re: trans people in tech, you're a lot less likely to encounter some mouth breathing redneck in tech than in say, retail. If you do encounter a redneck and something bad happens employment wise you're a lot more likely to be able to do something about it as a sysadmin making a deece six figgies than a shelf stocker making low 5 figgies. my work experience has been entirely in retail and tech which colors this opinion but it def seems like a factor to me.

If you get the 997 ( the long one) get smaller than you think you need, after you wash it a few times it loosens up a lot

i bought one of those binders posted earlier and was going to post a trip report but i can't even get the thing on* so instead you get this lovely post
rip :20bux: i guess

*yes i followed the directions of pulling it up over my rear end which is apparently too mighty for it.

wash it, and dry it in the drier a few times. they loosen up. after you get it to where you can put it on, only wash it on cold and as infrequently as possible and always air dry.

to address another part of that anecdote, I've always been conflicted about what being trans means about stereotypes and stuff. like I liked computers ever since I was a little girl* and I was a girl when I went to college so I always felt some pride about representing women in tech and defying society's biases about what women are capable of. but then people tell me that I actually had a man brain all along so maybe I was never defying people's prejudices at all? and now I'm a dude at work at my computer job but sometimes I still catch myself thinking like "gently caress those neckbeards, I'm great at my job" then remembering no one really has those negative expectations of me anymore.

that all makes it sound really self centered and I'm not doing a good job of explaining it

*my experience was that I was a little girl that grew up to be a man, I personally, and with no judgement toward or implications about the preferences of others, don't mind thinking of pre-transition as "back when I was a girl."
