Employment Issues - I just want to be real

[ji.aaaa]

Is it really hard to find a job when you are transitioning? i mean do you know guys any place/country where being trans is very welcome . right now, im into job hunting and i just cant get over the fact that i need to cut my hair short first and go back to dressing as a man. im just tired about it,

SO guys can u give atleast list of countries where foreigners are welcome to apply and yea, its good to be real . a place where i can present myself who i really am. im in the field of hotel and restaurant mgmt.anyways ) Xoxo

It's very conservative around here and there are almost zero workplace protections for trans* people so you can be fired for being trans* and can't really do anything about it. There is a huge group of people working on fixing that, but it might be awhile yet. There are pockets of awesomeness though, especially in the college/uni towns and cities. The city I live in is home to two large universities and is quite liberal and accepting. If you decide on the US maybe think about moving to a location with a big college/uni. 

OHH too bad abt dat. dats wat im talkin abt wherein they want u to push backwards again. so is it better if i in anycase moved to a bigcol. or uni ,?

don't cut your hair! look for a regular job, that treats everyone as equal. You dont have to look specifically for a trans-friendly job

good luck!

I work in retail right now at lowes, they don't really care, but I'm more so worried about when I finish classes up at college and try to go into the accounting field for my major, that might be a pain, since my name hasn't been legally changed yet, depends on what your looking for job wise

Now I work in gaming (gamblin). There where no problems loved every minute of it. The hours where sometimes a pain but you would understand that. As long as I kept myself neat and tidy my hair length was ignored
