I am yet to come out at work, although I suspect that it will not be long before hormonal development and other physical changes will be so obvious I will have to.
Work over the last year or so has been a pain in the neck. I have been transferred to a different office, my views and knowledge have basically been ignored and I have been left out of several projects that by rights I should have been involved in.
I don't think this is because of my trans status although some colleagues may have an inkling of the truth.
Now there is another structural review being carried out and there is a rumour that I together with other colleagues at the same level as me are going to be downgraded.
If the rumour is true, I will have to sign a new contract. If I don't I will effectively be being made redundant.
I dont know if this is a blessing or a curse. If I am made redundant, obviously I will have to find a new job but I will also get a reasonable payoff so I will have a few months to intensify my transition and possibly go into stealth mode.
I am really worried as I need an income to meet the costs of transition. Also with the uncertain nature of my future, coming out at work is so much harder.
At this momemt, I would gladly throttle my boss who is doing nothing to protect the status of his staff or to defend his profession.
