I do share your dream, and it can start in the small. Here my point is to take over a building (when ever I have the funding for it) to make reasonable accomodation for Jakarta-girls.

But that said, we cannot dream of building a transsexual utopia, we need to be part of and take very active part in societal matters. Like homosexuals have fought for 50 years.

Safe havens are needed, though, because transsexuals are more fragile (and strangely stronger, too) than most ppl - safe havens that can constitute the right basis to work from. But in the end the fight comes from within.

Such a city reminds me a bit of slums, or of an intolerand city.

How would be the city behavior? Would they exclude everyone they don't like or who has an other opinion? How to decide who is allowed to live there? Only Trans, non Trans partner, gay, ..., intolerand family members, other?
And assholes are existing everywhere, no matter what gender, race or whatever.

Those who dislike Trans people would love to "lock" them in a city/slum.

For me such a city sounds awful, no variability. I agree more with hank's statement of beeing a part of the society.
