I’d love to hear why other trans and queer refugee folks picked their state! Perhaps I should move to Washington?
I am, unfortunately, too broke for this…
Appreciate you!
Sorry :/ Hopefully it’s not too bad where you’re at?
hugs
Thanks! Luckily I’m in the mid Atlantic and my state is mid on LGBT protection laws… Though it is a purple state. I also have a partner and a job (which I didn’t always have), so I don’t consider myself high risk right now. I would like to be somewhere with stronger protections one day, though.
Oh thank god my home state of MN is on that list!
Honestly, Minnesota (at least in the cities) is super queer-friendly from my experience. The latest legislative session has put some pretty positive things in the books and have enshrined the state as a trans refuge.
In the last year I’ve been in the process of transitioning and my coming out couldn’t have gone smoother. No one’s given me anything more than a passing glance as, I assume, they try to figure out my gender. But even that’s been kept to themselves and I’ve heard nothing but respect for my name and pronouns when I’ve been out and about.
