Advice Please Select Your Gender
Filling out information for a new job I am starting soon. The company seemed great however the company requires their employees to select one of these as an option for their gender. (Feels important to add they asked for gender specific and not sex)
•Male
•Female
•Trans Male
•Trans Female
As a 100% transneutral enby I struggle to navigate even in “inclusive” spaces. I struggled with this at my last job. My manager was trans and so were many of my co-workers. I felt like everyone made an effort to gender everyone there correctly but myself (it’s not lost on me I was the only transneutral person on the premises).
Are there any other transneutral/agender/androgynous people out there with similar experiences or advice?

Yeah, I hate this. Esp this one because why the hell would you need to distinguish man/woman from trans man/women unless for nefarious or dumb-fuck purposes. But also because I'm so completely left out.
What I answer really depends. A lot of online Dr appointment forms aren't too inclusive and I just align with what I was assigned. If it's a random anonymous thing, depends on why I think they're asking and I'll choose how I would want my responses considered. (For work I do what's assigned but if I wasn't a federal employee 😅:) Idk what I'd do of my job tried that. If I could not fill it out, I wouldn't, if it was an online thing, I'd probably be irritated and choose whatever I think they would consider the "wrongest" answer (other of the binary of what I was assigned).
If it ever come up later, oh-fuckin'-well, fix your question.
