Study: https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/publications/gnc-workplace-discrim/

Gender-nonconforming cisgender lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer employees were also more likely to be out at work. About two-thirds [68 percent] said they were out as lesbian, gay, bisexual or queer to their supervisor, compared with 50 percent of gender-conforming employees.

As a trans woman, I cope with presenting as male at work during every conversation by thinking, "You fool! You absolute imbecile! You think you're talking to a man, but you're actually talking to a brilliant villainess who has tricked you into treating me with respect by driving a sasquatch-themed mech like a beautiful, sexy Krang! You buffoon!"

It's dumb, but it does make me feel better about the dysphoria.

But how many of those men are pulling the same thing on you? Hmm? ;)
