. Turkey is somewhat tolerable to lgbt people but it's very much determined by area and if you're a visitor or not.
I'll feedback more once I get a feel for the place.
