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

What you should do is go find a trans woman trying to break into tech and follow her. And watch the cascade of heartbreaking rejections.

Then I dare you to tell her to her face that maybe she should try going by a male name. Maybe even her dead name.

Tell her that she should remove herself from company photos. That she doesn't look right and could scare away money.

You'll never get a stronger look of sheer disdain.

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.

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
