10 best cities in the world to be a TG's

[Sophie62]

Dear Sisterhood

I have being telling you how comitted I am to accept my TV's. I am giving the chance to Sophie to breathe, to grow and to blossom. I have come to a crossroads in my live where many decisions have to be taken.

I am not marry and do not have children. This means that I am free to relocate myself in any part of the Globe. I am an urban person so it means I like to live in a City. I was wondering if any of you, ladies, knows which are the ten best cities in the world for a TG to live.

When I say "Best Cities" to live for TG people, I mean Cities where TG's are treated with respect, where tolarance and understanding for us exist in an acceptable level. I also mean Cities where you can find decent (not dangerous or taky establishments) TG's night clubs, TG's social clubs, TG's Clinics, Tg's support grops, etc, etc,etc. Cities where you can built relationships with other girls and get together without the need to dres in drabs or the fear of beign physicaly or verbaly attacked, persecuted or beaten to death.

Thank you for your valuable opinion in this matter.

Love


Sophie

Inquiring minds want to know! I also will be relocating in another year or two, would be good to be at least Near somewhere CD/TG friendly.

Hi Sophie,

In my personal opinion, (having visted these cities) I believe that San Fransisco, New York City, and London are the best places I have found for tolerance and understanding....if you were to really push me for just one place....I'd have to say San Francisco every time! It's an awesome city. I've been there both en femme and as a REALLY feminized male several times and I've never gotten so much as a second look!

P.S. I hear Atlanta is real good too.

[EricaCD]

SF, NYC, London (certain parts), Copenhagen (certain parts), Amsterdam, Los Angeles (certain parts), all leap to mind. Any girls dispute one or more of these?

London, IMHO, is a tricky one: many areas where TG community is readily accepted, and many other areas where a TG would not go over at all well. This is just based on my travels there, however, so UK girls should feel free to leap in on this one!

In the southern USA, the only place that I might recommend would be Austin, Texas. Again, certain parts of town will be better than others.

[Rikkicn]

I live in San Francisco and there is more support then you can imagine. In all areas you mentioned. There are laws to protect us here and the cities employees health insuerance covers covers grs surgery.
It's expensive to live hear but this is once town where I can go most everywhere without fear or worry.

[jo_ann]

san francisco obviously (TG gets mixed in with gays)
new york (in certain parts)
chicago (in certain parts)
UK I'm assuming
boston (gendertalk radio show helps push laws to protect transgendered)
thailand (lot of cut boys, pardon my french)

[Phoebe Reece]

I just have to say that I think Atlanta is a great place for any transgendered person to live - at least in terms of places to go and things to do here with general acceptance of who you are. I'm sure Deidra will agree....

[Jennaie]

San Fransisco, NY, Orlando, London, Denver, Atlanta, Houston, Hollywood, Toronto, Miami.

Of course, I believe that San Fransisco is far and above the rest in acceptance of any alternate lifestyle. Besides, it has the some of the best restraurants in the world and the ocean is always so beautiful at night. Hmmm.. maybe I'm talking to myself here.

[Francine]

I would say:
Atlanta, Georgia for a big city, because they have been hosting the SCC (Southern Comfort Conference) for I don't know how many years.
Or maybe Eureka Springs, Arkansas for something a bit smaller. They host an event there every year.
Trinidad, Colorado maybe, (Sex Change Capital of the World), especially if your interested in SRS.
I've heard the same about Phoenix, Arizona. It wasn't hard to find at least two doctors there that specialize in SRS.
I've heard there is a good support group around the St Louis, Missouri area.
There is someplace in Nebraska but not sure of the location that host a TG event every year.

Also wife and I are planning to relocate time is indefinate maybe middle of 2007 or early 2008. San Diego is somewhat a tollerant city to be a cd, TS or TV, I am enfemme usually every saturday and am out to some of the malls.

The wife and I spent a long weekend in Las Vegas reciently and I was dressed Femme every one of the 4 days we were there and not one person said anything to me about the way I was dressed. If your ever in Las Vegas
I recommend the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino for your stay. Between my wife and I we won over $5,000 while we were there and our $850 hotel room was complementary as was most of our food we eat in the hotel. I don't know how TG friendly the Treasure Island is but they made me feel comfortable while we were there.

