So this is a generalized question for all the girls that have already transitioned in the work place.

I'm meeting with HR today 2pm eastern. For a question answer session. A week ago I had about 10 good questions I intended to ask that I felt surely I'd remember... Suddenly my mind is blank.

Hey hun, I'm not sure where you're based,  but here's a few.

-know your legal rights and protections
-any specific employee benefits, I. E. Health care coverage?
-do they have a process to follow for notifying other employees?
-will time off for medical/therapeutic treatments be paid and not counted as sick-leave?
-relevant dress code policies and how are they relevant?
-use of gendered restrooms?
-updating of name/gender/pronouns on hr/it systems (email, Skype etc..)
-name badges, business cards?
-informing clients/customers/vendors
-escalation process in case of any perceived discrimination or harassment.

Good luck. X

Amusing story, I transitioned on the job. The day after I wore a dress in, they changed the dress code to state that pants needed to be worn on the production floor for safety reasons !

Megan covers pretty much everything.

What you may want to add is:

- do they allow using your preferred name / gender if you have not legally changed your name
- would HR be available to join you when talking to your manager / co-workers

And good luck!

I'm not sure how big your company is but if you are willing to put yourself out there, ask if there are any other transgender people in the company and if there are (they may/do know things you don't) to pass your contact info on to them.

Is there an LGBTQ resource group?

In my opinion, everything should be on your timeline but they may have some ideas/policies.

Is there a transition guide?  (Surprisingly my company does. It's 10 pages long and 9 pages are for everyone else while the last few paragraphs are for the transitionee.

Good luck

Hi Megan

I'm currently living in Jax FL working for Baptist Medical. I'm legally changed 100 % with FL dmv and Social security. Gendered bathrooms not an issue, plus I could care less about that issue. I think so far I've got most things resolved, but the hindsight thinking is always helpful.

Devlyn plays around with large puddles of molten lead. Get a few drops of that on you skin and you will understand the dress code.
