Where can you live safely as a transsexual?

Answer 1

Please note that transsexualism is not gayness. TS persons simply try to medically and surgically remove any gender differences so others won't know and so they can live a comfortable and natural life. s conflating transsexualism with gayness are hurtful and may be removed.

Unfortunately, there will be people who will view a person with transsexualism suspiciously, wherever he or she goes. The ignorant masses do not deal well with anything that they do not consider to be "normal" or anything that they consider different or "weird". That's just the perception of the masses and doesn't reflect the attitudes of people who are not affected by that kind of prejudice or fear. Yes, fear. When the masses react with violence against anything different they are reacting out of fear. On the other hand, if the person with transsexualism does not go around announcing the fact to everyone, why would others care?

Typically you have safety in numbers, find where the most people like you are. Realize though, it may be a trade-off of greater safety in exchange for lower quality of life in other aspects. You are less apt to get the fear response, regardless of where you live, if you treat it as a non-issue and neither try to flaunt it or hide it.

Hello. I'm a female (by birth) I live in NYC. By far this would be the best place for a transsexual to live safely. I would look into the big cities and their neighborhoods, stay away from small or rural towns. You're less likely to be accepted there and stand out more.

Less typical response

Actually, smaller and more rural areas might be better. That means you have less people to convince. In larger areas, there are more people to mistreat you, and they are more likely to get by with it. If nothing else, form a transsexual house. You could all pool your resources and rent or purchase a large house. You would likely need an attorney to help you avoid running afoul of housing laws. Joint ownership might help things go smoother from the legal end, but speak to an attorney if you try this option.
