Day Twenty Two: Do you feel being trans holds you back from your career choice

No way. Not in any way, shape, or form.  Potential employers honestly don’t know what to do with my matter-of-fact way of being out most of the time.  Either they jump on board with me, and become an advocate themselves, or they give me free rein to be myself.  I don’t give them any other choices haha

I’m going into social services, so the field innately is rather liberal and open-minded.  So my field doesn’t have any pushback inherently, my only concern is with employers individually, but as stated above, I don’t let that stop me.
