I work for a major bank here in the US, and I just came out yesterday. We have a special transition team that works to help you transition from a supportive corporate perspective.

I was stunned at how supportive my managers were, despite my myriad tears when we had my coming out meeting.

I am allowed to use the female restroom from now on, but I must use it consistently. I used it several times yesterday and was nervous when females were in there (as I am not yet dressing fully female, though I am extremely effeminate bad my nails are done to the nines.)

Regardless, it felt like such a burden had been lifted and I can even change my preferred female name internally effective immediately and it will also be changed on my badge, e-mail, etc.

Thank you, Cindi  :)

I would love to hear yours and others' stories of coming out, be they positive or otherwise.

Wonderful!
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

Congrats, it is nice to have an open minded company. Where I work, they have recently acknowledged the transgender population. They are striving to treat us more equally.

I am approaching the 1 year mark since my decision to transition, and I am celebrating my 6th month on hrt.
