TRANS PEOPLE in the US: What area of the US do you live in?
-
@JoscelynTransient The Southwest.
@pawsplay added a Southwest poll!
-
@JoscelynTransient Mid Atlantic (Philadelphia)
@starkos ...as a girl raised in the Great Plains/Midwest and who now lives on the West Coast, I guess I just assume that's all "Northeast"?
The fact I didn't remember to put Philly on the Northeast poll though is a problem...and unfortunately if I change it, it resets the whole thing.
I guess Philadelphia people reply to the Northeast poll to allow me to count you! Apologies, ADHDisaster here

TRANS PEOPLE in the US: What area of the US do you live in?
I'm curious what regions of the US have the most active trans users on the fediverse. Please respond first to this poll, then find the appropriate follow-up poll and respond too. This is mostly just for our general community curiosity/knowledge as an interesting bubble of trans people on the internet.
Also, apologies for lopsided choices on the poll and missing a few regions. My instance only does 5 options for polls, and I tried to aim for where I at least know a few people are. Tried to add additional polls for others, know I still am glad you’re here and going to try to count you!

@JoscelynTransient okay I'm counting Nevada as California lol. I'm also nornev so arguably also kinda pnw.

@JoscelynTransient @rachel

@thomasjwebb oh, added a separate southwest poll! Ran out of options…and somehow spaced on an entire chunk of the country
-
MIDWEST (trans people only): Pick which city or region you live in. Assume I am talking about the general metropolitan area of these cities.
@JoscelynTransient Where would you count as being "rural midwest?" Wyoming is both "rural" and "elsewhere" because it's definitionally fucking nowhere.

@SymTrkl I suppose Midwest is best bet then? Kinda Great Plains still (which, as a Nebraska girl, is Midwest and I will die on this hill)?
Sorry, was wondering and could only think of like two people in the West/mountain zone that’s not one of the other regions.
-
PACIFIC NORTHWEST (Trans people only): Pick which city or region you live in. Assume I am talking about the general metropolitan area of these cities.
@JoscelynTransient rural pnw ftw!

@JoscelynTransient I mean I count Denver as being midwest, mainly because nobody ever talks about "the west..."

@JoscelynTransient I'm slightly closer to being in the Inner Mountain West, but I answered as PNW.

@SymTrkl @JoscelynTransient _I_ talk about the West, though I might be inclined to put Denver in the Rocky Mountain region. But even the classical Midwest is so varied in terms of culture, climate, economics, etc, that it is hard for me to see it as a singular region. Like, if you are going to include Ohio, Kansas, Minnesota, what do they really have in common?
(Other regions have similar divides, for example, the Pacific Northwest east vs west of the Cascades, but at least they are mostly divides within a state.)

@JoscelynTransient What would you consider Alaska? Closest I can see is Pacific Northwest but we’re really sort of our own thing. I imagine Hawaii is as well.

@Undercat has those thoughts after posting too, was actually not sure how many Alaska and Hawaii trans folks we might have on here. Comments for now can work! I can add a poll for that too if there are enough. Going to probably put all this into an excel and make some graphs, so I can incorporate it that way
