Like
Massachusetts or Connecticut, you can only marry but still be fired
for being who you are. As Bishop Robinson said, you're whole people,
whole citizens – just not free to work in the Live Free Or Die state.
And no, if you have no ability to be hired and end up homeless, you
can't live FOR free there. Of course you do have the right to die
there and they likely won't have much problem with that. It's the
latter option in their motto, and we trans people certainly aren't
free to work in New Hampshire.
Boy..... did I run into this one. It took years to shake the background check that companies do. I was confronted with it on one job and I did not deny it. They did hire me but from day one, it was very clear that my days were numbered there. I figure that they hired me just to prevent a law suit (since I was very qualified for the job and this gender thing did come up in the interview).
In any case, over the course of a few years, people tend to forget these things. You get to know new people. Sooner or later, the issue sort of just goes away.
