Several women here have more or less finished their transition, I am one of them (that i now want to get under the knife again was a separate decision).
drng my day to day life, it is of no importance that I used to live as a man. I don't get misgendered because nature was friendly to me and did not cause man male characteristic to my body, and now that my voice is almost back, I am not misgendered anymore on the phone either.
However, I am not working anymore, and have a marginal idea only how my working life would have been. This morning I had the first oil change ever with my new Subaru, and coming to the dealership they automatically assigned a female service advisor to me. Society sees me as a female, and my legal documentation confirms this.
However, I found also that I lost all of my male privilege, and some people seem to want to try me like this little dumb old lady. During my male life, i had never used my doctorate title in private life, it was not needed, being a with it looking guy was all what I needed to make my point.
I found over the last few years living as a woman that I can get similar kind of privileges only if I say that Dr. Linde XXX wnts to do this or that. If I just say Linde XXX, I might as well talk to a wall some of the time, specifically if I have specific requests from some physicians or some of the male Latino population here.
Do any of you have similar experiences during your fulltime life as a woman?
Hugs
