Outside of the workplace, we (women) have been treated as royalty. How can that be "2nd class"? Personally, I enjoyed greatly my time as a woman. It was a wonderful experience and made my post transition life as an employing male a much more sensitive to the needs and attitudes of the women that worked for me. As a working male I brought my experience into the workplace and did what I could to remove the glass ceiling. The best "person" for the job got it.
I dunno... Sometimes men can make you feel like a 2nd class citizen.

At Autozone with my boyfriend. I'm explaining something to a "technician" that I dealt with many times back when I was a dude (he didn't make the connection though. I was just some girl with a loud mouth to him). Even though I was the one asking the questions, he would direct all his responses to my boyfriend who hadn't said a single word. I guess it's because CLEARLY my boyfriend, who doesn't even know how disk brakes work, knows more about cars than his girlfriend that beefed up an old pickup and resto-modded a classic Camaro. Ah the knowledge inherent in every man from birth! The penis must be a second brain that us girls are missing out on...
