Note that this is for one state, while none of the anecdotes presented have given their location. Can we try again in every state, then?

My guess: Jello means that it was a prejudice issue that came up due to being in a very in-between phase of transitioning, such that the transitioning was noticeable.

Hate to say it but that usually indicates something like “sometimes people have a problem with us (this particular group of women) so you’d better not.” I wonder if they were exceptionally clique-ish or something.

My father-in-law was an abusive POS to his family (and still can be emotionally abusive at times) and managed to inflict Stockholm Syndrome on some of them, such that they will reflexively side with him out of fear. When one of the worst sufferers of it managed to break out of that, she basically cut off contact with…

Agreed that there might be more specific regional ones, or specific company-specific (or State-of-X/City-of-X specific policies/laws for hiring for government jobs) but for any random anecdote people can’t just automatically declare it illegal. Shady as hell, possibly; definitely stupid.
