Great show. A shame that it is not shown in its entirety.

Discrimination is greatly affecting my ability to get a job. I don't know what to do. Whenever I get a job interview and they realize I am "male" on paper (showing up to an interview passing as a woman and being male on paper) they come up with the excuses that the position has been filled or I don't have enough experience (even though I've had 4 jobs that worked out well before I transitioned). It really sucks, I wish society would judge me for my merits and personality and nothing else.

@metalfaust19 I have been afrade to transition myself because of that exact fact. I am a transgenderist not a transexual but it is close enough. We all have the same porblem. I feel I could probubly keep my job where I am now though. My co workers know and except for 1 have no problem with me being how I am and a couple of them have actualy sugested I transition. I have shown pics to them and they even think I look better as a woman than I do as a man. I would be offended if I did not agree lol

@metalfaust19 of course my direct boss took me aside and told me to exercise caution in showing poics as he would hate to see me get insalted or worse by a co worker and told me if that happens to tell him wather it bothers me or not.

In most cases transgender ppl change just half of the life issue and habits!

How ironic hat you named yourself Nancy. considering its the slang term for homo/sissy boys.

[bevdems]

@sandipaaaaaa Yes, I enjoy that bit of irony, though it was incidental, not intentional.

Also one being TG/ MTF they soo heavily stigmatized & get a Bad wrap from the rest of a Largely Homophobic society they will never get the choices nor opportunities that a non-TG will have , I've told Homophobic employers to go to hell before I can smell there lies a moile away , I pray that change will happen for others , It sucks , but it a fact , you gotta take into account when dealing with or looking for employment any place . best wishes to Y'all !!!

Thank you , ones gender is such a very basic right to life , bottom line is this tho, Transgender folks need bill's & laws pased to protect them from employers discrimination indeed , but most employers & HR firms will remain to keep TG's as a taboo , employers only see TG's as a law-suit waiting to happen , soo they will just say like : sorry that position has been filled , or some other lame excuse , odd's are in their favor of the next canidate 4 job NOT being Transgender's. all math !!!
