Show that if $(z+1)^100 = (z-1)^100$, then $z$ is purely imaginary

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 7 down vote favorite Let $z$ be a complex number satisfying $$(z+1)^100 = (z-1)^100$$ Show that $z$ is purely imaginary, i.e. that $Re(z) = 0$. Rearrange to $$left(fracz+1z-1right)^100 = 1$$ I tried using $z = x+iy$ and trying to multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate, but I hit a roadblock. I also tried substituting $1 = -e^ipi$, but that also doesn't seem to get me anywhere. How can I prove this?

I've decided that I want to transition. as I am currently employed I have been wondering when should let my employers know of this change. I know I will have to tell them at some point as my employment records will need to be updated however I don't know if I should let them know prior or wait until I've transitioned. I know that because I live in Australia it would be illegal for my employers to terminate me because of this decision and I have been accumulating sick days and annual leave so I would make sure that my leave is approved before any Surgery, not to mention that where I work has policies against...
