We're working on everyone at work using the correct pronouns for me. People are trying and I remind them (alot). I know it takes people awhile, especially if you've worked there a period of time, but it's so aggravating. Mentally for me using males pronouns is natural and I wish people could think that way as well. I know that's unrealistic, it's just something I wish.

My question is this- for anyone who transitioned on the job at what length of time did the majority of people start using the correct pronouns for you? I know some people take longer than others, but how long did it take at your workplace for most people to adjust and see you as male? I'm thinking probably months and months, but how long for you? I try to be patient yet firm on it. I just wish this part of it was all over. :icon_dizzy: At least the newer employees saw me as male from the get-go before the announcement. They are ahead of the curve. :D
