Even US organizations are warning against travel to some parts of the US. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Canada is, too.

That would've been helpful, yeah.

The only issue I have is that it's an average of the overall state. California is pretty great; but not all parts. I happen to be smack dab in the middle of one of the more conservative areas. It's about as easy to find allies as it is to find bigots. Just a few months ago, there was a fucking pro-nazi rally in my city. I was disgusted.

Yeah definitely, policy/legality is very different from culture. Unfortunately I don't have a culture map available and don't know where someone can find one. Plugging into the local queer scene or asking for opinions from the community might be the only avenue to gather that info.

Seems like it would be safe to say all the red and orange states are places where a bunch of wankers vote for politicians that are actively trying to murder children. Yes, it's an inceiteful take, but it's also true that any so-called laws designed to destroy the morality of kids who already call themselves by a different gender are actually laws intended to raise the suicide rate. No, assholes, you're not "saving" anyone by refusing them mental health care or forcing their teachers to call them by their birth gender and dead names.
