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?

    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 fricking nuts.

      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. Frick 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
      Frick.

      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...

      Hey, your assault would be completely ignored regardless of who it was. except for maybe a white police officer on a black person.

        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 fricking 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 fricking 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.

          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 fricking second amendment. I think you can handle your own shit yourself well enough.

            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 fricking 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 fricking 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.

    It's a boring as all frick, 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 frick as a troony. 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.

        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 (Mbuttholes) 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.

    The popularity of my city lately (Portland OR) is really fricking 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 fricked up shitty way partly because it relies (relied...) on public transit. Except now, Trimet is corrupt as frick 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 fricking 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.
