As far as obtaining the information goes, I would look into liberal arts colleges which have historically been considered extremely liberal as these are most likely to have what you’re looking for. Then google “name of college + factor you’re considering”. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email either the LGBT organization(s) on campus, or the admissions office.

I’ve spoken with the director of my school’s Women’s Outreach Center (also handles LGBT issues) quite a few times. He regularly fields calls and emails from prospective students concerned about if and how they can be LGBT on campus. A few times he’s outright advised students, typically gender queer/ trans, not to come to the university if they have more accepting options. Assuming he’s not the only honest director in the country, you should expect the people in these positions to be open to discussing challenges trans students face.
