Parents who want to shelter their kids from the real world and avoid explaining trans folks should probably just homeschool their kids if they are that concerned or pay for a private school that believes what they believe. Public schools should support all people and teach about all races, genders, orientations, etc. I don't have kids but I want the kids in my state to be up to date on this stuff if they are going to live here and work here some day. Makes for a better and safer society if we aren't all beholden to archaic beliefs from out dated religious types.

Party of small government that wants to wield the power of the state against a single digit number of children. Despicable as usual.

cya! hope you have a great day even if you haven’t deserved it!

Some day, and it’s not too far down the road, the crazy fucks that are trying now to pass these crazy laws are going to pay a high price for fucking with an entire generation or two.

There is a concern among some lesbian groups that the "transing of kids" is leading to a decline in lesbians. There is some data to suggest that many young women who now identify as "trans" would have been lesbian a decade ago.

No, fuck you! Have a nice day.

i never once didnt “let someone live their life”… can they not survive without my “support”? what does that even mean? nobody knows, fuck reddit.

Every single trans man I have gotten to know was someone I assumed to be cis until they said they were trans.

For whatever reason 90% of trans men pass but 90% of trans women don't pass. I have probably walked past at least 5 or 6 trans men in my lifetime and not even noticed that they were trans.

if your kid is more comfortable talking about this with their teacher than you, the only thing you should be upset about is how much you've failed as a parent.

People need cars when there is no effective transit....

>Most New Englanders have been fine with gay relationships for probably thirty or forty years.

I'm not sure if this is the case. It seems more like 20 years.

I don’t support your dumb ass but you have a right to be one so maybe let other people just live their lives then

Yeah you can do this anytime after of year. The word is Stoßlüften. 5 minutes or so and there oughta be a draft, so open windows and doors in a way that the air will flow. That being said we usually don’t. We have a forced air heating system and I change the filter twice a year/winter.

Yes, you're the only one in the whole wide world who does this.

Okay just don't transition then??

I bought a house in Eastman and commuted, which financially worked out very well for me, but was very socially isolating. The upper valley was shockingly pricy for renting when I was starting out (circa 2017), but that’s because they know there are few options for the nurses, residents, and students at Dartmouth College.

The whole area is very safe, and I know a lot of my colleagues rented at Timberwood before transitioning to Emerson Place in Lebanon. Both were very nice, clean apartments, but were, and likely still are, pricy. Everyone had a roommate and split the rent, so you may want to reach out to others in your residency class and make friends early. I know of others who were married or in serious relationships that rented homes in the Lebanon and Enfield areas, but its all going to be dependent on availability. Only a couple people lived in WRJ. The downside to living in Vermont is you have to pay state income tax on your resident salary, whereas you don’t in New Hampshire (as we don’t have a state income tax).

My commute from Eastman in Grantham was about 25 mins door to door. Enfield was about 15 mins. Essentially any of the apartment complexes are five minutes or less away.

Feel free to DM me if you’d like more information or recommendations. I really loved the upper valley and miss it quite a bit. I enjoyed my time as a DHMC resident and felt that I got very good training (in the Internal Medicine program). I hope you have a similar experience with Dartmouth and welcome to NH!
