There is no cookie cutter solution to gender and body identification. I do not belong in the body I have. I want to remove my breasts permanently, but fear that even after surgery People will not accept me. That I couldnt be a woman, but I will also never be a real man. People are so judgmental (especially in my field) that it would also crush any credibility in my career path.
Transitioning is so glorified, and sure its right for some, but society is still not truly accepting of it yet.
Broadcast Engineering. A woman in a man’s field. I have lost out on so many job offers because those men are still misogynistic.
They give me the runaround for weeks, and then I find out that they hire someone else who physically cannot do parts of the job, in less than a weeks worth of consideration.
Let the natural selection of bias vs capitalism take its hold. Companys that refuse to have any diversity represented tend to have a harder time selling thier services to those of other diverse backgrounds than the company. Leading to boycotts and the eventual switching to letting everyone in because of capitalism.
I wish that were the case for my current company. I work in a different sector, but applied for the ENG position via a recommendation from a colleague (a friend who went through same school training with me). Lesson learned.
Your bone structure in your face is also a massive give away. Mental disorders are not attractive in any society. Hard truth is that life sometimes fucks up our brains from the get go.
To change yourself into what you want doesnt mean you can force change in the rest of societies minds. If anything forcing it ingraines hatred. If it took 100 years for african americans to go from the slave caste to regular people for just the color of their skin and are 13% of the population, imagine how long it's going to take for a rare mental disorder to work it's way into mainstream society without forcing it that makes it worse.
How does facial structure correlate to mental health? I agree that sometimes body dysmorphia is a mental issue , like people who think they are fat but are in fact really anorexic, but sometimes people who successfully transition are happy after. They are not sick.
Key word there "sometimes" theres a majority that ain't happy afterwards and most often than not kill themselves.
As for the bone stucture argument. Humans have sexual characteristics such as male bone structure being thicker. This leads to more pronounced features on the face. You got to look past the half centimeter of skin and muscle.
Might be off by a few percentage points but the original point still stands. How long did it take for a very common person to become ingrained in society? It was a slow progression and slow progression is the only way to bring change. Let the racists die off by old age and shun the new ones. But actively forcing those to change will cause the inverse.
For trans people to still feel bad after switching genders?

I don’t. Not all men who are broadcast eng’s are, but a lot of the older generation still are.

Are you sure about those statistics? I'm pretty sure a larger majority is African American.
