I started my transition at a company I worked for for 26 years, started as a millwright and moved into supervision and planning just before I began to transition, all very much male dominated positions. I am now working as a facilities maintenance lady for an apartment complex in a small navel air station town. very conservative male oriented role. I have found some questioning people at first however once they see that I am very good at my job they seem some what supportive. I dont think people are as critical as long as we are competent at our tasks. My bosses love having someone here that is reliable and can offer them a broad perspective on many issues.
I find work to be much supportive than my family and social groups
