Not saying that I want to go full-corpo, but the idea of getting ahead in a career is really appealing to me. I feel stuck in my job I have now because there’s not much chance of advancement and the hours are really inconsistent. I’ve been considering going back to college to pursue something that would allow me to have a stable income. To tell you the truth, I’m jealous of the memes about trans girls being software engineers. I want to be one too. I would definitely make a lot more than I’m making right now. It’s also the job my dad has, and I was curious about what it would be like as a career when I was younger. All the layoffs were really what scared me away from it, but I’m not in a much better situation right now. I just don’t really know of any trans guys that are in professional positions like that. I don’t know if there’s a reason for it, or if the guys that do get ahead like that just go stealth.

You know–I just encountered this. Lots of queer folks of various types in healthcare!
I’ve been visiting a lot of doctors since I broke my foot. At one foot dr, the nurse tried to set me up with her (seemingly lesbian, and also a nurse) daughter, which was kind of hilarious because I’m a trans guy but not into girls, I just look dyke/butch.
And at the OTHER foot doctor (I got a second opinion on my broken bones), one of the nurses was a trans dude. He hadn’t been on T long enough to drop his voice, or wasn’t lucky enough to get much of a drop on T, but otherwise was stealth. I only noticed because running into other trans folks with good jobs gets me excited and I was like–wait, is he trans? It’s so hard to tell, but I think he is. Oh wow, you can be trans in THIS state and do THIS job? How cool is that?
