1) I worked construction for a while and many if not most of the men I worked with were almost cliché’s. They were so ignorant hateful and stupid. Worse still they were misogynistic, womanizing, ignorant, hateful, stupid, pigs and I say that from the point of view of someone they dIdn’t specifically dislike. I could not imagine the suffering I would go through if I were to attempt to work with them after I had transitioned. Ok so the odds of me even thinking about taking on a job in construction after I started transitioning are tiny, but that is just one (extreme) example of the difficulties one of us would/could have in finding a job. My question is, what types of jobs are most glamorous for transsexuals and which of those have a good history of being positive influences?
2) I like sports and recreational fitness. I want to learn to rock climb and play the drums. When I’m dripping with sweat and covered in dirt I am at my happiest. Does that make me a bad transsexual candidate? I know being a transsexual only changes the outside to fit the inside, and I suppose I just don’t have much exposure to people in the trans community. There are plenty of girls that like hiking and outdoor activities so I can’t imagine the answer is no, but it just feels like I would get some really bizarre looks from people including my peers if they heard that I want to run in a marathon or sky dive. More specifically, would this desire of mine make my psychiatrist turn me down for srs or hormones? Also does anyone else share my tastes and have you pursued them post-transition? What are your impressions? Or if you didn’t why not?
3) I took my face off of my MSN messenger profile recently because the girls on my friends list looks so gorgeous that I am a bit jealous and because their beauty scares me. Jealousy coming from the fact that they have done it, plus they seem so happy. Fear because I don’t know how I will compare. If they are the goal then I have very little wiggle room. Is it normal to feel this way? Does everyone feel this way? I wish I could be more confident in myself! Lol, even my sister sounds like this when she looks at other girls so I suppose it can’t be that uncommon.
