I don't get this geographical divide from acceptance to non-acceptance. People are people regardless of where they live. True, there are small areas of any city or state that might have more or less tolerant people then the average. But rural California, rural Indiana, rural New York,Rural Florida, or any other rural area in any state might meet with less tolerance then urban areas of those same states. Then as already pointed out, in any given city, there are places to stay away from in drab or dressed.
I feel the same way when I read about how the SA in say Dress Barn, Lane Bryant, or any chain store are so accepting. I say bull! Some of you just happen to find a SA that happen to work ion any one of those stores that just happen to be accepting and helpful. I guarantee that is not the norm for ALL of the stores in any given chain. That is unless they have been trained and ordered to handle Transgendered people juust as they would anyone else. I have not heard of ANY chain where that is a policy. It comes down to the ONE SA you delt with that happens to work for that one particular store. You can't say one chain is better then the other. You can only say that you happen to have been waited on by an understanding SA.
it all comes down to people, not geographical area or a certain chain of stores.
