I found a photo of my Mom when she first met my adopted father. I never met my biological father. My Mom left him when I was two. Then my portrait again for side by side
My Mom says I look a lot more like her when she was younger than both of my other sisters.
So back around 2018 I got a job with Crestron. I went to Texas. My original boss and the team I worked with were amazing. We wrote drivers to control the equipment on site. Our intern that got offered a position moved onto another job. They hired some new people and the person that pointed me in the direction there retired shortly after I left. There was another trans person there.
I was in the worst shape of my life depressed and now in a miserably hot environment. This is around the time I started my weight loss regimen. My apartment had a pool that was reasonably clean and I would swim laps and take long walks around the area. It took me a while but I got down from around 230 pounds to I think 165 pounds over the course of nine months. I moved out of the apartment and into a rental house in that fall when the lease on the apartment was over.
Things were going great. At the time I didn't have my birth certificate updated. They went from miss sit down at such and such window. Looked at my paper work and said sir we cannot give you a female marker on your license. That was the moment I decided I needed to get my birth certificate updated. It's not for me but to shut up the bigoted ->-bleeped-<-s who delight is misgendering even while staring at my breasts.
This was around the time when I had lost weight but was still working on it and tried to get my license updated. It really hurt having them call me sir and just not even care. I'm so glad I don't live there anymore.
Anyways my boss left and we got this new guy. He was always going on and on about how he did the kids swim team coaching and just had this overly close way about him the few times I was in the office. It was uncomfortable.
I was in the gym on the ground floor of the building running on the treadmill and he came up from behind me asking if I swam and telling me the up tenth million time about how he is a coach for a swimming league and then says how he thought I'd do well and leans on the treadmill's handles. I was in a sports bra and running shorts. I felt cold and naked. I skipped the shower there left and took a shower back at my apartment. I felt like if I had stayed who knows what would have happened. He creeped me out.
I complained to hr so he retaliated and put me on a pip. It didn't matter I had the second most drivers certified with the least amount of bugs and I isolated and helped resolve other developers drivers in the same period of time as everyone else making less drivers. I ended up finding another job and leaving for less pay just to get away.
