For the sake of transparency.
I know I seem like I have it together, but some days, I am genuinely terrified for my future. I have one amazing freelance client, but as a trans person in tech with soft skills - and as a trans journalist - work started drying up after the election last year.
Globally, companies seem less interested than ever in working with me. In Australia, tech firms decided I was "too controversial" to be associated with.
My partner and I wanted to have a baby this year, but I can't see a path to making that happen. All I have is my writing, and some days it feels like I'm deluding myself into thinking that will be enough.
@Daojoan if all you have is your writing, then I guess it's lucky that you're so fuckin good at it! You'll get through this tough patch. This Internet stranger believes in you.
@TimmyMac Thank you sir.
