Much appreciated. I’m US based, but I travel a lot for work. It’s a blessing to have a wider perspective on gender roles, especially with so much of the journey now in the rear view mirror. AFAIK there’s no lower rung on the corporate ladder than a sad partially-baked trans person. Hormones are cheap but a remote tech job with a decent salary can make a transition affordable without jeopardizing your career, socioeconomic trends withstanding.
Sadly there are many ways to experience negative social expectations at work. Several of my formerly heavy-set colleagues have observed the perception of their competence being a result of their weight loss. Most of the cis men I know use a combination of testosterone, Ozempic, hair plugs, lifts in their shoes, etc.
I don’t blame them; Perception is everything.
- kragen 2y agoThat's interesting! What are the most notable aspects of gender-role variation you've observed across cultures as it affects your own job?
