Well Australia has strong anti-discrimination law so I feel fairly safe, but that said there was a not very subtle attempt by one very senior person of my organisation to 'limit' my career. However once I found out about it and reported it that person was dealt with very harshly.
Work wise I feel I am more powerful and respected than 'he' was, partially because having dealt with my problems I am more capable of dealing with my rather high pressure position. My self confidence is also very high and I am happy, two character traits that tend to overcome most obstacles.
There is a factor in this that isn't always understood, high paid jobs, and yes I am one of a few people on six figures, are extremely competitive. There is very little forgiveness and your colleagues are looking for ways to advance themselves, and you are the person in the way, if there is a perceived weakness that someone can exploit, they will. There are few women in my organisation at my level, and I am very well acquainted with the only trans*person at that level
. I use that to my advantage, someone else may find that type of pressure and publicity difficult to cope with.
That said if I detransitioned (not something that will happen) I would expect to be slaughtered.
