Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hi everyone the other day we had our staff appreciation day and we took a group picture for 2017. At the angle that the pic was taken and my tan coloured nursing scrubs you can clearly see that my breast a alive and growing. A few coworkers have commented on them.  One coworker said wow in the pic it looks like you have bigger breast than me. I work with 85 females and 7 males and females notice things fast. I think I may be going full time soon than I planned.

  Congratulations Natalie, they're getting bigger!!  I'm about in the same condition but I no longer work so that isn't an issues for me really. If you want to attract more unwanted attention you can always lock yourself out of your car at a busy freeway gas station while en femme. That's always fun.

  I hope all works out well for you at work. It is probably a good vocation to be outed in. Good Luck.

Hugs,
    Laurie

As professions go, being around mostly women and with medical backgrounds is likely one of the best scenarios I could imagine for coming out at work.  ;)

Yes, women definitely notice very early on. I don't know how many I have seen look at my chest with that quick bit of wtf question visable in their eyes and the slight eyebrow twitch. And that's with me wearing two shirts and a sports bra all the time. Then I can usually tell right off if they are like "whatever" or if  they are disapproving. I only see the disapproval from some ladies older than myself. Interestingly some women will automatically change their deminor towards me the instant the recognize me not being a "regular guy". It's really cool to suddenly be treated like they would any other woman.
Men are waaaayyy less consiously observant. They see what they want to see untill they don't. Then they have no idea what to think.

Well I was never really fully treated as a regular guy I would always have my nails done with french manicure , hair coloured,eyeliner and mascara, eyebrows done and I always had my body hair shaved so they sort of new I was not the average guy

Yes it is getting very exciting but also terrifying but more exciting to me any way. It depends on who is around because I already know who is judgmental and who is not. I dont care what they think of me. I have had my job destroyed because of reasons like wearing eyeliner mascara having my nails done. I know i am going to go through the same crap again 

I've already got crazy man boobs so hopefully I can disguse myself for a while longer.
If your colleagues are joking about it in a friendly way i have a feeling things will work out just fine for you :)

I know some of them will be ok but some of them are totally narrow minded  and very religious beliefs.

Same as everyone then :)
I WILL have to quit my job when I am noticed due to very anti trans and homophobic people.
I hope you'll be fine :)

I understand  everyone goes through it that I am not the only one I am just surprised  it is sooner than I expected

I expect the same but since I work alone in another state no one from my work really knows anything is going on. Surprisingly the customer's whose machinery I fix have not seemed to care what I look like. That is longer hair, shaved, earrings, bare arms, ect. I get some weird looks but after I'm working they just let me go about getting their machines running. This is in agriculture so you would expect a lot of red neck attitudes. My employer however is located in a very non lgbt friendly southern state. A lot of my coworkers come from Baptist and non denominational "Christian" churches. I doubt I will be welcome after next winters yearly training meeting.

Who are you kidding? You are already out to everyone but yourself.
You know how many "it's about time" comments you are going to get when you finally say something?

And the guys, they'll never figure it out unless you say something.

Yes I know what you are saying I was doing little things to hide my dysphria and it start out with one thing than it was 2 things than 3 things I tried to push it away but it kept coming back no matter  what I  did to stop it. It would calm down than come back harder
