Generally, it's widely know how transphobic people are and how it's that much harder for trans people to get jobs because of it. This is not the greatest article on the subject but I do think its relevant that articles such as this one are being written in the Atlantic.

As a transman, I can empathize with some of the feelings and observations of the transwomen in this article, especially the parts about having your inner life and outer life in harmony. “Authenticity resonates,” said Michaela Mendelsohn, the CEO of Los Angeles’s Pollo West Corp., one of the largest franchisees for the fast-food empire El Pollo Loco. “Finding my voice as a woman gave me new strength, and now I get more respect than I did as Michael,” Mendelsohn said. It’s not about being a man or a woman; it’s about “integrating as one whole person.”
