In other words: there's a time and place to be loud and proud, and it aint on the job!!
To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are.

So i have no clue how yall got the idea that im the loud and proud one in the bunch, cuz honestly im not. Im the landmine in the family.....quiet, no one knows im there, but ready to take your leg off if you step on me....so before yall assume something, try asking if the person asking the question is the loud one.
I need a hero to save me now, i need a hero to save my life, a hero will save me just in time!!

my experience is that all parties involved in any sort of disruption be it discriminating or not are relieved of employment just to protect the business from furthering any discrimation that may be implied right or not. so knowing your coworkers and having the leadership team aware and accepting of your transitioning is a smart move early into your process so they have time to inform people of the laws and rules, they will need time to have a solid plan to protect the business and will apreciate being given that consideration.
something to think about

Why do you think I'm talking about you? I was responding to the more current sayings in the thread.

But maybe the landmine take off your leg if you test me attitude is why you're having difficulty.

Yes we were discussing the whole topic in general as well as your situation. I also noticed your mood change and like the previous post perhaps there are other issues your facing.

I believe that Katie's and other's cynicism is somewhat grounded in reality, but sometimes we're fortunate enough to work for a company that is truly supportive.  In this case, I think it's best to prepare for the worse, but hope for the best.  Just have a plan B ready just in case.

I transitioned in place ten months ago. So far so good. I plan on moving on anyhow at some point in the future. As the first TS case they have dealt with(to my knowledge) they hired a lawyer and had a month of consultations. Bottom line result from allthat was a whole lot of nothing, other than they burned a bunch of lawyer fee's on their own. With a little luck, my smooth transition can be used to craft an actual policy in the future, it'd be a good idea at my workplace of 380 people.

I'm disabled so I don't have this problem. I do run my own boat restoration business part time out of my home though and am generally accepted as female by others even though I'm still pre hrt (I haven't found a gender specialist close enough to where I live but I have found an Endochronologist within reach). I suppose I should feel lucky because its always been that way for me as I'm naturally femminine. However I did once live somewhere up north (I won't mention the place -bad memories) where my adopted father would always correct others when they referred to me as "she" or as a female. This was a 'backwoods' kind of community and when word got around things for me got very bad & I had to move. When my adopted father passed I had to go back up there to sell the farm - 20 years later mind you, only to find out the place hadn't changed.

I mention the above because the northwesrtern part of the state this all took place in is right next to yours. In fact, I could drive northwest for less than an hour and be in Ohio. My advice to you is to remain optemistic but prepare for difficulty due to where you live.

From the previous post. You mention all these things about how your seen as a female........ you talk about you living as a female........

Why do you even feel you need a gender therapist or an endo for that matter? I have gone through the entire transition process and never went to an endo. I only when to a therapist two days before srs. I never say a letter, crap I even told the therapist I thought it was a joke that I had to talk to him.

From the way you talk you sound like you know your a woman yet you also speak like someone that has not any homework. You can become an expert on HRT rite here on the net and the info I am talking about is written by doctors that are expert on trans hrt.

Oh and if your answer is that its in the DSM.. my response is that in the DSM is a statement that some people don't need therapy.

I'd be very careful the company I worked for follow the same government policies. I wasn't transitioning at the time. My problem was my knees. They got around the disability by saying I refused to do what they told me to do. I'd think hard about what Katie says. I had a union behind me and they still got away with it.

Well if you all remember my posts I got a job. I applied as a man and so stayed as a man on the job. The problem was I don't look like a man. I look either female or trans. There's no other option unless I wear a suit to hide my body and don't shave. (My body gives it away every time. Face wise, meh. Bodywise I can not pass as male. Unles you inspected that one inch.)

Once I took off the suit and shaved (the first day) I got problems. And my bosses were so-called liberals. She literally told me that she knew it wouldn't work out within four hours of me working there! FOUR EFFING HOURS! I'm in Philly though so I as I clean up my act (the resulting depression from being fired caused me big problems) I plan on suing. Maybe not. To sue, I would forever be known as trans. I am not a matyr nor am I part of a cause unless that cause is correcting my birth defect.

My BF only wants me to apply for jobs as a woman since that's what I look like, and way more so now than then, but what about my name? He also wants me to sue. For the money, not the cause. We are not part of the cause. We are a team onto ourselves. But I also don't want to go back applying for jobs as a man cause I dont ever want my BF seeing me dressed as a man. Ever. But that would be hard any way unless i stopped taking hormones. Even then.

If I got as far as you have I'd never go back               I don't  know what kind of work you do ,but I'm sure there's plenty of jobs that  will hire you as is. You present very well in your picture. .You can use a female version of your name for the public.
