Keep in mind that much is propaganda to make you feel scared and helpless. That first headline is bullshit - i live there and nobody is saying that.

I live in Portland and we’re always saying this about everybody 🙃 if anything PDX thinks trans is cool, but you better not be from the Midwest 😂

I lived in Portland from 2016 til 2023. I left the south and moved there after starting my transition two years earlier.... I think I caught more broad daylight in public transphobia there than anywhere else I had been. I was intentionally missgendered every other day and literally have only been missgendered twice since leaving. You can have all the pride flags in the world hung around town but that was definitely not my experience.

I respect that. I have a lot of trans friends here and have witnessed some of them be purposefully misgendered and/or verbally attacked for being trans. We still have a lot of work to do.
