My (mostly uneducated) guess based on some blurbs I've read a while ago would be that while they're probably not being actively persecuted by the state they don't have much of a legal framework to work with and culturally it probably isn't well accepted.
There have never been any laws against LGBTQ people in DPRK, but there isn't much awareness of it culturally, and sexuality/gender in general (including heterosexuality) is still quite a taboo topic.
Given that NK is controlled by boomers, I'd be pleasantly surprised if they're good on trans rights.
Is there even information on how lgbt rights are there?

I feel like I read around here it was generally "acceptable" but to be perfectly honest I have no idea.
