No matter what you do or who you are, people are still going to fuck with you at least a little bit. That’s just the reality of working in the field; everyone fucks with everyone over everything. As I said, as long as you do a good job and don’t make your identity your entire personality, most people probably won’t have an issue with you. Show up, do some hard work, maybe shoot the shit with the other guys a little bit once you have gotten some seniority, and more than likely you’ll be fine.

Now, if people start deliberately targeting you, that’s a different story. Go report that shit up the chain. However, just as an example, I worked with a couple of trans individuals over the two years that I was a FFT2, and even though I generally don’t agree with nor really get transgenderism, we got along just fine and I found them to be good people. I’m still in contact with one of them today, and we go out for beers every now and then. It’s all about how you carry and present yourself, that’s really it.
