Hello im Codi. I'm not usually the one to open up about my problems. Im a trans woman 28, live in new york and work at a nursing home doing dietary work. I started hormones and this job the same time about a year ago. In that time the people i work with and the residents i feed, have all seen me going through the changes and it never seemed to bother them one bit, they were all very respectful and even helpful. A week ago however i entered guy fail mode, since that day everyone has acted completely different. The nurses are all noticeably more careful with there words and some people pretend they don't know who i am. But what gets me is the constant look of fear or disappointment on there faces when they talk to me. Of course i can hear my name mentioned in the break room everyday... I thought they knew what was going on? I don't understand. Some of the residents even told me i should repent, i found that amusing and sad at the same time. I know it will take time but... I guess right now i'm a novelty to them, hopefully it wears off soon and they can all talk to me the same way again. Just wanted to write out my thoughts, feel a little better already.
