What do I do about LinkedIn?

I'm not looking for deep deep stealth. I just don't want to have my trans status be the focus of every conversation.

People where I work know I'm trans, so do many of the customers. Its a non issue and no one ever brings it up.

Same here.

I know this is a few months old, but I had the same issue. I created new accounts for Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, but haven't been on LinkedIn in a long time. Someone mentioned LinkedIn the other day which prompted me to think about it. I had forgotten about LinkedIn. I don't want to create a new account because I would lose my existing connections, but there are also some folks on there who I don't want to tell. I've already dropped a couple of people and will probably drop one or two more and then change my name on LinkedIn.

Linkedin was one of a few places I did this. I don't see any issues with that once your out at work Hugs

On my LinkedIn account, I just updated my name, picture and profile. All my current contacts already knew and I didn't even hear anything from old ones when I changed it. If someone dropped me because of it, I wouldn't want to work with them anyway.

I have found that almost no one except people looking for candidates looks at LinkedIn. I have updated my LinkedIn for a long time and people are still shocked when I tell them I transitioned. Even people at work.
