I just found out that one of the professors at my University is a transguy. He's well paid and has been here for a few years now. It's a relief for me, because I want to work in academia one day. From my understanding, a lot of higher education institutes are a little more accepting. Not all, of course, but I think it is also the nature of things. Universities tend to be a little more lax (at least, the not-private ones) and more accepting, given the fact that it serves as a place for conversation and for a lot of people a place of self-discovery.
