Another Random Thought That is Utterly Unimportant

 Why do so many of the transgender people I know of outside of Indiana and a few in Pennsylvania reside in the Pacific Northwest?

The PNW is the home of the Ingersoll Gender Center, which has a long history as among the first places in the US that people could go for treatment for gender-related dysphoria. I'm not sure, but guessing from the name of the center, it may have some connection to the first trans-gender surgeries done in Denmark. There are loads of Scandinavians in Seattle, so it seems like a natural place for this field of medicine to have spread to in the U.S.

Interesting. I didn't know that. But I know one web comic artist who ended up in Seattle and currently has a day job doing tech support for Nintendo.

But I don't need to any more convincing that Indiana is a terrible place for me to be right now.
