I need some help in my seaching.
I am currently studing on waitor-class and soon I need to seach jobs for being a waitor for my work experience periods.
I thought I want to go to another country at least some of my working time, the problem is I dont know how they feel of me being trans?
I got female in my passport, I got a female IDcard which really just a number on card (therefore it may in some country be seen unisex but in registration on fx the net say "female" due to the code)

beside that I dont really feel like going somewhere where I cant express myself or where Im not allow to say im transgender.
my look is rather androgyne, I have abit or beard (not much) I like to wear nailpolish earings or make up once in a while and such things who isnt considered very typical manly.

So, I need your help to figure out where to seach for a transfriendly place to work as a waitor. also it has to be a high qualety hotel or resturant because that in general where you learn the most, if you know a place where they also have waitor-students it can also be mention.

So if you live/have lived in a area please say:

1) which country/state and how the general threatment for transgender is in the country/area.
2) if theres discrimination law agenst gender identety or expression on working place.
3) is it in general hard or easy for transgender to get jobs without problems of being fired, discriminated or rejected work.
4) if you have any recomendation for hotel/resturents you know, to recomend.

if you have personal note about how the area is, how it was being on the resturant you recomend, how imigrents are threated or anything. btw. I cant go to US, neither countrys who is dangerous for GLBT people for obvious reasons.


thanks

I can speak for the Baltimore (Maryland, USA) area. Four counties in Maryland have anti-discrimination laws covering gender expression. Though anywhere in the US non-discrimination on the basis of gender expression is theoretically the law of the land, owing to a government ruling.

I imagine the restaurants in the area would be thrilled to have dependable waitstaff.

I don't know how immigrants here are treated. There are a lot of immigrants in this area, so you wouldn't seem out of place.

Of course you'd have to deal with the US Immigration and Naturalization Service, which will not discriminate, but is supposedly difficult to navigate.
