This will have been drawn from the work of Erin Reed Though its worth noting her only firm, DO NOT TRAVEL, so far, is florida. Though the rest are of course still dangerous.

    I’d say most places in PA aren’t very trans friendly. It might be better in Pittsburgh,Harrisburg and Philly. But pretty much everywhere else is a bunch of redneck pennsyltuckyians

    This has been the map of places I’m willing to travel since the 80’s… I guess not much has progressed

      american problems are american, and not the world’s problems or fundamental to the human experience.

    But lots of states have safe trains and railroads, there aren’t that many crashes or derailments of passanger trains.

    Joking aside, has anyone heard of The Green Book?

    Compiled by Victor Hugo Green (1892–1960), a Black postman who lived in the Harlem section of New York City, the Green Book listed a variety of businesses—from restaurants and hotels to beauty salons and drugstores—that were necessary to make travel comfortable and safe for African Americans in the period before the passage of the 1964 civil rights act.

    Maybe something similar could be done for traveling modern America?

      i love this idea and i think that the biggest hurdle to overcome is s similar one that martin luther king jr encountered: moderates who don’t believe that they’re prejudiced.

      for example: when gay marriage was a hotly contested issue; i lost track of the number of times straight people would insist it was good enough that gays can have all the rights of marriage in domestic partnerships without actual marriage and call themself an ally in the same breath.

      there’s also plenty of examples of businesses happily taking money from gays while claiming to be allies and simultaneously spending that money on lobbying for anti-gay laws. eg chik-fil-a, gold’s gym, salvation army, etc.

    I’m cisheterowhitedude and I hate going to backwoods places. It’s not that I’m in danger, I just don’t want to deal with chuds or pay any money that might support them in any way. So I stick to this map also

    Ohio is mixed. The cities are safe except when occupied by the fascist paramilitary groups like the proud boys. The rural areas are dangerousish

    As someone FROM AZ their has been a lot of positive change for LGBQT communities, but I would not recommend being out as Trans in public other than known safe spaces. Would love to hear from someone who is still there to tell me I am wrong.

      Really depends. It’s a big state lol. Anywhere in Tucson or Flagstaff? Safe as safe can be. The valley is a mixed bag based on which part you’re in but generally okay. Anywhere rural is also gonna be pretty hit-or-miss, but for the love of all that you hold dear do not go into The Mojave, Idc how much someone loves Fallout.
