Hi everyone
I haven`t come here in a while, too much happened in my life... great thing for the most part. I moved in Montreal (i was in Trois-Riviere, for those of you who knows quebec). I now have a great roommate which is really cool. I found many new friend but still no ts friend :( I'd like to have some lol (is there anyone here from montreal?). I know most of the time i'm staying home, it's not a great way to meet people... but i don't want to go out alone, that's boring... well anyway.
I'm searching for a job right now and I don't know which name to put on my cv. Even if I still haven't had my name changed, most people think I should write my female name as I may me less confusing for the employer and some others told me I should write my male name but doesn't give any reason except that it's there opinion. I don't know what I should do :S I don't wanna use my male name but I still need a job. What do you think?

Well when I started my new job last janurary I was not full time. So I started it as a guy. Looking back it might have been easier starting as me, but, well you never know. Though I still work at the same place, it was touch and go. My two cents is if you are comfortable being you then use the name you think is you.
