I had not looked into that. There actually is a hackerspace however the rates for membership are $60 per month[1]. The discounted rates don't seem to apply to her situation. [2] It is not obvious whether that space even would be trans friendly. I can see if i can reach someone from there to get a vibe or an idea.

One would think so naively. I am working towards trying to help her find a job. I have not been at it for long. If you have some insight where i might help her find a basic job making use of her embedded/backend C, C++ skills developing cross platform {Linux, Windows} x {ARM, x86_64} emulator writing tools which work as library and as application with integrated LUA interpreters i would be thankful. It doesn't have to be that specific but that might give people an idea what flame she is cooking with.

It’s probably safe to assume most places are “trans friendly” these days — nobody wants the twitter mob[0] after them for <whatever>.

[0] Is that even a thing anymore or did all the dogpilers move to a more “friendly” place?

—edit—

And before I get dogpiled I should say that I mean regular people don’t care not politically motivated health care debates like in other comments.
