I suppose I’m fortunate that displaying oneself as trans in my country and state (US south) does not bring huge social opprobrium.

Interestingly, you’d be surprised who is trans and who is cis as it’s not like people have a sign over their head “I’m trans opprobriate me.”

So, in my city at least, it would be as simple as checking a box identifying as trans and no social stigma would even be possible. Unless the potential employer “outed” the applicant somehow. But that seems not only unethical but illegal (again, at least in my state).

Since I live in a prett backwoods area, I assume there are many other areas that are much better.

The south is weird like this. Some places it's great, some places you'd never know it was further in the future than 1959.

To be fair, in many rural places you don't want to fall out of the norm on any spectrum and there's no opportunity for practically anything.

That's why you move out.
