I’ve started the process of getting certified as a teacher in Pennsylvania. I am hoping to get a job teaching there next school year (or maybe earlier, but I don’t think I’ll be able to save enough to move/break my lease).

I would like to work at an urban, high need/title 1 school teaching math or science. I am a stealth trans man - I pass very well, but need to be in a place where being “outed” would not be dangerous or problematic. Which places would be safe?

My dream location would be some place where I can live in a cheap studio apartment and take public transport to get to work. Selling my car is part of my plan to raise the funds to move. I’d like to live in a place close to “gay” stuff, if that makes sense.

What parts of Philly should I be looking at?
