I was laying in bed last night and came to the sudden and somewhat panicked realization that the disparity in my mental and emotional moods between when i'm at work where I'll never be able to come out and when i'm at home or with friends who i'm out to is so large that I'm eventually going to burn out, and it may be sooner than I think.
I need to leave this place asap but I have so many things I need to get in order before I can even think about applying to new jobs. I really wish I didn't let myself become dependent on this fucking place but unless I can find a new job that will pay me enough to afford rent I'm stuck here.
A friend did mention working at the casino he works at. From other friends that have worked there before it seems to not be the best, but it has potential to pay 1.5k+ a week working in the cages.
Maybe if I time things out correctly I can apply to the new place while being visibly trans and make my own life easier.
OH OH OH I told myself I'd buy paperback versions of Nevada and Whipping Girl after I started coming out and I finally picked them up on saturday. Unfortunately I only found out about this cool little anarchist-coded bookstore in my city AFTER I bought these books at B&N.
I still want to check them out tho in hopes that they have some feminist books available.
I've been interested in finding and reading Who's Afraid of Gender as well as Gender Trouble among a few others.
Is there any that some of y'all transfemmes can recommend?

Gender Outlaw by Kate Bornstein! Also if you like Nevada, Detransition Baby by Torrey Peters would be worth trying
among some other thingsAlso read the Gender Accelerationist Manifesto if you haven't!
