I wish. Its just too warm over here

Yeah, it's pretty terrible. It's a big part of the reason that I want to escape from the west for at least a few years. In Japan, there is seriously almost no transphobia. Granted I sometimes face racism, but it usually just takes the form of dumb stereotypes and ignorance, and most people are pretty okay with you once they realise that you speak Japanese and aren't compliant with their stereotypes about foreigners, so it's not too difficult to ignore.

In the west, by comparison, I'm genuinely afraid to go outside a lot of the time, have very limited job prospects, and am regularly treated badly by people I have done absolutely nothing to wrong. And I live in, according to recent surveys, the most LGBT-tolerant country in Europe, and have had all sorts of good fortune come my way, so the situation for others is even more grim. I guess you could view it as running away, but it just takes too much out of you to live like that.

Anyway, this is the hangout, so I'll avoid any more srs bsns. :'D Sorry.

I really don't know how it is in Europe, but it seems to be getting a bit better over here in the US. At least I don't think you'd have to be afraid to go out in public, at least where I live. Maybe in some of the more ignorant(usually religious) areas of the midwest or the south. Up north here in WA it's actually pretty tolerant. We were one of two states that legalized same sex marriage last election. So while there does still seem to be an aura of intolerance in a lot of places. I do think that there are some havens of tolerance, even here in "the west".

Anyway just know that EP will always be a place of tolerance, we love you Elin for who you are!

I find if you change your pants every once and a while, they aren't quite as sticky.

Or shower on a regular basis.

Or remember to wipe your ass.

You cool.
Plus I need some conscientious reading material once in a while, I've become so desensitized to harsh words and judgement, but way more angry and ranting, it hurts to have a conversation without a use of a curse word of some type anymore.

Tell me about it. It's finally kinda starting to cool off a bit this week (high 80s). Last week was high 90s/low 100s(F). Way too hot to be working in a kitchen.

I would say I feel you bro, but apparently 110 degrees and climbing is just peachy *not to me* in 29 Palms California.
This is apparently when I will hate life because 120+ temps all summer thru fall.

and Hiya.

Random southern/Bible-belt states are the ones you want to watch out for. Rural communities also seem to be fairly "intolerant," more from a "I don't understand what's going on and am therefore going to buck against it." Canada is the same way -- for the most part, we're fairly tolerant, but get out to some of the more redneck farming/hunting communities and it can get kind of intimidating. Although we don't have the Christian/Catholic "God-fearing country" that the States pushes.

Really, it comes down to individual communities. Some places are much more tolerant than others, even within the same state/province. I tend to find big cities (like, really big cities) to be the most tolerant, since everyone there has so much more to worry about than whatever issues you happen to have.
