Youre totally fine, i love peoples interest in my state, no worries!
I am pre op, dunno even if i will go that far yet. I dont want to say too much about it but yes they were asking those questions to figure out where to put me. Lemme clarify that i didnt do anything deserving of this, i just dont talk to police. So it was one persons story against nothing cause i stayed silent, which is what i was always taught to do. In oregon, prisons and jails are segregated by AGAB, and theres not much to be done about that. The regulations for that come from the federal, so blame trump.
So they were asking me those questions to figure out if i can be around men or if i needed to be in solitary, excuse me, "protective custody".
Afaik you can get gender marker changes and all the other things we want here in oregon. I got hrt the day i had my appointment, no waiting or hoops to jump through. We have a very active and vibrant rainbow community, especially closer to portland. Its beautiful here, and most people are pretty chill with everything
That said oregon still has its own problems. We still have pretty bad schools, the homeless crises is not getting better. Lots of theft because pigs dont carr about it. Etc etc.
No place is perfect. But fo being trans, for me, its the safest place in the country. Not 100% safe, nowhere is, but i do feel it could be much much worse. Just dont interact with police i guess lol
AGAB or genital anatomy? Has there ever been a test case to distinguish between the two? I.e., a case involving very specifically a post-op person who underwent an old-fashioned, 1970s-style 100% sex change?
AGAB, afaik. Idk if i had the other bits if it wouldve been different. But the way they talked about it sounded like mens or solutary no matter what i had
