How to handle the feelings of shame?

Thanks, I have a new plan that I worked with my therapist on. I will be moving to a new city in a year and a half or so. I am hoping that Colorado is more excepting than where I live now. I need to wait to be able to access my retirement savings in order to move. So that is my goal, having that in my head is helping me.

Many parts of Colorado are very accepting. Do you have an idea of what part of the state interests you? There are also strong conservative areas. Do your research on issues that matter to you. A VERY GENERAL overview is that Central Colorado south of Denver is more liberal. Northern counties, the western slope, and the eastern plains are more conservative, but those are smaller cities than the big metro areas. Even within those conservative areas are pockets of acceptance, especially near colleges and universities.

I like to 4x4 and I would like to rekindle my artistic side so I was looking at Pueblo. I am hoping to be able to buy a house out right there and there is a 4x4 club that accepts transwomen so I intend to join that. From what I saw online they have adult art classes and open studio time so it sounds like a place I would like. I will miss trees and stuff but I have a Jeep I can go to the trees.

I've been in Pueblo for a year now. They do have a lot for the arts scene and are quite accepting. The Pueblo Pride event was awesome.

I am looking to move further west to get closer to the mountains. There just isn't much available out that way. But I continue to look.

I have seen a lot of houses for sale and they are mostly in my budget so in a year and a half I should be able to buy a house. I saw a small yellow one on Zillow that I really want but its too soon to buy anything.
