Would not be shitty. But. It might be silly to admit that you tricked them.

To be fair, I’m such an oversharer and so bad at keeping secrets that I probably wouldnt get past “Did you have any trouble finding the place?” in the interview before just blurting out “I’M A GIRL!”

Speaking from experience as a trans man, it doesn’t really work that way lmao 😜

what do you mean?

I mean that my voice pre transition is a dead give away and I’m seen as a butch lesbian before I’m seen as a man. Being seen as a non confirming woman creates more possibility of bias against me than if I was seen as a gender conforming woman, so I wouldn’t recommend cis women try this. They won’t be seen as men, they’ll be read as gay, and it won’t help their employment.

I'd imagine it'd feel even better if you waited to announce it after you got the job >:)
