The problem is, it's not really about gender, it's about appearance (which is still wrong). Most people are tribalistic in nature. They will seek out people who are like them or make them feel comfortable. Step one is be attractive and step two is don't not be attractive. If someone is trans and passable (to the point where the interviewer can't even tell) then they're getting the job. Likewise there are also rules about, no piercings, no tattoos, nice clothes (either from a t-shirt and jeans to a full on suit depending on if one is cleaning tables or a CEO). The difference is you can't sue over these rules. That said I imagine it's still super hard for trans people to find work. This also depends on skill level too (where if you have enough skills it doesn't matter what you look like as they'll deal with you because you're the best option.) But they still don't want you interacting with the public at all. With trans people it's because people think "oh it's a guy in women's clothes and that makes me feel weird" and that not only will they get less sales but that people will go shop elsewhere in order to avoid seeing them. We are super lucky to live in such a liberal area as this. We at least have a few opportunities here, and things are only getting better/more accepting. In some other more rural areas... well good fucking luck. Shit, in at least one state just being able to use the fucking bathroom is an issue (and another state is trying to pass similar legislation.) To me, it all comes back to companies should hire those who are most qualified, period. The best person for the job should do that job no matter who they are or what they look like.

It's ok, all you have to do is poke your head in from time to time. Let's us know you're still alive...kinda thing.

What planet do you live on? :D Fine, here's my list from at least as far back as 2009: "I look for (in no particular order) mutual trust, communication, honesty, love, commitment, and respect. I think those are the pillars of a solid relationship. After that come my wants and fetishes. Tall, thin, glasses, intelligent, technologically inclined (good with computers is a bonus too and an engineer is a huge bonus), gothic, of course must be very cuddly, someone who isn't really dominant or submissive, attractive, kinda artsy, good sense of humor, can laugh at sick things, likes funerals... But I'm picky, and no I haven't really given this much thought... I forgot to add no smoking (except weed on occasion), heavy drinking, or hard drugs. The only thing I'd want a woman addicted to is my dick." So yeah, basically a unicorn.

One way or another I will be there. Will be celebrating my B-Day that day.

It is a shame so many men think it's okay to objectify women. We're not even considered human in the eyes of that type of male. The kid would've found himself in a living nightmare had he dressed up and taken this completely seriously.
