      It’s a play on the joke that everybody hates living in Ohio. I have never lived there but I can confirm that everyone I’ve ever met who has been there has the same reaction

        I go there for the theme parks every once in a blue moon and literally nothing else. I’ve never seen an interesting looking town when driving through. It’s like every town is a stop outside a bigger city that isn’t there. Even the “big” cities never really feel bigger than a typical random American town.

        Of course when you’re actually there it’s not that exaggerated, but this is the vibe I get from the state. But it’s not like any of the surrounding states have wildly positive reputations to compare against. So at the end of the day, it’s just a very unremarkable state with not much to do. There are worse reputations.

            I visited Cincinnati many years ago for work and found it to be a surprisingly beautiful hilly city with some interesting views in spots.

              Did the river there catch on fire? More than once?

      They’re trying to imply it means trans people belong in Ohio and not anywhere else
