You are aware that if you came to the South, the whole town would treat you like a Frankenstein monster. You would literally not survive here.

is this supposed to be a damning critique of transgender identities or any sort of minorities they wouldn't like or the south itself

cake or cookies: which one would you give up forever if you had to?

Cookies, because you can have different textures and more range of flavor.

Cake gets boring.

I dont care for sweets much.

My region of the south is South Arkansas/East Texas. Wearing a wig and makeup to work would be a handicap like having a tattoo on your face. I don't know what kind of job is most trans friendly, but in the medical field, a lot of the older patients would be uncomfortable. Idiot bubbas aren't so much the problem as the political power of the Evangelical Church.

Im a Network Engineer who specializes in cyber defense and large scale infrastructure design/config/maintenance. I dont deal with the public. I also maintain a male ID and presentation in the workplace.

My being trans doesnt effect my career. I just havent found a workplace where I feel comfortable swapping over yet.

Oh, and im scary good at my job. Thats what matters.

Is it psychologically stressful to live a double-gendered life or is just not any worse than the separation between work and not-work and internet that normal functional human beings live with.

Its a pain hiding my chest and hips sometimes to fit in as a boy. Other than that im just living life. Stress is found within, not from outside influence.

How do people react when, in your male presentation, they notice your chest and hips and how do you handle it? Just not give a gently caress?

Sometimes they ask questions and I tell them that im transgender. The vast majority of the time people just stare and then move on and not care.

Ive been asked if im FtM before too.

Ive never had an issue except for drunk guys and crazy homeless people.

The important fact is that you don't have to work with a lot of different types of people. Can you imagine being 'The Transexual Dentist?' That would be a circus.

You strange person you.. asking me twice why anyone would move the South? Most of the people I tease about living here after all these years reply that this is where their family lives, and families always most important. I have no idea what about how transexuals fit into the equation and whatever.

frankenfurter comes in a bun, and those who keep it all in the family typically come from the south. htough hot dogs come in packsof ten, buns come in packs of eight, making it a game of musical buns.
