I think that's a good idea. I'm going to do it right now. I live in a deep red state, but live in a city where I have refuge from all the recent bullshit. I've been denied from a lot of women's centers around here and that's made me really dysphoric, but I think it's worth giving more effort again.
Yeah womens centers are really hit or miss. Lesbian/gay bars are also an option if you are comfortable with it, but it is a bit difficult to make connections on the spot there. Also, sometimes orgs post more on Instagram or Facebook, so you might want to check those too.
Sucks to say it but a lot of women's spaces are actually just for people who were AFAB and are sufficiently femme presenting.
If I were in your shoes I'd avoid those spaces unless they are explicitly in support of trans people (e.g. displaying the trans flag on their site, having trans speakers or specific trans events, an organiser tells you that they are etc.)
I really hate that the queer community still hasn't sorted itself out with regards to cishet normativity.
