Depends. Vancouver is one of the most queer and specifically trans inclusive places in the world at present. Culturally speaking there aren’t a lot of places where a lot of queer accommodation is almost mainstream. Gender neutral bathrooms are becoming wider spread with segregated bathrooms often including signage specifically welcoming trans people. Our informed consent system for trans healthcare is something the UK trans folk have been envious of for years on years and there is a current practice of trans acceptance in schools and vibrant villiage dating scenes that take trans acceptance as a mission.
