So as the effects of E mount to the point of male fail I now feel uncertain and afraid. Definitely not what I ever expected.
I love being me don't get me wrong but as the time gets closer I feel alone and scared.
I guess I am not alone with this feeling.
Jenny,
I do not mean this in anyway insulting to anyone.
You have a very high power job. As do I.
This can make transition extremely difficult - or in contrast, very easy.
I, for example, basically told everyone to deal with it or deal with me. I didn't realise until much later how confronting that was to my staff and employer.
They could not afford to lose me, so they had to accept me. My transition was not a problem for me - but for others. I knew what I had to do. It took me years to realise this.
There are others in the same position, Warlockmaker, for example, has facd her unique situation. She, and I, could have lost the lot. We have a lot to lose.
In a way, we don't transition, the work place does.
You Sis are in the same place. You are vital to your organisation. They cannot afford to lose you.
At some point of life you need to make the decision of what you want to do for your future. You have the same brain, albeit transformed into a female thinking and feeling one, but still the same skill and insight.
Your company knows that they need you. You are a highly valuable asset (hate that concept!) and they do not want you to take your skill to another company.
Jenny, you are in control. You may not have realised that because you may still be fighting your transition?
You make your move when you are comfy, but make it for you and don't be frightened.
BTW, I will add one other thing.
Since I came out and started to be political, I have found to that many of the leaders of commerce and politics are, can we say, gender fluid. You may be surprised how well you are accepted !
