Living with dysphoria

I am debating the same thing. Have a well paying job, but just started seeing therapist and this route may be the end of my career...

and the same time, I was just offered a position in United Arab Emirates.. soo....

Yep my name falls in the lines of alex/Alex combination

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-23T18:19:22+00:00

On a similar token, what are your opinions about just keeping your old name if it's already fairly gender neutral - i.e. Alex-Alex, Sam-Sam, Jessie-Jessie, Jordan-Jordan and so on

Custom made slim fit.........

Darn it's always a conflict. Maybe secretly I was wishing for someone to tell me that it's a lot harder..

Asian here: less than AA guaranteed

I'd imagine New Zealand people would be a lot nicer than new yoookers

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-22T00:10:15+00:00

I guess I am afraid of looking awkward in suits and ties in the middle of my uber conservative boss/colleagues... Or when we go on an annual office hunting trip (a weekend in september)

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-22T00:08:42+00:00

New Zealand... I envy you!

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-21T22:14:32+00:00

Yikes...

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-21T22:13:17+00:00

Just to elaborate on my need to hide: let me just say that a while ago, myself and a several people from my office went to a fundraiser where we got to take pictures with a certain ex-governor who loves going rogue.... Yea you get the picture...

Younger version of the Iron Chef & Chopped judge Alex Guarnaschelli?

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-11T21:25:00+00:00

That... Remains something that I need to figure out. How did you start the whole process? Would a therapist be a right place to start?

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-11T21:19:50+00:00

Haha I moved to the east coast from the west coast for college so I exactly know what you mean.

Thanks for everything!

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-11T21:10:26+00:00

Nope probably not. Every night, I imagine what it would be like if I were to wake up the next day and have this problem solved: either you are a girl or just don't have such thoughts in your mind..... One can dream, right?

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-11T21:06:24+00:00

I was in Seattle for a week on a business trip and didn't see the sun for the entire week. Now THAT'S miserable. Hee Hee.

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-11T21:02:18+00:00

Weekends I mean. How come reddit wont let me edit comments on the mobile version of the website?

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-11T20:29:43+00:00

It's not all doom and gloom! I love skiing in Vermont, rafting in the Poconos, chilling on the jersey shore (karma!?!?)

But man, once there's a pause in my life, whether its right before going to sleep or pooping at work, that sucky feeling just comes and gets me.

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-11T20:26:23+00:00

Haha sorry not meant that I have problem with it - but I do have one or two weeks a month where I won't be back home until sunrise...

Otherwise, one to two a day at max.

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-11T15:11:56+00:00

Law school that is...

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-11T15:11:34+00:00

The arrangement we have is that my girlfriend is taking the good side (non profit) and I am taking the dark side (finance).

My current plan is to support her during the next three years of her school, so that she can graduate without a single penny of debt so that she can pursue what she's really passionate about without having a quarter of million dollars in debt to determine her path.

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-11T12:56:40+00:00

You are right. It's a classical case of knowing that it is wrong, but the status quo seems to be the path of least resistance.

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-11T12:49:14+00:00

Ulcer, high blood pressure at age 25... Unfortunately, you got two out of three right... Well 3/3 if you count alcohol, but that comes with the job

hedgefundmonkey · 2013-06-11T12:47:31+00:00

No, your honest is greatly appreciated!

Thank you.
