Welcome to the broad experience, the show about women, the workplace and success.

I'm Ashley Milne Tide.

This time on the show, if a woman doesn't present herself the way other people expect her to, the job hunt can be tough.

We just don't really think that you'd mesh well here.

It just doesn't feel like the right chemistry, these like very

vague kind of terms that are like, you make me uncomfortable. And so we're not going to bring you here.

And on the last show, we heard about transgender men's experiences at work and how many of them

have an easier time at the office after leaving their female days behind. This time we hear from a trans woman.

I've talked to trans men as well who they say,

oh my God, suddenly, you know, nobody questions what I say anymore.

And I got the opposite thing.

So suddenly, everything I say is just questioned.

Coming up on the broad experience.

Last year, I read a blog post by a young writer called Hannah Winston.

She made me think about something I'd never thought about before.

The prejudice you can face as a woman at work if you don't look traditionally feminine.

Hannah is 23, and last year she was dating another woman she describes as Butch.

And Butch lesbians, she says, they often find it tough to land jobs.

Her girlfriend certainly did.

She was a high school math teacher.

She dressed like a guy, had short hair.

And Hannah says potential employers didn't seem to know what to do with her.
