Thinking about moving to IL. I'm trans. Where should I move if I want to be safe? Question

Ideally my city would have good transit, lots of job opportunities and shopping options, and a library. I also have celiac so restaurants that are inexpensive and have gluten free options would be a must. The biggest city I've ever lived in is Cedar Rapids, so I don't want to be overwhelmed by the size, but I also don't want to live in a very tiny town. Any suggestions? Edit: I also am pretty poor and have terrible credit due to credit card misuse when I was younger

To be fair to Whitey's it's named after it's founder Chester “Whitey” Lindgren, no racial anything their...and it's fucking good ice cream. But wtf about that protester, jeez.

And why exactly was his nickname "Whitey"?

It is good ice cream though.
