I have always enjoyed theater, before I decided to be trans* and it is difficult to do on its own. In the town I live in especially, if you don't have family in the theater business or a ranking position, then you don't get a part. I was lucky to get my first break as a junior in high school and I think it was one of my best performances. But since I graduated I have fallen out of sight when it comes to productions. I'm not the best but I am not the worst, especially when it comes to singing I could work on that more. But I think coming out has really hurt my chances on going into performing arts. It hurts because a lot of people I talk to have supported me even those involved in theater as well. But what if they are the ones going behind my back to make it so I don't get a part. It's gotten so bad that I can't even help backstage anymore.... Could it be I'm just over thinking this or have I gotten worse or are people just rude? I don't know but I figured this is the place to rant and seek advice. I'm just so confused, I want to enjoy theater like I did before.
I'm a bit late to replying to this, as I needed to think over how to word it. But, try looking into finding a therapist that can help you out.
As far as the people who don't want you to get roles, this could be an insider job as they've sniffed you out, as it were.
