@eri 2) (cont’d): No support groups or social infra nearby. If you’re religious, no you’re not, because there is no progressive place of worship nearby, and if you’re not Christian, forget it. False rumors spread fast and hurt very materially: One person who is so freaked out by your gender presentation that they literally feel unsafe around you can make all their friends believe you’re dangerous to be around.

hey fellow trans folks, i could use your input:@eri 1) Top concerns are national/state: Will I be disappeared into a camp, able to change my driver’s license/birth certificate one day, discriminated against by law? Priorities: build lots of relationships with community/neighbors so they see me as a person, not a weirdo/threat.
2) Just knowing everyone around is conservative. Meeting a progressive person or ally is a rare and pleasant surprise. Medical/aesthetic care is remote: my HRT doctor is 90 minutes away, no laser/electro for 40 miles
