It's ridiculous, right?
I feel like a failure due to these rules.
So do I. However IMO, such rules not only come from society around us, but also from what people who believe in gender stereotypes expect.
18-I graduated from high school (perfectly normal)
24-Transferred to my current school from PCC (never obtained an Associates Degree in the process)
29-Have proper employment (even with the help of VR and Inclusion, I have yet to obtain proper employment)
I am often told that if I cannot find myself proper employment, I will be forced to work in a blue-collar field which is something I want to avoid in part because like many, I do not want to be a gender stereotype.
