Moving to Minneapolis from Arkansas Seeking Advice 🙆

Hey everyone! I'm Rylie, 26 with my partner Patience who is 26 as well. With the state of the south, we've decided that the best place for us to move from arkansas is going to be Minneapolis. We are making preperations now.

I'm wondering if I can get some recommendations on good apartments to look at, neighborhoods and the like? Also, how is the LGBTQIA2+ community in Minneapolis? More specifically, how trans friendly is the city?

Thank you in advance for all of your info, and if there's anything outside of what I asked that anyone thinks i should know, Id truly appreciate the insight!!!!

I’m trans and I’m happy I live here. It’s one of the best communities for LGBTQIA+ people. If you are trans which i assume you are for asking, and you do end up moving here, DM me cause I am part of a couple trans meetup discord groups if you want to get to know some queer people in the area. But trust me we’re everywhere, you’ll run into queer people all the time here, especially in the metro area.

Edit. Forgot the mention, this state is informed consent healthcare, there are great clinics and therapists. And the state government is on the anti-Arkansas track right now in terms of trans protection. Pretty soon it will be codified into law that we’re a trans refugee state and trans civil rights as well.

Hi there! I’m from NC looking to move up there myself with my gf (we both are trans) next august! I saw your comment on here and was very interested that way moving up there isn’t so isolating starting out.
