These contests are full of ideology, so a trans person has a significant advantage over the others. There aren’t enough heartwarming and sob stories in the world to compensate for that.
On the other hand, I don’t really care if those kind of competitions are unfair. If they help trans people convey a message, that’s probably the best thing that can come out of them.
When it costs 17.000 instead of it being legalized for general use, you know it’s not for the good of the people.
One can only hold that this step allows for more research to prove benefits, and thereby create political pressure to legalize it and make it available at low cost.
You do you, but it would drain me too much to work a job just for the money if it doesn’t fulfill me in some way directly. I’d compare it to working a shit job your whole life with the goal to finally retire and enjoy life.
Only then, you’re too tired or have health problems, so you can’t enjoy life after all.
Try something and probably change your mind later. Not having payed a fortune for an education before your change of heart would be extremely helpful though.
Try to pick something that gives you freedom instead of limiting yourself. A craft might be good, or an internship before studying if possible.
I’m shocked people seem to agree with this so much. While there are certainly circumstances where you don’t have much choice, spending your life in a job/career that doesn’t give you meaning and fulfillment will probably depress everyone sooner or later.
