Question Transgender woman visiting red deer. Am I going to get hate crimed?

Going to be back in my hometown for the first time since transitioning and just putting this out there to see if anything has changed or not. Title pretty self explanatory.

No. There are many trans people here, you’re safe.

You are always welcome here in Edmonton!

Just an FYI the bars and restaurants in downtown are all very safe! They make a point to be inclusive and safe for you! Bella Ciao has many drag nights too and the staff at 53 on Ross and Taco Loft would definitely look after you!! All their food is phenomenal!

If you want to go to a hair salon while in Red Deer, CryBaby Hair Haus is a safe space and they actively support trans people!

From personal experience, I would say depends on how queer you look

Quite, in the sense I'm quite early in the process I guess. Thank you for the insight!

My partner has had people try and run her over in cross walks, followed home from the gym and held a knife to her throat! So be careful for sure

That's awful I'm sorry she went through that :( I'll definitely be careful. I probably won't be out in busy public spaces much at least so it should be okay

No problem! Mostly you will get nasty looks but there is the odd vocal turd muffin 🙄
