TLDR: Trans AMAB partner moving to sydney, probably needing to move further west at some point. Concerned about safety.

Hi all, Cis male here.

Currently working in Sydney and living in the Inner West.

My partner (Trans AMAB) lives out of town but will be joining me in sydney soon. I quite enjoy living in the Inner west as a renter and im sure my partner will.

We are fortunate to be in a position to buy a home, however can only afford further west. Im trying my best to find okay areas in budget but it hasnt been promising. The vast majority of suburbs in budget seem to be in places like liverpool, bankstown etc places that I know are not overly safe for trans people.

On the other hand im still relatively new to Sydney and im wondering if theres spots that are safe or atleast safe enough for outwardly queer presenting people that i may have overlooked.

Some input from people living in western sydney would be greatly appreciated.

Father past away last year. His missus is contesting his will.

Got a letter from her solicitor the day we were about to apply for probate after almost 10 months of silence from her.

Feeling a lot of anger and disgust toward her right now.

She claims there is a second will, however it was never signed by my father. Original signed will essentially states me and my brother split his estate evenly.

This bogus will states she is executor, and cuts my brother out completely whilst cutting me out with some BS that ill be included in her will when she passes. Like I give af about her estate.

In addition, she has my father's possession like his phone, laptop which she refuses to hand over. In her letter of demands she is referred to as my father's "marital spouse" despite being with my dad for only 2 and a half years and him having a lease on a separate house until his 6 months before he died.

How long is this shit going to go on for if it goes to court. She is completely delusional and believes she was the centre of his universe despite and will probably not accept any terms in mediation.

Feeling out of my depth, exhausted and sad.
