That’s really good to hear and I’m glad they do those kind of nights for people to make them more comfortable.
I will say that in my experience the climbing community is super accepting and even if you went to a regular climbing place that nobody would be judging you and people would be willing to help and engage with you if you wanted.
Nice. Which city is that if you don’t mind sharing online. Obviously, you don’t have to share if you’re not about putting too much personal information online.
I like to think my city, Manchester UK, is an accepting city. We have had a whole gay village for many years but obviously being a cis male I don’t really know how it is to be gay or trans but I don’t care what people do as long as they are not hurting anybody you should live be able to live your life as you choose without judgement. It doesn’t help with the current state of the world and people having culture wars.
I live In Melbourne, Australia. I have heard that Manchester is a pretty decent city for queer folks, but I think there’s a lot of factors that go into it. The NHS (and the UK as a whole) has a lot of deep and systemic issues when it comes to healthcare for trans folks, which don’t exist here in Aus, or in my state. As well Melbourne has been very resistant to the import of right-wing anti-trans rhetoric from the US and UK.

Yeah the staff were great. Tbf tho I also live in one of the most trans-inclusive english-speaking cities in the world.
