Being trans is difficult
The funny thing is, I wish I felt like a woman. It would be easier to wear dresses, skirts and blouses rather than men's clothes. I wouldn't have to worry about being murdered, or getting beat up by men or women who feel like I'm a freak. I wouldn't have to worruy about being denied transgender/gender affirming healthcare. I'd like to transition here shortly but the way the country is going? I might need to move to California or Washington State.
I live in the Cleveland, Ohio area which is all about trans affirming care but reality is, it could be taken away at any moment. Places like Cali, Washington, Colorado or Oregon and New York City are better suited for living for someone like me. I'm also a Wiccan Witch but Cleveland should be okay for now.
I need to get a job as a psychologist and make a lot of money so I can move west in the next few years. I think that's my best bet.

There's a man crying in the middle of the video because a woman was on the phone talking about how trans people need to be eradicated and destroyed basically. I haven't experienced this kind of hate except in my family to be honest. I haven't been faced with being told in public that I'm a disgrace to humanity. When I was a teenager and I first came out, I spent my time praying to God to make me a biological man. He never answered my prayers, but I'm more comfortable being trans now then I was back then.
I just want to hug all my trans brothers and sisters, and non-binary siblings going through fear and hate in this country at this very moment. I know it gets better.
Now I know what I'll be writing for nanowrimo. A semi-dystopian novel about transpeople and the gay community being beaten back into the dark ages and hiding who they really are once it's outlawed. I plan on making it a bright ending, a positive ending. But I want to write a thriller that scares many of us because it's what a lot of us fear with all that's going on.

Those are some of the safest in terms of human rights overall. In terms of other safety, though, they're highly prone to earthquakes and the water wars.

Midwest is okay, West Coast is often better.
