Hi yumi! Congratulations on getting your name changed.  If I could legally change my name right now I would. It's confusing to have to a answer phone calls with my legal name and have everyone call me me Nina. Have no idea what name I should have on my resume either.

Hi Yumistar

  I'm Laurie. Glad to see you here. I want to say welcome to Susan's also. I have been on hrt for over a year now and full time about 7 months so you are ahead of me there. congrats. As for the other little things you are way ahead of me. I kind of ran into a bit of muck and have gotten stuck. I envy that you are working on those surgeries that's awesome and hope you will stay here so we can cheer you on with your journey.

  Again welcome to our little community.

Hugs,
   Laurie

Hi Yakayla, I agree it can be confusing when I first started it was confusing for my work friends who knew me, but as I hadn't transitioned yet at work they had slip-ups back and forth on which name to call me, funny thing is only thing that bugged me is when they did so out of work with my birth name. I actually did care when they called me the wrong name at work and it actually helped me get over a lot of anxieties that I was having at work. For your resume, I would do like I do at doctor offices put your legal name the put next to it in parenthesis your preferred name.

Hugs, thanks, Laurie I am glad to I am lucky to just have a work that is so open and accepting I love HR and how scary they can be so that I feel safe at work and do not have to worried about being harassed. I am sorry to hear you are stuck if you want to let me know what it is maybe I could help you, even with my work and how great they are somethings are still a battle Insurance sucks and is very confusing the polices say I am cover but no information is there on how I go about getting them to actually pay lol.
