Honestly I kinda want to move to Seattle because it's great if you're a tech industry transgender specifically (which I am) although it sucks for everyone else.
Portland is cool in theory but it's a nest of horny polycule transbians and I'm too ace for it. I really thought there'd be more people here that have similar creative drive and genuine aspirations in software but there's kinda nothing and it makes me sad. I'd just move but I'd feel really bad about abandoning the people I know here who almost fit that bill for what I'm describing but are just too depressed for it, and my girlfriend also really doesn't want to leave so. yippeeeee.
