I’m a young pre-T and pre-surgery trans dude and I’m scared. I’m so scared for my future.
I plan on going into acting and dramatic arts as my major in uni, as I live close to one of the best acting uni’s in Australia. My main goal is to be able to be a successful TV/Movie actor.
But I know I’ll never be able to get a job if I end up transitioning. No one wants a trans actor in any roles other than that of a trans character.
I want to play cis male character, I want to get the roles any other dude would get. But I’m so scared that’s never going to happen if I transition.
Obviously I’m going to transition and finally stress a little less about the crippling dysphoria that’s ruined the last few years of my life.
But I’m scared to miss the chance to fill my dream. I won’t get to do my dream job, I’ll never get to play my dream character.
And I’m so scared for my future.
Please understand being trans doesn’t just effect our relationship with people, or our relationship with ourselves and our bodies. We miss out in the chance/ live in fear that we won’t ever get to do what we dreamed of as a small child.
Being trans is NOT fun.

the best jeff goldblum photoshoots are the ones where he looks like an exasperated museum curator who just got off the phone with his husband who informed him that their beloved border collie scuffed the living room floors which they JUST varnished last weekend and ugh sorry but he really doesnt have the time for this because he’s nursing a hangover from all the cherry merlot he consumed at last night’s company mixer which he’d promise himself he’d go easy on because he had a lot of errands to run the next day but he just got so caught up with trying to impress mrs van damme and has a tendency to hide his anxiety with booze which is something he’s been trying to work through but anyway he’s already at the tailor’s and he’s gotta get back to the office in 15 so he’ll see him at home and hangs up in a bit of a rush but realized that was kinda rude so he’s thinking of an appropriate emoji to send him to soften the blow while he’s waiting for darlene to bring him his smoking jacket
