Hi, I'm looking for experiences of trans people working in public health. Specifically, I am likely FTM (egg cracked a few months ago).

I'm afraid about the impact of medical transition on my future working life and employability. Trans rights are going backwards almost everywhere.

I'm not in the US/UK but am in the anglosphere. I'm an MD.

Any trans people, trans men and POC in particular, able to share their experiences? Are you stealth or open about being trans? How are your colleagues?

I am in uni for a few years to come.

Heyo, so I'm in my 30s, and coming to gender questioning in this late stage of my life. I'm at uni rn.

I've seen lots of posts on reddit about how you get treated differently after transition as FTM, but I suspect many of them are white. I've seen POC FTMs seem to have much less privilege given. And autistic FTM also having less privilege.

This won't stop me transitioning if that's what is needed for me to be authentic, but if being an East Asian autistic man is going to be in many ways worse than being an East Asian autistic woman, I want to know how to navigate that. And what kind of mask will put me in the least danger etc.

And experiences passing vs not passing.

I'm gonna be working in public health I think, which is a quite white woman dominated area. My mask at the moment is super quiet asian woman, hardly talk in social situations, very people pleasing but not very emotive. Nodding a lot.
