Hey guys, ok so I just got a new job. It will most likely only be for a short while, as I tend on merely keeping it until my girlfriend and I move for her med school.
I started orientation yesterday, and everything has went well.
Here's the thing though:
I am 2 years on T, and am planning on having chest surgery early next year (provided I can save up the money I intend to save) and pass 100 percent of the time, and have for quite a while now. I have my name legally changed, and it has been legally changed on everything. Because of this, my gender is NEVER questioned. On applications I merely choose the "prefer not to answer" box so that I cannot possibly get into any trouble. However, because I have not had chest surgery, my state ID (I live in TN) still says F on it.
I gave that to the HR guy on orientation day, and he made a copy. I filled out all of my tax info, again making sure I clicked "prefer not to answer" on the gender question. He logged into his account and began his process and was like "wait a second, this is weird" and it had my gender say "prefer not to answer". He was like "ah, I doubt you're supposed to see this but look what it's making me put. So weird." and it had "Identify as:" for him to click because I did put "prefer not to answer". He selected "Male". He was like "OBVIOUSLY. Man I guess you accidentally hit 'prefer not to answer', whatever it's all good".
He took copies of my ID and whatnot, and didn't notice the F.
Should I divulge this? I mean I haven't lied about anything. On all the paperwork I put "Prefer not to answer" and on the background check divulged my previous name.
I would like to keep it to myself unless asked otherwise, because honestly I don't view it as anyone's business.. but I honestly do not want to get into trouble for anything.
