Which are the most trans-friendly states in the US?
Is there one near Ohio?

I just posted the question to google and got a list I think Ohio was 36 surprising me California was not number one, but fifth. Nevada was number one. Also surprised me was that Iowa was something like 15th but they just voted to take trans health benefits off their state insurance. Pennsylvania was 25 I think that was the highest near Ohio.

I don't have personal experience with this. (I think it might be a question that would best be asked on one of the transgender forums on the web.) I would say the Twin Cities in Minnesota is very LGBTQ+ friendly in general so I presume that would include transgender. And the laws in the state mostly support LGBTQ+ rights. Once one gets outside of the Minneapolis / Saint Paul metropolitan area, I'd presume the support level varies as it would in most states.
Thanks for this!

IL is very trans friendly. I don’t live there anymore but when I did I had my meds, doctors visits, and both surgery’s completely covered by my insurance. I just needed a few letters written by my team saying I’d benefit mental health wise from the surgery and I understood the possible risks involved. I couldn’t be fired from my job, and my coworkers would get in trouble if they harassed me.

If you don’t already the first step is to get a diagnosis of gender dysphoria or no one will take you seriously and you won’t get much of anything covered or prescribed. My doctor is super nice but wouldn’t work with me until my therapist gave him the diagnosis.

Never go to the south particularly Arkansa. They can refuse to treat you for any medical condition if your trans.

Your best bet is the west coast or North East coast and a few Midwestern states.
