I have one more quarter of tech school left and I'm cracking under the pressure because I'm expected to attend because I can't bring the complex equipment home to work on.
I could deal if it weren't for the fact that there are very few people left and half of them are chuds and I am a trans person with a "gay voice" and the homophobia is real and damn near constant.
I don't get treated directly like crap, I just get shoved out of every conversation and laughed at (b/c haha gay voice.) I'm so over this career path and I am leaning toward dropping my last quarter because this + pandemic is breaking me.
The STEM field sucks and has so much inherent toxic masculinity.
Not terrible, not ideal.
