Greetings! I started T in June and have been going by my chosen name for the last few months at home with my girlfriend. I've told my boss and several folks at work and am currently working with HR for "coming out" at work (engineer at a nuclear plant with 1300 folks, so it's a bit complicated). At work, we're preparing to tell my immediate work group and the expectation is that folks will start using my chosen name and the correct pronoun the next week. I'm guessing family will take a bit longer to make the change....

Hello, Mitch!

Welcome to the Playground...

I'm Donna Jean...

Hey, Hon...I've seen you around for a day or two and I was wondering when you'd make yourself known,....and here you are!

So, come on in and have a seat...I'll get you a hot slice of pizza and a cold drink...

Sit back and relax....OK?

Now, I'd like to ask you to be sure to have a look at the forum rules...there's a link at the top of most pages...It says “Terms & Conditions..

And, we moderate this site to keep it safe for everyone..

It's nice to have you here....

Welcome to the Playground, Mitch.

Wow, a nuclear engineer. I'm impressed. Hey, I've always wondered, is it true you guys glow in the dark? :unsure::P

Anyway, don't mind me. I'm one silly girl. Please do post in any forum, and someone will always respond with good advice. After five posts you will get access to all the site features, including the Private Message (PM) system.

Have fun, make friends, and learn all you can.

Hi Mitch,

Welcome to the group. As a fellow newbie I have found everyone here supportive and friendly. It sounds like you work for a good company that has a good diversity policy. A lot of us just have to kiss their current job goodbye when starting to transition. It is nice to see some progression in the workplace. The company I work for also has a good policy and HR will help with the transition. However, I will probably not use it as I am only a year or so away from retirement so will probably just keep pretending to be a boy at work.

By the way do you know Homer Simpson? (Grin)

Hi Mitch,

Welcome to Laura's! Nice to have you join us. This is an amazing site with lots of info, plus many wonderful people who have gone through what you are now going through with the transition.

Vanna will likely be along soon to give you the details about joining the Chat side of Laura's if you are interested in that.

Please feel free to post more as you are comfortable in doing so.

Hugs,

Opal

Hi Mitch, welcome!

What kind of stuff do you get to do at the nuclear plant? Sorry, I'm curious because I'm studying physics at university at the moment. :P

Congrats on the T and good luck with coming out to everyone at work! :)

      hi there - introducing giz !!

      By gizgizgizzie · Posted

      hi vidanjali !! i know exactly what you mean, i do have a few trans and otherwise queer friends nearby me but currently i present as 'cis' for obvious reasons so it's not all that easy for me to reach out and find that kind of community (though i do love my irls!!)   but yeah, i get this weird paranoia that if i come out to too many people it'll end up tracing back to my folks (not everyone knows my family is homophobic and being outed is a big fear of mine)   but im sooo happy to know that that feeling was just dysphoria !! i thought i was going crazy for a minute !!.   thanks so much for welcoming me, and you have a great day too !!

      This is a fairly long video by Philosophy Tube,  (Abigail Thorne)  Discussing some of Judith Buttler's work and related stuff.   I wasn't sure where to post it, so if there is a better place, move it.

      By KymmieL · Posted

      I have a fantastic therapist. She is so caring she has helped me open up so much. Unfortunately, She is ending her internship. Do to a hiring freeze at the VA she isn't going just go right into a position there.  My Endo is out of the Denver VA hospital. I haven't talked with her in probably 2 yrs. I am  looking to transfer providers and get back to seeing a GYN at the Cheyenne VA.

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      By Birdie · Posted

      Shopping at the mall today and helping out at Torrid I excused myself to the restroom. The manager told me the restroom at JC Penny was much closer (I normally use the family restroom in the food court).   Upon arrival I discovered that JC Penny doesn't have a family restroom, it's either or.   The men's room was occupied with customers, and me going in with large breasts, long hair, and makeup was going to cause a stir, so I opted for the woman's room instead. I was the only one in the woman's room.    Texas state law does state that your must use the restroom that matches your chromosomes, and it's a misdemeanor to not do so, but it seemed to be the best choice (I really needed to go!)

      Did You Serve?

      By Lydia_R · Posted

      I had some guy grab my butt on the ship.  I don't know how "real" it was, but I did not enjoy that at all.  Also did not enjoy the hazing I saw other people going through.  One person can only do so much to stop that when there are 10 people doing it.

      I pulled this out of a stack of old military mementos yesterday.  I guess I didn't realize how cool this one was because I did so much of this kind of thing back then.

      By Lydia_R · Posted

      This internet video thing is pretty amazing.  I'd call it Zoom, but there are other platforms out there.  I prefer Zoom over Teams because Zoom puts me and everyone else in the same picture.  I like seeing the whole group in one shot.  Teams of course is about having so many people that you can't get them in the shot, or is it?   Just saying that I have never met any of my counselors in person.  Doctors, of course I have and I am lucky there.  They are 3.5 miles from my house as is the main transgender surgery place in town.  I've been doing virtual visits with the medical doctors lately though.  It feels like once I became steady state, they don't need to interact with me physically that much.  I have enjoyed going into their office in my nice clothing.
