As an American, it's sad state that I have to click the article to see "which Georgia"

I assumed it was Georgia the country because I have trouble imagining a transgender model continuing to identify with Georgia the state into adulthood.

Atlanta is pretty progressive despite the state around it.

And Atlanta has a pretty decent trans community from what I’ve heard

Of course. If it was our Georgia she would've been shot to death.

By a cop who was denied a donut

Would have been shot if it was the US

I don't think there's a Tbilisi, GA in the US.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

Yeah, that's why I had to click. I would be unsurprised to see this from the violent anti-trans faction of the American South.
