Which countries are "Safe" for (trans) women?

[Tills]

I love these detailed reports and pieces of information. Thank you so much @Moonflower and @KathyLauren: you are helping to build an awareness resource for others. That is inspiring.

I'm at the airport to fly up to Scotland. Flying just because with 2 big bags and a carry-on it made life a heap easier than crossing London followed by a long train journey.

I'll keep you posted with how I find attitudes in Scotland. I would say though that there's no doubt that the UK has deteriorated as a place for trans people to live. Attitudes are so different from even a few years back. I was very shaken at the beginning of this week when I sat next to a mother and her daughter opposite on a train (limited seating) and they exchanged glances, rolled eyes, and began smirking to each other. I moved seats.

A few years ago I would have felt sufficiently protected to have said something, had I wanted to, but no more.

I found Ireland to be very trans friendly.

I hope my move to Scotland will not be a chimera. An illusion of sanctuary.

These other countries mentioned above by others may prove much safer prospects for some of you.

I wonder if it's certain areas in the UK that are worse? Since presenting fully as a woman I've had no problems at all from people. No weird looks, comments or such. Yet when I was a gay man holding my partners hand, I got loads of hassle and kids filming me whilst laughing.

Would be nice if it didn't happen anywhere though. I think the political climate has everything to do with it.

Exciting times Tills! Have a safe flight. Does the train take you near or is it taxi from the airport? Bit of a trek from Glasgow with 2 big bags and carry on isn't it?

You'll have to let us know how the locals are. Have you met neighbours yet or is that all happening today?

Despite what the media may lead you to believe, Florida is very accepting. There is a wonderful LGBT+ area called the gayberhood.

It is rarely the people who are the problem. Oppression comes from government policies and laws that no one voted for.
