One of the comments on the Already Pretty article brought me to another fascinating discrimination/privilege story from both sides: a transgendered female to male Stanford professor commenting on his perception in the scientific community before and after transition.
My favorite quote:
After he began living as a man in 1997, Barres overheard another scientist say, “Ben Barres gave a great seminar today, but his work is much better than his sister’s work.”
