In reply to anna. anna- so sorry to hear of your experiences and your struggle! "Dealing with situations similar to the one you describe always makes me want to pull back from the world at large" -- I really can relate to this and felt this way for so long until my most recent transition. It's frustrating because increasingly I'm finding based on things I read, my own experiences and experiences of close friends that "equality-driven spaces" are... often not what they claim to be, which has often led me to a greater sense of nihilism about it all. As you said, do what you can to remind yourself of who you are and what you love and draw boundaries around the shit you're dealing at work from the rest of your life, to the extent you can. Wishing you all the best and sending lots of love your way!
