Jet,
Can I ask where you live? What state?
Employment is the toughest issue for transfolks. The gender identity clause in many places is merely lip service.
I seriously would NOT come out as trans at an interview. I've done it, and I won't do it again.
If you come out at an interview, and you don't get hired, there's nothing you can do about it.
If you ensure you have the job first, and they fire you when you come out, you will be able to cover your ass better.
Since deciding to transition, I have been an many job interviews (after losing my job the day after coming out as trans).
Before I applied anywhere, though, I would look into what my city, county, and state have to say about gender identity, so I know what companies are 'supposed to' abide by.
