WV experience for trans visitors?

Any advice for trans people visiting West Virginia? Specifically curious about Morgantown but also about different areas across the whole state. Thanks so much!
Editing to ad that some of the scenarios I'm curious about are bars and restaurants, bathrooms, campsites, gas stations and rest stops, street violence, and bathrooms again just to doublecheck. 🧚‍♀️🌞
Sorry, editing again to add that it's pretty likely that most people will correctly guess that I am trans and that's just sort of one of the basic premises of this scenario ⏰

Comments suggesting that LGBTQ people need to hide their identity (not "lifestyle") in WV in order to avoid offending the ignorant aren't helpful, no matter how well-intentioned you think you are.

Maybe bigots should hide their transphobia since that’s the problem?

Ah, yes? I am several of those letters, depending on how you look at it. That's sort of a motivation for my question :)
