Interviewer: What would you say is your greatest weakness?

Me: My commitment to quality. I can't stop myself from making sure I understand what's expected of me, or that I get the job done right.

Interviewer: ...how is that a weakness

Me: have you *seen* the tech industry lately. In the age of AI, doing your best work and caring about your impact is a fireable offense. That's how I lost my last job.

“No, it’s not ‘normal’ for humans to be in competition all the time.

It’s not normal to work for most of your waking hours of the day.

It’s not normal to be stressed 24/7.

Stop taking a few hundred years of capitalism and pretending that’s just how being human is. It’s not.”

If you are a transgender foreigner in France, unable to change your gender and name in your country and with residency here, please consider doing the CEC before the 20th of May, at which loi Rodwell would most likely pass without issue.

It deeply disturbs me that no protests have happened yet, considering it's basically an anti-refugee law that also affects name change.

If you want to do your dossier really easily, I highly recommend using https://administrans.fr/cec/

If you need support letters (or temoignages) you can request them from your friends (even those that aren't of French nationality), your co-workers, your co-volunteers in a nonprofit or even nonprofits (associations loi 1901) themselves.

If you need help filling the CEC, you can also look towards the Fransgenre Discord, which is a great supportive trans Discord association here in France.

FUR/HELP can also help you prepare the CEC paperwork.
