Keep it in mind. Better powder in the Rockies than the Adirondacks any day.

To be honest, many people have it much worse so count your blessings. I have to transition while working in a all male max prison and even I feel more fortunate then some others who are transitioning.

I work in a big city corporate environment. There is no black & white. I'm surprised I've lasted as long as I have. I'm seriously thinking of walking off the job and quitting IT forever. Everyone is so cookie cutter, perfectly manicured, perfect hair, arrogant ->-bleeped-<-s.

I'm a grad student! Career-wise, I'm not so sure I like it as much as when I started, but grad students can get away with a lot, and my peers are very accepting folks... I'm still sorting out feelings, but if I decide to start going out, I feel like this is a place where I can be myself without being judged.

I am a college student majoring in world history and I work on-call as a junior filing clerk in a lawyer's office.  My duties include sorting case files for three lawyers, archival and updating law books.

I work for Greenville Health System, doing silly warehouse stuff. I have an inventory history from retail which helped me get the job (and after 5 years at a Wal-Mart in a supervisory position, it was quite a welcome change). Before that I was a computer programmer for a now-dead sign company.

I'll put another version of my "work" here.  I used to be a software engineer but I'm now retired.  I do voluntary work with an LGBT helpline where the  team are well aware of my status.  I also volunteer with a charity doing social work with people harmed by loneliness.  The other volunteers know my history but it isn't relevant for the clients.  Has anyone else made such a change from introvert geek guy to socially aware woman?

Kinda, but I have Asperger's and I'm socially inept regardless and don't have much desire to be. I'm doing all I can, where as before my introversion was so severe that I wouldn't talk to anyone not immediately related to me (which made college a huge pain in the ass). I try to help local trans* people in the support group, but from outside of the support group... because I find their name offensive, their core group is extremely clique-y, and while it's led by some extremely well-intentioned people, I just didn't fit in. So I spend a lot of time talking people down from suicidal thoughts, trying to help people get to therapy, and sharing resources in upstate SC.

I'm unofficially retired.

My Asperger's diagnosis said severely affected.  I didn't agree because I had a wife and a job, and I know several Aspies who aren't likely to have either.  I haven't been reassessed but I would now put myself as borderline to mild Aspie.

A fellow Aspie! How fascinating. I've been diagnosed as severe too, but I do work and did get married. She had to pursue me like a hound, however, and often remarks now that she can see how I am now so she understands why. I just don't pick up on flirting... at all. How I made it in retail was taking positions with minimal interaction or in areas of fascination (electronics, inventory). All supervisory positions, where I mainly had to deal with employees and not customers. I told them when I was being interviewed that I would be most valuable in ways that utilized my abilities to solve problems and learn systems, not with people. Due to my affinity for systems, however, I ended up being the store's go-to for virtually anything about how to make their inventory management system work the most effectively, because for whatever reason normals there didn't get it. Most people found me very off-putting, because I don't like talking, but upper management sent them all to me anyway. Towards the end, they didn't know what to do with me any longer. I had no job title and no department. But I'm sure that had more to do with my trans status leaking than anything...

Oh there are lots of MtF Aspies.  Nobody seems to know why!

I always used to work in the more geeky areas of software engineering - which is a geek area anyway.  Poor communication skills used to be accepted there.  They are not now.

I work in emergency medicine for our 4 legged friends.

Yet another software engineer here. (self employed)
As an employee, I test these stupid in-car devices and box them up, which is not a very fun job but the other employees there sure do brighten up the day.
Will eventually move back into IT, but I had to leave my last programming job as my boss wasn't paying me. (still hasn't!)

Medscape won't let me register an account.  Either because I am not a medical professional or because I failed to enter a promotional code.

When I was working(71 retired now) I was an IBM Programmer working on main line  computers for a metal working company . A lot of times when working although getting a very good pay check I wished I had the nerve to work in a female job like being a nurse,secretary, or hair stylist.
