Hi my name is Jennifer and I am a M/F transexual and have been living full time since October of last year. I recently lost my job and am having a hard time getting a new one. I pass fine so I am unsure of what the problem is. If anyone has any ideas or has had the same problem and solved it I am open to any help I can get.

Thanks Jenny12lc

Hi Jennifer,

I really don't have much advice to offer. Right now I am not full time, and probably will not be for another two years.

I will tell you that I am currently researching some possible ideas on what types of jobs/careers to pursue once I do go full time.

Some possibilities I am currently looking at are going to school and learning how to do makeup and nails as one possible profession.

Some other things I'm also looking at include going to school and taking a course on medical coding so I can possibly work out of the home doing medical billing on my computer, and maybe doing some ebay outside of that.

Most women have trouble getting jobs, period, unless it's a female dominated job like hairdresser, escort, or bank teller. It depends on what field you're looking into for jobs. Also, America's recent recession isn't helping.

Been a bit since my last post, but this is a good one that I cant pass up....

It probably has little to do with you or women in general. Speaking from my coursework and what I am presently doing a large research project on, the economy is flat out in the crapper right now. Every month at least 70,000 jobs are LOST due to the recession. Certain areas has had it worse than others, but as a whole... there are just too few dollars chasing too many goods at the moment. The good things is, if you can manage to get a loan in these times for school or a home, your interest rates will almost permanently be ridiculously low. You may want to start looking for temp. work in areas that are for the most part recession proof, such as medical or gov. work. (By medical, it can be anything from a brain surgeon to a file clerk at the hospital)

On a whole, look for this trend to continue over the next couple of years... and pray it swings back because this is a bad one.

...and i heard this from business folks a lot older than me, but when the economy sucks, it's the best time to find something to sell. Like Brooke said, you'll have a low low interest rate. :P

You'll find one sooner or later. Just keep on trying hard ^^

I may or may not be able to help, But there is a very big need for Truck Drivers, I dont know if you would sound appeling to any one or not but. I have been in this field for about 8 years. And bring home about 30,000 to 40,000 a year.

I came out to my boss and I got the This job is this and this job is that and This is the Dress code, and I told him that I have been in this field for about 8 years and I know the dress code. I have been living full time for 7 mts. but the only problem that I have is that everyone knows but they will not call me by the right name. They call me by my male name and it drives me nuts, it is something that I put up with.

I am looking for a fresh start with a company that will address me right.

      I don't use it.   One of my daughters gave me a little to experiment with, but I haven't.  My youngest tried to put some on me once, but I din't like it.  The light was pretty bad admittedly. My ex didn't use it, and my daughters didn't use it much either when they were still at home.  (If so it was very subtle) And I don't often notice it on women my age (mid 70's)   I shave every day.  But my beard is not heavy, and essentially grey, so it's not real noticeable unless you get close with good light.  I was starting to look into electrolysis, but the pandemic hit, and I just kinda dropped it.   Sometimes I do wonder about it though.

      It's something I'm just learning but I find I actually enjoy the 'craft' of it in addition to how it makes me look. Even after a fresh shave, I have a mild 5'clock shadow. For me, the primary use of makeup is to get rid of that. I'll start with the orange concealer over facial hair areas and a bit under my eyes. Liquid foundation over that and light concealer used judiciously over that (still dialing that part in). Then just a tad of powder to bring color back in certain places. There are a number of Youtube tutorials on that layering process.    I'll also pencil in my eyebrows a bit since they're blonde and otherwise not very visible. Sometimes I'll get adventurous and give mascara a try but that's a delicate skill and usually I mess it up. I don't particularly like lipstick, but just ordered a 'lip pencil' to experiment with. Hoping for a more subtle effect.

      Sunday is my weekly ablution day - all of the parts that need occasional shaving get their required attention. The weather is rainy and cool today so after the ablutions and shower, I put on blue jeans, a gray t-shirt and a black front-zip hoodie along with gray sneakers.   And, I did put on make-up, not to impress anyone but just to feel as if I'm looking my best....as good as that can be given this woman is now 69 years old.

      There are lots of us here willing to offer support, ideas, a shoulder or just a smile. Working with your therapist and finding your true self can be difficult process...but it will also be filled with wonder and joy as you discover that person who's been waiting inside you to be found.   Just know that you are not alone.

      Thank you KayC!  I am just trying to keep breathing. I don't have a huge amount of time in my life for self exploration.  My job and responsibilities have me second guessing all my inner work.  I do have time off in the summer - coming up soon as I am a teacher.  Only a few workshops.  Looking forward ward to some introspection.     :) Mealaini

      Yes, essentially. As Julia Serano says, they view trans outcomes as intrinsically worse than cis outcomes.

      I used to but now its just lip gloss every now and then, in a subdued tone.
    • Ivy
      Yeah, a lot of times I don't really have anything to add to the conversation. There are some threads I seldom post on.
    • Ivy
      I have seen some things about this.  As I remember it was not very trans-friendly. The people doing these things seem to minimize the positive aspects of transition, and maximize the potential problems. Basically, make it as difficult as possible (without outright banning it) to discourage anyone from doing it.

      Good morning    woke up to some light rain this morning.  Maybe I should run out with a giant umbrella to cover the car.   Ha ha ha.     I’ve had really nice cars before but never something like this.     @KymmieL I hope you got to go on your ride. Back when I had my Harley we went out for a ride almost every weekend. We would head either SW down the Shenandoah Valley or Skyline Drive which danced along the tops of the Mountains or we would head west into West Virginia and just travel along until it was time to find our way home.   occasionally I wish I still had a bike but I usually quickly for get that. The only thing I ever wanted as a young person that I never had was a late 50s vette.
