I am very much just beginning, and have been very scared/concerned about losing my income, so coming out at work was not first on my agenda as I have a good bit of time that I need before I will pass, deciding to face that fear to help support / build my confidence I decided to contact the corp. HR director and explain my position and projected time line and hope for the best. I found that the company not supports workers rights but has adopted health care for Trans people follow wpath standards which will cover HRT and most procedures to complete the transition process much to my surprise I am not looking for work today but investigating options for procedures available in the US.
the point to this was that we seem to have a bit of momentum for getting some health care assistance in many locations and services across the US and recognition for transgender folks, I wouldn't go so far to say we are progressive but certainly moving in the right direction to have continuous health care and meds available. I mainly hope that this may reduce the social impact that seems to have such a strong influence on Tran's people and society and has had such a huge impact on Tran's folks in general
Stay strong xo Jerri
