I often get asked by people which states are the best states to be trans in. Sometimes it comes from people looking colleges, sometimes it's from people who want to move. Here they are!
What's truly heart breaking for me is how we find ourselves as refugees. Fleeing hostile states that have loved and fostered us up to this point. So much has gone wrong and we're not even the cause. We're not even the biggest "problem" out there. We're just 'the easiest target'. We are not shrinking violets. We will be heard. For those of us fleeing they who remain must make ourselves heard. Loud and Proud.
Wow, Oregon not even in the honorable mentions? I’m not feeling snubbed here; I just thought this was a great place to be trans and it’s a relief to see that there are so many places that are arguably better!
Bringing up vocal feminization surgery piqued my interest. From everything I've ever heard, that surgery is discouraged because it's simply not very good and has high risk of complications.
Is that not the case? It might be good for you to do a deep dive into vocal surgery on a future post, because I'm guessing a lot of people are like me and are eschewing it due to thinking it's not a wise option.
Delaware will remove your gender marker when you get id to match your birth certificate even with medical letters. You need a special form from a doctor after you get your dead gender marker back.
I disagree. Colorado is the home of Lauren Boebert and recently had a shooting at an LGBTQ club. Rural Colorado is much more dangerous than Eastern Washington. Eastern Washington also has a doctor that performs bottom surgery. Less white supremacist activity in Washington too
any more thoughts or info on illinois, chicago area in particular? looking at lurie hospital for gender affirming care for my trans son. we’re in east tennessee now so it is awful.
I thought Connecticut and Oregon were supposed to be good. I’m confused. Anyway my spouse just got a new job in Oregon and we are currently in California. Ugh. Any thoughts on Oregon?

In 2024 Connecticut will be in this top 5.
I would add New Jersey to this list.
Thank you for this! I’m trying to escape Ohio in the next few years.

Malapropism alert:
Please strike "With no further adieu," replace with "With no further ado."
(Gotta watch those automatic spell-checkers—especially with homophones.)

How far outside of the top 5 would you put Maryland?
