    Having own life and living it however you want is more important than living life of another person just because society forces you to do so.

      Yeah but also I’m close enough to being federally employed that I night get fired if I do.

      I dream of our investors falling into shit covered spike pits daily.

        the way i solved this was on my job hunt i applied under my new name and pronouns and mentioned in like the third sentence that its not my original but preferred way of being called, so they know right away.

        it serves as a asshole filter, but makes job hunt even harder of course

            Part of it is Trans blindness, but also people are just terrible at noticing shit that changes slowly. I lost a third of my body weight over a couple years and literally no one at my in office job noticed.
