    I hope this expands to the rest of the country. It’s one reason I won’t travel to see my family anymore or visit some of my friends or my favorite vacation spots. I don’t want to have to go home every time I need to pee. Even without laws, the danger is still there in most of the country outside of major cities. I even had bottom surgery and so the state changed my birth certificate gender, but even cis-women who have masculine facial traits are sometimes attacked or thrown out of businesses, even in rural areas of otherwise “blue” states. It’s insane. Maybe once I get facial feminization, but that wait-list is long.

    I kind of wish they hadn’t used Google Maps, but at least you don’t have to authenticate.

    IMO it would be better if they’d leverage existing or new tags on OpenStreetMap so the data is open and not subject to the whims of Google and the map owner. It’s still good to see community efforts to help people, though, and it’s easier to criticize than act.
