I think the debate of who has it worst: men or women, is very difficult,
and often leads to listing all the things that trouble men or women.
For example how women more often have mental issues and attempt suicide, and are victims of sexual crimes.
Then someone says male mental issues are underreported, and men are more often victims of violent crimes, more often go to jail and commit suicide etc.
It leads nowhere. It's too complex and the issues are hard to qualitatively compare.
About porn: that sounds like a very narrow view. At best it's putting the effect before the cause, just to give the change of gender a rationale. There must be a ton of other causes. (No amount of porn of any kind would make me want to change gender/sex). There's also plenty of 'vanilla' porn.
(A personal experience is that girls I've been with have been very masochistic, and my boundaries have been pushed, not theirs.)

Well, that's settled, then.
Unironically sad.
How is it putting effect before cause? So, in reality first girls become trans and then they travel in time, become cis again and watch abuse porn?
Sorry. Used the cause/effect analogy wrong.
I mean some girls want to change gender, and then when asked for a cause, they refer to porn, when in reality they would have changed gender regardless. (I'm guessing. Also don't know what cis is).

I can't watch that, I'm a transphobic neoliberal fascist.
You mean this quote? It's about who is more crazy by gender in the abstract, and is behind a paywall, you academic communists are reading that for free.
My question was about whether MTF were predominant or just the loudest *****es (they were, but the trends show more even MTF and FTM numbers). And I was speculating about interesting psychological causes of gender dysphoria, not the level of crazy in trans populations.
Ok, I see what you meant. I don't think the girls consciously formulated it like that, it was probably more of a speculation by the author. I don't remember.
Cis is Latin for "in front of" or "within" and it is kind of the opposite of "trans" which in Latin literally means "beyond" or "on the outside", so it's used as term for just plain men and women. The whole transgender thing has a poor terminology that doesn't make much sense etymologically, but it is what it is.
cis is "on this side of" actually.
@MadVader knock off the edgy bull****
yes. it is an increasingly common allegation in certain circles that have discovered its utility for fearmongering.

My bad, I thought it was open but I must have been logged in my university system. I just think it's an interesting read, this is not a simple topic and I don't think that it can be explained in simple terms.
There is a website that can be used to make any paper open, but I am not sure if me posting that here would go against the forum rules (I don't really consider it piracy myself because it is perfectly fine for anyone who has access to send papers to someone who doesn't in an email, but not everyone agrees with that view).
I think you are right to not advertise bypass sites, the cops here are strict. I'm aware of the the sites you mention and will google them on my own, since I'll need access to academic articles in the near future anyway (I'll be looking for supporting research for humanitarian, not-quite-fascist projects). Thanks for the courtesy!
What are the reliable sources to learn about best places to live in the US?
I can think of some objective measures, like household income, crime rates etc.
But what are your interests? Some love open landcapes and nature while others prefer urban areas with arts and culture e.g.

Best places to lay in wait for a powerful exiled preacher with enough space for a clear shot?
High school/elementary school quality, living costs, unemployment rate and salaries(for unqualified labour), crime rates
You can find all sorts of lists on Google. It doesn't get any more reliable than that unless you narrow down what the important factors for you are, as others have said.
If you are actually thinking about coming to live in the US, here's my advice as someone who has done it: don't. There are better countries to move to where it's easier to enter, quality of life/healthcare is better, and you don't necessarily need to have particular skill sets to make a living.
Edit: ninjaed me! Since you are asking specifically about unqualified labor, I reinforce my last point. There is no place in the US where unqualified labor allows you to make a good living. It's gotten so bad that many who live here are persuaded that people should not be able to make a living for anything that does not require a particular skill set.

I think Bilgesi's parents won the specifically American GC lottery, not the "move wherever you want" card 
But yes, it's not going to be a picnic as unskilled laborers.
For all of the states, there's FBI statistics, census.gov, Bureau of Labor Statistics for really raw data, but that's gigatons of data to sift through, if you/they have really no subjective preference to narrow it down. Most (all?) states will have their won crime and labor stats compiled by their respective departments and even big cities or metro areas will have their own. NYPD goes as far as letting you see a map with the location of each individual crime scene.
For healthcare, it's a cluster**** of federal, state and local programs. Massachusetts has famously(?) near universal coverage and the state pays for everything for people under certain income. NY City, not state, also has pretty generous programs for low income resident and I'm sure it's not the only one. But I don't where I would point you for some raw, aggregate data.

All of those push my current home, Charlotte, NC near the top of the list. Still one of the wealthiest cities in the US.
Oh right I forgot about that. Well, I would say that that is a trap, and to not fall for it. There will not be any opportunity waiting for them in the states that they couldn't find elsewhere, unless they have some special skills (and even then age might be a problem, depending on how old they are).
I did not come in on a lottery myself so it might be different for them, but I was made to sign up a piece of paper that states that I am not eligible for any form of government assistance, ever. So that is also something to be aware of (again, that might not necessarily be a thing for the lottery).

Wut. Do you have a copy of the form? What's its number?
