During casual conversation with peers and colleagues (all male, aside from myself) the topic of sexism in STEM fields came up. They asked about my experience. I said yes, I had experienced a lot of sexism in university, during hiring, and even after. A trans women I had gone to university with stated that women made it up or exaggerated it, and they had experienced no sexism in university, nor had they any difficulty getting a job for the optimum pay. They had transitioned after graduation, after getting a job. I hated them, so much, in that moment.
