I certainly have parents that don't approve of my transness....but I think that's fairly common, sadly. I'm always a bit envious of the trannies that have uber supportive parents that show up during gay pride marches and drive their tranny kids to their shot clinic appointments and shit. :/ MEH ( ... )

hang in there theo.

A few ideas. If you have a computer, there are jobs you can get on the internet. Check out elance.com for just one such possibile place to find work.

You can contact a group like Gender PAC or such if you want to pursue the place that turned you away because you're trans. I'm not sure what the laws are like in NYC right now around this, but I do know there are trans gropus in and near NY that would probably have suggestions for how you can handle it at the very least.

Hang in there dude.

I've had a hell of a time with finding work cause of my trans id. It's crazy. Thus I'm a heavy set person to go along with that, so there's also bias in the corner as well. Hang in there, keep searching around. Like the poster above me said, trans groups in your area, and the internet. I've done some online survey stuff, but it just doesn't pay out as promised. Fast food joints are a possibility, if you're willing to accept min. wage. Stick to the national chains tho, and do some internet research on each place you apply to beforehand. Most have websites, that if you search hard enouigh, can locate a non-discrimination statement.
