What's your job as a transsexual?

[rodmar04]

Hi filipina trans..

I just want to know kung ano ang job nyo now?

Is it not hard to find a perfect job for transsexuals here in the Philippines?

Most transsexuals are very limited insofar as job choice is concerned.

You can't be a teacher or a policewoman. You cannot be a bank executive or a construction worker.

However, I suppose that there are other alternative professions in which you may triffle, but like I said, I do believe that they are limited, indeed.

Here in the USA, it depends. I know one TS who is beautiful and is a construction worker because she's the foreman. However, most TS's who are construction workers are usually not that good-looking and "pass" as men in those jobs just so they can get work.

And who says you cannot be a police officer or a teacher? It all depends on where in the world you are lol.

I really hate hearing people tell others what they cannot be. Cos really, unless there are laws forbidding you from taking a job, its not a cant do, but a are you willing to face all the trials and tribulations you will likely go thru in trying to get into said position.

ya know?

Way i see it, anything is attainable, ya just have to be willing to fight/struggle for it, and realize that everything has risks attributed to it. some worth it, some not.

A transsexual police officer would be a great addition to a police force in the vice squad if one thinks of it, specially in cities that have problems with that sort of thing, *like here in san antonio, where we have issues with cops not being too....sensitive about the whole transgender issue*

States have been slowly addressing the transgender issue when it comes to sexual discrimination in the workplace, and slowly cos frankly, it is not as black and white an issue as those born outwardly male, outwardly female, ya know?

But things will happen. and to be honest, slow progress can actually be better than quick progress, cos when things happen fast........things have a habit of backtracking,.

I'm not a transsexual yet, but my current job I am lucky to be in the field that I am. I am a professional web designer / programmer and everything that I do is via the web so I rarely have to see my clients as most of them are out of the states or country so communication is usually via email / phone conferences.

When I do meet clients here locally in my area, I tend to go as a girly boy as I do not have breasts yet. Rarely do I have to explain myself as most think I am gay in the back of their minds which doesn't upset me too much as it isn't too far from the truth if you take a step back and look at it all. I would like to be seen as a woman and not a man so instantly I am just your normal straight girl but can be bi at a splitting notice hehe :]

sigtigma, you are really cute in the pink hair :3, and have a gorgeous face xD

and webdesign is one of the best professions for those of any gender, cos really, how much actually face to face interaction is actually done. not much if any, aside from corporate webdesign, and for the most part, webdesigners are hired based on the work they do, not personality or gender.

Web design basically speaks for itself, do good work, get good work.

*hugs the cute pink haired girl*

BTW, u have a cute nose

[bigdaddy]

i recently found out that my friend's daughter and also my daughter's friend used to do porn and still escorts on the side...but she was also working retail and played the violin professionally

[LindseyLong]

Right now I am a restaurant manager and I do pretty good. I'm in school to be an esthnetician.

[JulieRose]

I currently drive an 18 wheeler in the U.S. My employer is not the ones I'm worried about. Its some of these other truckers on the road. But I play it safe and have never had an issue yet.:)

[kalina]

I'm an IT Director at a major university. I get to play with Macs, PCs, and Linux servers.

[Cinthia]

if businesses were smart they would hire a lot of transexuals, I cant even look at a passable tranny IRL without getting a raging hard on. I wish there were a lot more tranny bartenders i would tip soo good

Big thanks

[Joni]

This is a huge concern for me. I'm a few months away from starting HRT and am a lawyer/CPA in Tulsa. I hope to pass as a male for a time and then transition. I figure my practice will be a loss; however, you never know and life is short.

[arielia]

I'm working as an electrician, I've found that my union helps with thoes transitioning and their employer.
