Hi, Dora,
Thank you. Yes, that's the real me. Well, at least one photo at one point of the real me.
No, I don't get "read" much. So far we have only had to apply for one apartment (Philly suburb) & they inteviewed both my partner and myself three years ago. Nothing of a trans nature came up. And, quite seriously, I doubt it would have. At that time the mgr was in the habit of flying a rainbow flag at the office in support of her sister, a lesbian.
But, I'd also be a bit leery of moving back to TN anywhere but Nashville. Of course, the humidty & heat there from March to November keeps me from even thinking of that at this point.
Anywhere we moved I think we'd both want to be sure there was no problem with the "lesbian-thang." We seems to worry more about that in our journeys than anything else. Of course, even then we have maybe less problem than some as we are both femme-dykes & in that way, provided we aren't showing public affection probably not much of a worry either.
Still, I'm glad you've done research. I think people should when they belong to a minority group. Just makes good sense. No one wants the enjoyment of their life marred by nastiness from the neighbors or landlady/lord.
Hope you enjoy Colorado. And yes, I'm sure not all is fantastic there; but the ways the news and the police have handled the Angie Zapata horror certainly sounds promising when you add that to the legal protections that the state enforces now.
Betcha all goes well for you.
O, judging from your avatar I just really doubt you'll get the "man-in-dress-prejudice" either.
Hugs,
Nichole
