I think this is great. I have been doing a little of distance work, and oh, how much of a help it is. I can work without any pressure other than the actual work. Putting aside the fact that I'm really bad at job interviews, I don't think I would be able to work as male, primarily because being seen as male is very depressing to me, but also because I'm less and less credible as male (I wasn't that much to begin with, so)...
The in-between stage, i.e. from when you begin having noticeable breasts before full-time to the first months or one year after full-time... It's a painful stage. If i could get away from part of it by doing distance things, it would be a great help. After a bit of being full-time when you're somewhat confident with your passing, of course, you'll need to "immerge" yourself... But who said you had to go through the painful in-between stage? It doesn't serve much of a purpose, does it? If you can go around it, then why not take that chance?