WE are planning another visi to Las Vegas to check out the real estate market as Las Vegas is where we would like to relocate to.

Well I sure wouldn't recomend west Michigan. What about the Emerald Island of Washington state?

[Debbie Kong]

Toronto has impressed me as a great place for a Gurl to get out and about and have no one hassle you. At least within certain areas that are accepting and Toronto does have a certain area which is accepting.

I highly recommend it!

[Girly Boy CD]

Vancouver. It's very similar to San Francisco.

[Deborah]

What about the Emerald Island of Washington state?

[SIZE=3]I wouldn't know. I haven't been brave enough to go out into Seattle or anywhere else yet. Some of the other girls here have had some luck though.[/SIZE]

[Glenda]

I've haven't had any problems in Houston. I've also visited Dallas and Austin en femme without problems as well. I haven't done a lot of traveling en femme to know how it is in other cities, but suspect that almost any urban area wouldn't be too different. Although in travels prior to discovering I was a crossdresser I'd have to put Key West on the "A" list.

[Kitty Sue]

Brussels, Frankfurt, Berlin are also great places for the GLBT community. Have also Sydney Australia and Wellington New Zealand might be worth looking at.

[Emma_Forbes]

I think London has specific places where it is accepted, for example, going to a transgender friendly establishment. However, unless doing so, I wouldn't go into London ever as a girl. Not being the most outgoing person, I'm probably not the right person to comment but thought I would anyway :cheeky: Mind you, I wouldn't go there as a guy either - I find it threatening. How about Manchester?

[cindybarnes]

I also have to say Atlanta is a great place for being transgenderd. Not only do we have SCC each year here and several places that are CD friendly, but you can also usualy find decent work. being a broke CD is no fun,, I know LOL

I also like Nashville Tennessee , and have spent many nights up there club hopping till sun up actualy plan on moving near Nashville in a couple years.

Amsterdam has been known for being a open minded city for a long time too,my 4th trip there last year for some girl time didnt quite work out , but I always enjoy it there anyway even in ugly boy mode !

Good luck wherever you may land *S*

Manchester and Brighton are 2 T* friendly places in the UK and I hear that Bristol has quite a good scene too. Im visiting there soon so will be able to report back to you about that next month.

[Lindahexi]

Here in the UK Brighton is very accepting and friendly, I'm only 23 miles from Brighton and worked there for a few years, so I know it well.

[Bonnie D]

I've heard and read about Wilton Manors, Florida. Lots of gay and tg friendly places and lots of employment for tgs.

I go to Denver when I want to go out en femme and I have not had any problems. Most of the time I only get just a glance if that. So I would say that Denver Colorado is a TG friendly city(at least from my experiences)

[Caitlintgsd]

[SIZE=3]I wouldn't know. I haven't been brave enough to go out into Seattle or anywhere else yet. Some of the other girls here have had some luck though.[/SIZE]

I used to live there (well, Edmonds Way on the way to the ferry). I'd think that the University District might be an interesting place to go.

I can't believe Seattle hasn't been mentioned more . Ingersoll gender center, and the Washington gender Alliance up north. Emerald City is a CD social club. Also 'Esprit' , a week of dressing and events, is Hosted in Port Angeles, in the month of May every year. Capitol Hill area is very open, and diverse.

[Amelie]

Baltimore is similar to NYC but smaller. A T-girl can go to just about any club or restaurant in the city. There are no special CD night clubs but some closeted type CDs and drag queens go to gay clubs. Rock clubs and discos are OK for CDs, if your into that scene. Forget about going dressed to the mall, there ain't any malls in the city, except for the tourist traps at the harbor. There are no Macy's, Sears, type malls in Baltimore city.
Maybe the only place to avoid, would be collage nights in some bars. I have never been to a bar that had collage night but I figure this scene might be intimidating for CDs.

John Waters is from Baltimore, need I say any more.
