I started hormones around 9 months ago and a few months ago felt like I couldn't stand my job for one more second and quit. I've been applying to jobs in my field, and I'm getting interviews consistently. Every single time so far I've eventually gotten this horrible feeling like I don't want anything to do with the company or the people who work at them. This has resulted in me... lets say not bringing my A game to the interviews because frankly I don't even want these jobs, so I haven't gotten any offers.

Idk what to do at this point other than keep trying and hoping someone decides to give me a chance. I've thought about changing careers, but I'm in my 30s so it feels a little late. Part of me can't imagine staying in my field anymore, the people are just so gate keepy and elitist, but I also can't imagine anything else being better...

What were y'alls experience after hormones? Did you change careers, stay? Did things work out?

After coming out of the closet I quit my job at the metal workshop. Only rural conservative folks there.

I tried college again but failed. I worked some blue collar job and factory work. I felt less dysphoric around men than women. And office work isn't bad either, I could finally wear skirts, dresses and nice shoes to work. But in the end I am looking to go back to some blue collar environment. Wanna work with my hands more. I dont mind that I'd wear more work clothes, I am more butch already.
