Hi Christine,

You've really opened a can of worms here. Having no idea of Industrial relations in US, I have no real data to compare with.

Having said that, transitioning at work is not really a place to employ DIY or use the Robinson Crusoe technique.

Your particular company/industry may have specific HR procedures/ rules/ issues regarding what you are trying to achieve.

Can you get some industry union / social welfare advocate, assistance to take you through this labyrinth? If not, can you get assistance through some community / social / medical welfare organisation?  Essentially you need an advocate who has experience in these matters, as some cases require extensive employer education / advice on discrimination policy / law etc.

I appreciate you may be in remote locations which may add to the difficulty of the situation, hence the need for external assistance. Hope this helps in some way.

Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa huggs
Catherine

No such thing as hr....or anything...
It's a small catering company...
We cook clean and house mine workers....
No assistance..what so ever..I'm pnu own and
Pretty much the only gid for maybe a 10 hour drive
And I don't understamd DIY here on your context..

if your worried you could just pull your hair back in a pony tail and kind of hide your changes until your next job assignment and switch to full time then?

DIY. Do-It-Yourself.

That entails you approaching management & staff on your own and explain in an understanding way, what you are doing, why, and the reason you don't have a choice in the matter.

It's a well proven process, that if an independent source, that has some respectability can deliver such information, the person transitioning has much better chances of acceptance. Doing this major task by yourself, will lack credibility in management / staff eyes.

Having said that; if you can put together a presentation that will speak for itself (YouTube videos, respected web sites explaining the issue, doing handouts of recognised medical proof etc) may go some way to others acceptance of you.

Hope it all works out for you.

Huggs
