Being a black trans man how would you describe your journey so far ?
The one thing people dont really talk about but is very difficult as a trans poc (or any transgender person) is finding a job. Many employers would ask for me to bring in my ID and after seeing my name and gender marker they'd say they'll call me later but NEVER called back. This happened 23 times (yes I've kept count) in the past 2 years of my transition. A lot of people are very prejudiced. When I worked for Subway (last month) my manager constantly misgendered and dead named me (with a full beard in front of customers). Now that I finally have my legal documents fixed I will never take it for granted. Overall my journey has had its ups and downs, but I always told myself it DOES get better, and it did. 😁
