In oregon, prisons and jails are segregated by AGAB,

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?

Cops suck everywhere all the time always.

Of course, this part is a given, it's in the very nature of their institution - but the exact level of danger faced by a trans woman in such encounters will probably be quite different from one jurisdiction to another.

Decades ago post-op trans women were 100% safe: in 1980s, 1990s etc if you had female genitalia between your legs, no one would ever stuff you into a men's jail or prison. It didn't matter if those female parts were there from birth or if they were constructed in surgery - female parts between legs meant women's jail or prison. You were likewise guaranteed female ID documents if you were post-op. But today's evildoers have scooped to lows that never previously existed in all of human history, treating post-op trans women as male and stuffing 100% anatomical females into men's institutions.

I am a post-op trans woman. I got my SRS primarily in the hope that it would make me safe - but now it is still not enough. Hence I am asking how it is in Oregon: are they Trump-level evil too, to the point that they would stuff an anatomically female person with men because her female parts weren't there from birth? Some of the wording in your original post kind of points in this direction - when you say they asked you "What genital were you born with?", questions about surgeries and "Safe around other men or no?", it sounds like you got woman parts, but the evil pigs were still looking to stuff you with men because those parts weren't birth-made - unless I totally misunderstood your meaning and intent in those passages, in which case I apologize in advance. But being a post-op woman myself, now I am understandably worried if I would be in danger of treated like a man or stuffed with men in Oregon if some unfortunate encounter with state-sponsored terrorists goes the wrong way.

I personally had my partner pick mine,

Wow, same with me! Nice to meet another sister who got named the same way - this manner of naming seems to be very rare overall..

Anyways, in other news, due to a supremely nightmarish interaction with police, i am now out to the entire state of oregon!

So sorry to hear this part, sister! But I also have to ask: how safe or unsafe is Oregon for trans women in general? I live in CA, but I am fascinated with OR, both its beauty and certain specialties that are available only there. Maps by Erin In The Morning show OR as being among the safest states, just like CA - but from your (apparently) horrible experience, I now have to wonder if maybe that assessment is inaccurate?

I am a professional telecom engineer, and I am a co-founder of a non-profit organization that seeks to build a new non-profit cellular phone network based on retro 2G technology - see the Retro Mobile Phones community I recently started in the Fediverse. Oregon is at the top of the list of locations we are after, because it has significant spectrum vacancies (portions of GSM-compatible radio spectrum that aren't already claimed and taken by some big company) and it appears to be a safe and friendly state, as opposed to Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas etc - other states in which similar spectrum vacancies exist. But in light of your posted experience I am now worried - hence I would like some further clarification.

My partner and I did travel to Oregon last November for exploration: we arrived in Eugene by Amtrak train (I avoid flying as much as possible), then rented a car and drove out east to explore some of those spectrum vacancy areas. We didn't have any negative interactions, and we absolutely loved McKenzie river - but perhaps we were just lucky?

Where in the world is this bus stop with that message on it? Or is it a photoshopped image, and there is no actual bus stop that says this?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the rich and powerful seeking immortality is nothing new.

he’s deeply and upsettingly afraid of dying,

There is a very old tale about a powerful tyrant who had all Earthly power, then became very upset when he realized his mortality.

A little data point on the whole marriage thing... I and my life partner have been together for 20 y, will be 21 in September. We never got married and we don't have any rings. I keep hearing that a lot of marriages these days don't last this long.

We do informally call each other "my wife", but still, no formal marriage was ever done.

I live in USA as a non-citizen permanent resident. I cannot vote, hence I only watched that election from the sidelines. My personal theory is that the reason why Trump won over Harris in 2024 is because a large number of people wanted accountability and justice over crimes against humanity that happened under Biden, and which Harris seemed to fully support. But here we are, a year and a half into Trump 2.0, and yet absolutely nothing was done on that issue, while the orange man made life hell for those who live in post-sex-change bodies (I happen to be one), made the economy even worse, and started a new war of choice.

Now bring on the downvotes...
