I have some more things to say about that article by @johngreathouse about women not using their name and appearing in photos.

Trans women everywhere are being rejected for jobs that our cis male peers are being hired for due to their "potential."
-
And if you think that maybe that adds some feeling of regret about transition, well guess what, you're exactly right.
-
So saying "meh, just ignore your name and call out sick on photo day" is one of the most dangerous kinds of advice you can give.
-
This literally kills us.
-
And finally, have you ever asked a trans woman about her name? Holy shit we can't shut up about our names. How dare you suggest we hide them

OMG, that look of "distain". You can't explain it to people, and they can't understand what it's like to get one
