www.erininthemorning.com
Transgender people are migrating across the country, and many are trying to decide which state they want to move to. This list shows the best states for being trans in 2023.
  1. Washington
  2. Colorado
  3. District of Columbia
  4. California
  5. Minnesota

I’d love to hear why other trans and queer refugee folks picked their state! Perhaps I should move to Washington?

    As a trans woman who moved from California to Washington, can confirm. There are plenty of conservative types, but they mainly congregate in the eastern, desert-y part of the state. The warehouse I work in has pride flags hanging up on the walls, which even surprised me.

    Oh thank god my home state of MN is on that list!

    Honestly, Minnesota (at least in the cities) is super queer-friendly from my experience. The latest legislative session has put some pretty positive things in the books and have enshrined the state as a trans refuge.

    In the last year I’ve been in the process of transitioning and my coming out couldn’t have gone smoother. No one’s given me anything more than a passing glance as, I assume, they try to figure out my gender. But even that’s been kept to themselves and I’ve heard nothing but respect for my name and pronouns when I’ve been out and about.

    WA resident here, raised in AK. The healthcare here is pretty a.azing. my medicaid pays for all surgeries, procedures, even hair removal!

    We also have some good laws like how demanding to know what kind of genitals a trans person has is something that you can call the cops about.

      Thanks, that sounds wonderful! It’s good just to read about a real alternative place where things are so much better for people! I’m happy for you!
