Hello all,
This is my first post here. I'm a t-girl who's been living abroad (teaching in China). I have many questions because I'm from a small town in the southern U.S., but once I move back to the States I'd like to settle somewhere SAFE. I will probably ask in a poll perhaps, but I'd like to settle down where men are tolerant of t-girls. I'd like to minimize the chances of meeting someone who'd react violently to any revelations that I'm not a biological female.
Perhaps I should mention, I'm attracted to men of color so this may or may not have a bearing on your answer - I'm not sure if it would. I'm not sure how liberal African American men have become, but when I left the States several years ago the only African American men that would date me just wanted a casual encounter (on the Down-low). I read about the tragic slaying of Islan Nettles in NYC while in China. I've always assumed I'd settle somewhere like NYC, but after reading this I think I'd rather ask other t-girls' opinions of which communities are best (welcoming, safer, more tolerant, etc.) I've been gone several years and plan to move back to the States later in 2014... after summer most likely.
