How come New England tranners aren't nearly as visible or common in the public sphere as PNW (Seattle/Portland) tranners, despite even better protections and a similar population level?

>despite even better protections
That's likely it. Trans people ultimately disappear back into normal society once acceptance reaches normal levels. The west coast is more politically heated by radicals and more politically divided by the rural areas, causing more division and as a result notoriety.
I don't buy this. SF is very insulated from the right, and it's completely fucking nuts.
Hey, your assault would be completely ignored regardless of who it was. except for maybe a white police officer on a black person.
>Hey, your assault would be completely ignored regardless of who it was
That still leaves the fact that I was assaulted for my identity.
I'm not ACAB. I believe in reform, but this stupid hurr durr defund the police bullshit is nonsense. They need to encourage better people to be policy officers and do psych evals, more training, actually increase their pay, and have different levels and methods of response for different situations and get rid of the stupid fucking corrupt-ass police union (as well as try to reform prisons etc).
Cishet white men don't have to worry so much about getting hassled, harassed, or attacked and not having protection against a higher likelihood of such things occuring. I feel as if I could be attacked anywhere at any time and there would be nothing I can do about it and the person who attacked me lives in my apartment complex. I've contacted so many resources. And the thing is, I don't even have the spoons for it. I'm now using the word spoons in this way...
I'm fucking ruined.
I wonder if there are some assumptions embedded into your post. It almost sounds to me like you didn't get what I was really trying to say.
I suppose maybe its a SMALL comfort to think that cishet white people also have issues with the police not doing shit for them. Portland police and the PPA that keeps them employed are the worst and instead of making it better, the more vocal activists are just making it worse.
>policy officers
police officers*
What I meant to type.
>I wonder if there are some assumptions embedded into your post. It almost sounds to me like you didn't get what I was really trying to say.
LOL. You definitely don't have the...spoons... for this.
> It almost sounds to me like you didn't get what I was really trying to say.
I certainly didn't get the emotional feelings you had, but then again, it's a throwaway line.
In any case, you seem to know who did it, or can probably figure it out easily. You're in America with the fucking second amendment. I think you can handle your own shit yourself well enough.
>LOL. You definitely don't have the...spoons... for this.
I'm trying to be a good person and not... be like that. I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't feel good and I don't know why. I am very confused. I didn't know trans people had all these... things. I didn't know it was like this. I feel like I'm being punished except that's a horrible thing to say. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... I don't know.
>You're in America with the fucking second amendment. I think you can handle your own shit yourself well enough.
I don't feel like I can trust myself to own a firearm as I have been stupid enough to have suicidal ideation and, as I'm sure you quite well know, it would not exactly end well if I... utilized my right to bear arms.
If I hurt someone, I look bad in court and to the police and everyone and I don't really feel like people would automatically take my side. You can say they will all you want, but it is a fear regardless. I wanted to hurt her so badly, but she was big for a quite apparently some people came by to help me and yelled no so I stopped plus she was big for a quite apparently cis woman; I'm short for a late transitioning trans woman at 5'6~5'7 whereas she was taller than me and clearly heavier).
After the people came by to help, I remember she was just standing there fucking trying to argue with me and them while I rolled around wallowing in pain yelling at her. Or at least that's what I THINK happened. I'm not sure. I was in so much pain and misery at the time.
Now I'm like a full-on SJW stereotype too. What has happened to me? I have triggers now...
Why did I listen to those people? Maybe god is punishing me for having bad ideas and thinking I couldn't get scholarships or a job and being afraid of minorities...
Oh god this post is so awkward and poorly explained and everything in retrospect. Fuck.
Because people from New England are normal unlike dumbfuck rednecks in the south and attention whore west coasters. We just want to be left alone and watch the Sawx.
Fuck off we're full.
First part of the post was good. Second was retarded, kys
fuck off we're full
it's real though
i love u boston
greater boston area is pretty great for trans people ive never really experienced any direct discrimination aside from a few times when i was super clocky
i live here and need tranny friends asap
The NE is a mystery to me, but I might move there next year. Can a NE tranner give me a QRD?
There's a shitload of trannies in Texas for some reason, unironically makes me wonder if they put something in the water down there
>makes me wonder if they put something in the water down there
Yes, they put lots of shit in the water here. It's been long proven that it turns frogs trans.
It's a boring as all fuck, isolating place to live (unless you love nature, in which case there are some nice bits up north). Good luck integrating socially into some small New England town where everyone is some gossipy boomer fuck as a tranny. Boston isn't really a great option either unless you have some top tier academic/professional opportunity in that area. You're much better off out in Cali, the PNW or any north eastern metro area as a trans person.
no one else but a new englander could've written this lmao
>Boston isn't really a great option either unless you have some top tier academic/professional opportunity in that area.
