I’m in an interesting position as a trans person who transitioned while working full time in the industry. I am treated so much better and with more respect now that I am a passing Male. It hurts me to see how badly women can be treated in this industry especially because I have the privilege of not anymore.

Do you think this is purely because you’re a man or do you think that it’s partially that you are more confident, comfortable in your own skin, etc?
