Right now I am a PhD student, and the main obstacle for me in beginning my transition is knowing that during my PhD process I will have to travel to conferences, some of which are held in countries which are not very accepting of trans people. As you are also a PhD student, I am wondering whether you have any advice for navigating that complicated part of transitioning during studies?
This is something that’s been somewhat on my mind. It hasn’t been a problem yet- I haven’t been to any conferences since starting HRT, and I’ve never been to any outside of the US.
Still putting this out there bc I’d love to hear if other people had perspectives, though.
