Unfortunately, it seems like everywhere that’s good for one isn’t good for the other.

You would think they should be related, both are a matter of individual liberty and self determination, but in reality that’s not how it goes.

I’m currently living in a state with an“assault” weapons ban and would like to move eventually, but I’m not sure where.

Are there any Goldilocks states that are good on both issues?

    Honestly, it’s one of the things I love about Michigan. Our gun laws are quite reasonable, and Michigan (at least the SE portion) is quite trans friendly. Also, if worse comes to worse, fleeing to Canada is a relatively “easy” option…

    I’ve gone to a many ranges, sometimes with other trans girls, and no one has cared whatsoever. Hell, even though I don’t pass at all right now, I’ve even had employees at more than a couple shops default to “they” when referring to me. Which, given my overall experience with most ranhes/stores, was pretty wild.

    We have our shitty right-wing chuds (literal Nazis and Klansmen just north of me), but they’re far outnumbered by the rest of the population which is wonderfully diverse and genuinely very nice people. I definitely feel very blessed having moved here a few years ago before coming out.
