[quote=Gaia][quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't think you've addressed this yet: now that you are able to fully present yourself as female, can you speak to the differences in how you are treated by others? Do people talk to you differently than when they perceived you as a man? Treat you differently? (Not people who have known you all along-- your colleagues, random people at stores, etc.)[/quote] I am interrupted so much more as a woman. I'm not taken as seriously. Before, my thoughts and opinions weren't questioned and now, I feel like I'm under constant scrutiny. This is especially true when it comes to politics or STEM related topics. I can show emotion now when before, I always had to remain stoic or risk being told to "man up". I make less money than I used to. I changed jobs and moved to a new city after I transitioned, so I don't know if it was a CoL adjustment, my new company having less funds to work with or what, but my wallet is definitely lighter now.
