Same here. I am also an amateur musician. Can't hide from it there either.

And while it's not a hobby, I work in tech, so networking events outside of my current, old-fashioned company are rife with that stuff too.

Oh man, it's just inescapable if you're int the creative arts... :( And I'm not surprised to hear that about your tech job, I kept hearing that these genderspecials "trans" are quite rampant in the tech & IT industry, at least from a report I read about what it's like in Silicon Valley, California.

Fortunately I'm on the other coast, which is still a lot but nowhere near California levels yet. There is no amount of money that could convince me to move there. I'd rather stay at "uncool" companies with some small semblance of normalcy forever.

Haha I don't blame you. I'm actually originally from California before I moved to where I am now at 15 and I would say how I want to move back there someday because I liked the weather there but that was like back in 2009 and seeing where it is now, yeah I don't wanna go back lol
