So what happens if I was to fully transition and live as a woman…I get killed or beat up in a restroom, I prefer single stall or if no single stall I use the mens quickly and get out. People walk by me look me up and down and tell me “what I am”. I have no idea who these people are. It’s so awkward now it’s not even funny. Basically my only option is move and I was told to ignore it….

They think I “represent” them. And the way I am now is “not how you are supposed to do it”…Literally have heard that one too. Another time I was at a grocery store here my cashier was trans as well as I walked away “you need to go back and be a “man”….really? She should mind her business….she wouldn’t like it if someone said that to her. I lost my last job because of this. I heard multiple people in management discussing my current appearance and saying “yeah we have to get rid of this guy”…I told hR and they did nothing because it’s hearsay…

That’s awful and really tough. That’s a big city so I imagine there are only select places where you have to experience this? Are there maybe just specific places you might avoid?

Here’s the problem the LGBT community is pretty big and reaches into regular society. So if they don’t “do you” it will eventually cause the hetro community to avoid you to. I work at an Amazon facility here and believe me the the trans numbers there are HUGE! Because Amazon has great trans benefits. Day one at this place they were on me to…
