    Ever been to Canada? You’d be welcomed in Vancouver Calgary Toronto Montreal but go to a smaller place and you’d be in for a rough time

      One anecdote: Trans people do exist in rural Canada. The woman who sold me tires outside Saskatoon was I’m-pretty-sure-maybe-definitely trans and gave every appearance of getting along fine with her coworkers.

      I can’t speak to her quality of life generally but anyway nobody has chased her off to Vancouver yet. I would imagine tire shops are probably on the worse end for harassment so if Saskatoon was hell on earth for trans people she probably wouldn’t pick a tire shop to work at.

        Lol just because she gets along with her coworkers doesn’t mean she doesn’t deal with shit. I would bet money she does in SK.

        I’m from rural Alberta too and I was bullied heavily just for having long hair. Honestly fuck rural Alberta.
