As a fellow trans and bi person who has lived here over 25 years and also spent some time in the South; I feel measurably safer. There are pockets of transphobia and bigotry but unfortunately that's the state of most places. I've managed to be safe here and find a community and friends.
As far as the future goes, I'm hopefully my girlfriend and I can one day raise a family. Massachusetts is not a perfect place but a better one for trans people than most other states.
As other commentors have said it is expensive and the closer you are to Boston, the more expensive it will be.
