In the US, a lot of black TIMs are gay boys & men born & raised in the South who come from very conservative & homophobic Christian households & communities, often very small towns and rural areas. Those who have the money & wherewithal to leave tend to migrate to urban areas elsewhere in the south, such as in Florida, or to cities in the north like NYC or LA. The Jacksonville & Miami areas in Florida, as well as Dallas and Houston Texas, are just a few of the places in the US South that come to mind that are known to have sizable contingents of black TIMs.

This black TIM's journey from Georgia to NYC shows a typical TIM migration pattern: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/13/us/kricket-nimmons-transgender-surgery.html
