i thought i had aspergers but it turned out I was actually transgendered. im willing to bet that the number of transgender population is a lot higher. unabomber was also diagnosed to be transgender using modern definition. my theory is ted bundy was also a transgender. there exists a sort of misogynistic jealousy towardsthe opposite sex but he is an extreme and rarely example along with unabomber. people who are transgender are literally in a constant state of mental anguish. then you have normies and the social structure which is tilted to hetrosexual cis-gender populace. i only found out i was transgender after decades of denial. its important to never lie to yourself. its amazing how much you can trick yourself in to believing in the image that those around you have set. screaming someone misgendered you won't do jack shit. as a transwoman my career options are now prostitution, pornography, and the drug trade but probably will be overlaps.

I've seen firsthand how shitty things can be for trans people. I'm sorry. I hope you can find a support system that meets your needs. > i thought i had aspergers but it turned out I was actually transgendered. Is it possible that you're trans and Asperger's? There's research suggesting that they appear together more often than chance would suggest. It would explain the surprising frequency of trans people in tech fields, as well. Anecdotally, three of the four trans people I'm close to are diagnosed ASD, and I have my suspicions about the fourth.

    My point is that you don't have any standing to claim that, and you're probably wrong. Given how many hoops the medical establishment makes trans people jump through to "prove" that they're really trans and need treatment, I'd think you'd be more sympathetic.

      > Given how many hoops the medical establishment makes trans people jump through to "prove" that they're really trans and need treatment There's not a lot of hoops to jump through as an adult in Canada. You can simply find a therapist and ask for an informed consent form. Sign it and you get access to Hormone replacement therapy. The gender marker change is even easier, all you need is to fill a form that you can order at anytime for $140. On that form you write your new name and correct gender. Then, you only need someone else to sign under oath with you.

I'm not sure if this is a bait or not... > i thought i had aspergers but it turned out I was actually transgendered. As a trans woman, I must say that I am confused as to how you might mix up those two. The symptoms are really different. Those are not exclusive either. > people who are transgender are literally in a constant state of mental anguish Only until you get therapy and treatment. Once my gender dysphoria was under control, I was free of any negative mental health issues related to being transgender. > as a transwoman my career options are now prostitution, pornography, and the drug trade but probably will be overlaps. Nope, still working in STEM. I know quite a few trans programmers.

  transwomen's individual lives differ drastically good on you that you are in STEM I was in STEM but being transgender excluded me. Trans people are treated like freaks. As far as I know, I don't exist. I am fine with this. but it irks me when ppl humble brag

    Well, as far as I can gather from your posting history you are from Vancouver. I know several people from western Canada that live openly trans and work without any issues. Don't give up because of a handful of bad employers and some bad experiences. They added protection to the B.C. Human Rights Code in 2016 and there are a lot of protections Canada wide. This is not an humble brag, this is your rights. You have the right to work in any field you want. In STEM we even have the opportunity to work remotely, which helps if you are too uncomfortable to be out in public.

      every fucking position i applied to i was turned down because it had 'client facing roles' I even said i would use my male voice on the phone because I don't wanna weird people out This was an issue also at my old job. I feel that I wasted a decade in the tech industry, mostly startups. now im in my early 30s, im totally fucked. i think lot of pornstars do it just so they can prostitute themselves. Vancouver has social liberal rights with none of it actually respected by the population. theres still the old judeo-christian ethics along with sino ethics which make it way worse. I'm considered a freak and will be so . Society doesn't want to see me, or acknowledge me. what options are there for me? what options are there for the negroes in detroit ghetto? what options are there for people who are completely shunned and unwanted by mainstream society and even family and friends? Fuck you. You haven't walked in my shoes.
