       Just learned about Ben Barnes, an intersex transmasc neurobiologist who transitioned halfway through his career in 1997, and then later publishing papers about sexism in science based on his experiences having been both a woman in science and a man in science. Pretransition, he'd been passed up on for opportunities for men with far less experience than him, and had once been accused of having a hypothetical boyfriend solve a complex math problem instead of having actually solved it himself. Post transition, he found that he was always treated with respect and never looked down upon by those who didn't know he was trans. In one instance, after giving a talk on his research, another scientist told him that his research was "better than his sister's" (his "sister", in fact, being him pretransition).

       @ActuallyAubrey omg!! You reminded me of the opposite. After a transfem economist transitioned, she suddenly started getting less work and less respect
