Greetings all! Decided to jump on here and share what will hopefully turn out to be a very positive experience; I am OFFICIALLY OUT AT WORK!
For those not in the know, I'm a mobile developer for a big corporation; I interned over the summer and they kept me on during the semester and offered me a job for when I graduate. I'm getting ffs in the winter, and figured I ought come out before taking 2 weeks off and returning with symmetrical pieces of my face removed.
I worked with them through our company's LGBT networking forum, who spoke on my behalf until today. They told me no form of discrimination or bullying would be tolerated, and that they fully support all trans identified employees. I'm meeting with HR next Tuesday to discuss the process of coming out to coworkers and other policy related stuff, but I'm super optimistic!
I wish you a lot of luck in the process. It must feel very liberating to know that you won't have to keep hiding amoung those you work with on a daily basis. Hopefully your coworkers will be understanding and supportive. Keep us updated and good luck with it all! :)
Awesome news, it is very affirming to get this step completed and with a positive outcome to boot. I hope it continues to go well and you keep the momentum and positive energy!
Best-
Great for you. It's so nice to see a nice girl enjoy being herself at work & being accepted. I think everything will work out great for you. Good luck if you need it & let us all know as things progress.
omg! that's awesome! good for you! I hope it works out good for you. Sounds like its going to wok out well for you.
P.S. I really don't think you need ffs. you already have a feminine face in my opinion.
Congrats!! I am so glad you have support and can relax now. Enjoy being you without fear. :)
