TiM switches to "boymode" to access male privilege. Cause you know, they're just sooo much more oppressed than actual women are. I wish I could opt out of womanhood whenever some sexist douche discriminated against me!

His story reveals the insane narcissism that most trans people have. It isn't that the other jobs he applied for were filled with superior candidates; such a thing is simply not possible. It must be b/c he's trans. That can be the one and only reason. He has no clue as to whether those jobs were filled by women; it is possible that all of them were but he just assumes that since he got hired as a man, that it is the only reason he was hired. They become so wrapped up in their identity that it becomes the single defining aspect of them as people. It is the only thing they talk about and they have to be the center of attention. You just know this guy wants to walk into his new job as a "woman"(in drag) to shock people and be the talk of the office. Then he'll set about looking for the phobes to get them fired b/c, you know, justice. The fact that he'll most likely get away with it is just gross.

It tends to be the case with most of the TQ+ that their identity is the entirety of their personality, and that narcissism abounds, but the T really seem intent to turn that up to 11. Even before things started going off the rails completely with the Ts, my experience was that most were b o r i n g people. Try to talk to them about anything other than trans "issues" or their personal "struggles", and... there's nothing there.

The somewhat older ones who had gotten educations and jobs prior to transitioning might be able to discuss topics related to that, but in many cases, it seems that transitioning wiped out any passion or interest they may have had for it. So the net result would pretty much be the same.
