Sad transexual on HBO's Taxicap Confession

[jolo]

SMC,

I am sorry, but I don't understand what the government has to do with this.

In my opinion, idiotic social attitudes, bigotry and ignorance by those who believe nonsensical stereotypes about the role that women and men are "supposed" to play seem to be what causes this stuff.

I recall, for myself, as a male, I was surprised about my own embedded stereotypical beliefs after my job and a few thousand others, were off shored. It was done by department and had nothing to do with individuals, but it was done by a headquarters office, by department.

After it occurred, even though I had consistent excellent reviews, I felt less than a man, because I lost my long time job/career. I struggled with feelings of "loss of manhood", because I didn't have my "career" anymore.
