Re: transgender and moving to Geneva--what can I expect?

Hi Skigirl,

I would think (without any first hand experience) without being too cruel, it really depends how much you stand out.

Zurich has its fair share of alternative lifestyles and they are very well tolerated. Depending on my above point, you could expect a fair amount of staring in public places, but i really don't think it would escalate to any more than that. It is certainly highly unlikely to escalate into anything physical as it may do in other countries/cities.

I'm not sure you'd be quite as accepted as in San Fran, but I would assume you would be able to live a fairly unhassled, undisturbed life over here.

Hope this helps.