Why? It seems like a pretty cool place, though Seattle seems more artistic
boston and its outlying suburbs are insanely expensive
basically the only apartments you can find for under 2k/mo are actia; broomclosets
hows that? i have a trans friend in washington and she says its very nice
>hows that? i have a trans friend in washington and she says its very nice
extreme autism, lack of attempts to even look feminine, polyfags outnumber everyone else. if you want anything resembling normalcy and not complete degeneracy and extreme autism, dont come to the pnw if you're trans. the southwest was much better
As a European tourist who visited Seattle, it felt like walking around in a real life tumblr
...who cares?
fucking me, i hate it here
maybe the weather's got you down :^)
the weather here is kino, its actually been really nice the past couple of weeks here. weather is one of the few things the pnw is amazing with
>the weather here is kino
too foggy
its only foggy really in autumn and occasionally during winter time. fog is pretty aesthetic
that much i can absolutely agree on
every season, so much variety in the skies, beautiful greenery and forests, great temperature for the most part... don't know if i could ever move away, simply for that fact alone
do wish ppl here were a bit more... aware, i guess
Poor cost/fun ratio. You pay NYC type prices for a small/mid sized city that shuts down completely at 2AM. Bad traffic. Worse crime than you may think (look up the homicide rate). Bad traffic. Weird locals (Massholes) plus a shitload of transplants (for school, local tech companies etc) that jack up prices and dilute the culture. It has all of the issues one would associate with the term "tech hub". Also the weather sucks.
Damn. I was either gonna move to Nashville or Boston and Boston was in the lead.
Just get out to Portland Maine and call it a day.
Fuck yeah Portland ME is such a gem
oh i visited once i loved it
i love the snow and the diners. it was cold as balls but not in a dreadful way
must be a pain to live there if you have to shovel a driveway
pnw trannies are genuinely the worst trannies ive ever met and talked to
t. lived in oregon and moved to washington last year
New England is best if you like never going outside
I live in the middle of NH, even out here in the woods I see some other boymoders and even like, socially out only she/her people
i love new england
most people don't think about how gay we are they just think about trees n nature and stuff
Dead states nothing there but old people and bad gloomy weather and expensive to live at country side and cities
You will only see trannies in the universities.
Might as well just move to New York or New Jersey.
If you are from the east coast.
When I used to live in New Haven and most of my Cousins are in Florida.
Everytime we would go visit Florida our
Itinerary is filled to the brim from Disney to Miami
But when my Cousins would visit us in Connecticut..... crickets.. we just end up going to the mall.
These liberal states are boring and stagnated shitholes.
People here dont have kids either absolutely grim and lifeless.
Meanwhile christian fundementalists are pumping out like 14 kids each
>california
It's wild how fucking densely packed east coast cities are, I gotta drive 6 hours to get to the next notable city
The popularity of my city lately (Portland OR) is really fucking starting to bother me. As much as I like being accepted and seeing trans people, I don't want less resources taken up by people coming here from outside when its already years out to get surgeries. Not only that, but, actually more importantly, our city is designed in such a fucked up shitty way partly because it relies (relied...) on public transit. Except now, Trimet is corrupt as fuck and ruining the city and ruining lines. It could be so much better, but they choose to keep it like this.
So our shitty streets keep getting shittier and shittier and they are building apartment complexes and its like... look just don't come here please I'm sorry. Its shit.
Go to Seattle. Its somehow cleaner. That should tell you something about how awful Portland OR is. I just... live here and have friends and family here and know nowhere else to go.
They can't even put Pride on the proper fucking month any more and decide to instead put it further into the middle of Summer when thanks to human's being shitty little creatures, it is now unbearably hot out and the only reason they did it was to make me more money, but they won't admit it even though they literally partnered with Disney.
Like, okay, to be clear they say its because there's other events that occur around that time, but I don't buy it. It shouldn't even be June 15-16. It should be around like the 20th or 29th.
I don't understand why they moved it in any case, seeing as June IS pride month. Fuck the stupid little Pow Wow. They can come earlier or later if they want to do both or just, you know, put it on the proper date if you have the resources to PARTNER WITH DISNEY
Fuck.
I'm so annoyed. I've had such a shitty month. Its been 24, technically 25 days since I was physically assaulted for my identity. No one has done shit for me then I discover even Pride is on the wrong month...
Portland has been the worst parts of Seattle and Los Angeles rolled into one city for decades. There's a reason everyone that actually lives in Oregon dislikes it.
salem is worse and eugene is portland's problems but way worse. the other big cities are usually college towns with obscene rent prices
West coast has a reputation that makes it overpopulated by old money white libs, which draws a significant amount of visibily queer people to immigrate
New england doesnt have the same reputation, so the queers whochappen to live there get treated well, but it doesnt end up with flocks of queers moving in the same way cali and seattle have
west coast is new money though, the east coast money is all old old
Upstate New York is a lot like New England except with more opiates and rednecks. Conservative region but since it's in NYS we have amazing protections. There are quite a few trans ppl here including myself 🙂
Stay the hell out of Maine. We don't drink Bud Light here.
