I am Knataliegh Faith Bedell 45yo transgender female. I live in Oklahoma where the government is doing everything it can to stop transgenders from being able to get gender affirming care. They have also made where any place that assist transgender folks that is government funded will lose that funding. They have also passed laws on which bathroom and if we can play sports as well. I am being forced to move to a new state where they allow people that have gender affirming problems to receive the care they need. I have chosen Oregon because they have such a diverse and expansive amount of gender affirming care sites and is highly open to different ranges of backgrounds wether it be your race your gender or your sexuality choices. I look forward to anyone that wants to have a civilized and adult conversation about this and other issues that people are facing due to laws and orders been voted on and inacted or already in place when it comes to transgender care or how and why we go through what we want to or have gone through.
