So I am just so sick of living two lives one male and one female. I am finally at a point were I feel comfortable going full time however currently I am in college and have a part time job. I want to transition at work, and easily could my co workers are very accepting and the company I work for is very lgbt friendly; however I dont want to go through the process at work (explaining what trans is to some people and being misgendered accidentally). Another option would be to come out to my manager and transfer to another location but that would take a lot of coordination with her and name change for my new job; and lastly I could just quit and take a couple month break from working and focus on being full time. However I am afraid I wont be able to get a job again based on being trans or it maybe very difficult. Any advice ?

I'd keep the job and work with it

Camillarose,

Welcome to Susan's,

Jobs are hard to find regardless of gender identity. Being transgender does make it more difficult. We can't really tell you what to do. We can give opinions and suggest you talk it over with others you are close to. If you are close to some of the fellow employees, maybe they could give you advice with a knowledge we here don't really have.

It is hard to live that two person thing. I am there right now as well.

I wanted to share some important links with you. They will give you some of the site's policies and rules. If you have not read them yet, please take a look.

Wishing you love, acceptance and a smooth path.

I'm getting ready to come out at work too. While I'm worried about losing my a anonymity, I feel it's important to educate people that trans people are normal people. Also my friends miss gender all the time but they are quick to correct themselves, which makes me feel better then anything. If your in a safe place with accepting people in a job you like, I'd say you have the best environment you can have to come out full time.

Realistically speaking, unless you absolutely pass 100% as a GG and can be totally stealth, you can/will be clocked. Besides, in this day and age there is no such thing as 100% Stealth when everything about you is sitting as Ones and Zeros on a myriad of databases in various Iron Mountain backup locations.

I would just "Go for it" where you are where you are known entity as well as liked and respected as a person. No matter what the offiicial policies are, if you are a disruption or otherwise bad for business, you will be given the boot.

Was just there girl. I got  sick of it and came out at work as well. I work in a wood mill first a talked with my boss and was shocked when he told me about his favorite gay uncle and why he was his favorite not for what he was but for who he was inside that mattered. Told doesn't matter to him if I was black, white, boy or girl you do a great deal for this company. So the next day I started to wear make up and I caught ->-bleeped-<- for it for 2 weeks before one of them asked me if this was going to be the new Thang. I then showed him some pictures of me hair curled make up done and in a drees explained to him that I'm a girl this is who I em and my name is Kulena,and this is not a secret and I want you to share it with everyone here. He surprised me and said ok Kulena. I did this with a few people who asked and I was no critzide and everyone calls me Kulena. I never imagined that it would go so well at work, and I in joy going to work I find it rewarding to hear my name

It's nowhere near as unpleasant as you may fear - especially in an LGBTI friendly workplace (speaking from experience here). Work with your managers and your colleagues to make coming out and full time transition a supportive and affirming experience for you and them. And if they slip up and misgender/dead-name you (and they will at first) it's not the end of the world, think of it as a way to learn patience, good humour and people skills. If your colleagues respect you now that won't change with transition. If you respect them you could very well be doing them a disservice by saying "my transition is not for you to share".
