NYC as a trans person now

Hey everyone, I posted in the NYC sub asking how things are for trans people there now. I haven’t been back since 2019, and a friend from another state warned me about the anti-trans climate. A lot of replies seemed to defend the city, but it wasn’t clear if they were from trans people or folks who truly get our experiences.

So, I’m asking here: if you’re in NYC or have visited recently, how is it for us? Is it still a safe space, or should I be cautious? Honest insights would mean a lot. Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks so much for the kind and thoughtful responses! It’s exactly why I wanted to ask here. YOu're all beautiful!!! <3
