Autumn,

You are a strong lady and you looked wonderful and professional. Photos can never compare to the real thing but you look great in photos so I'm sure you look even better in person.

I'm sorry this happened and that you will be forced to find new employment but it will be better when you can be yourself and that is what's important. Things will get better.

Was it a woman who told you to change or go home? Maybe it was jealousy

*hugs*

You looked just wonderful Autumn.

Is there a dress code for work? You have already come out at work so if other women can dress as you did, you should also be able to. I do know that a lot of medical facilities require staff to wear scrubs or pants and not dresses. Could that have been it?

Hi Autumn and g'day ,

I transitioned at work (Hospital Ward Environment) after taking about one month off to allow the patients that new (him) to filter through.

Needless to say I encountered zero problems from most staff and patients because the standard of my work at that time was excellent.

I DID however in the early days at least come across many dress situations were I was pulled in by my Director and told clearly to modify my uniform (with the exception of the top, skirt or trousers were the option.

At that point I was absolutely certain in my mind that it was because I was ts that I had been singled out...

However on reflection and with life's journey I realise that other women were also pulled up for similar dress codes.

In my opinion and this is my opinion I believe that moreso in the early days of transition we are obviously evolving and we over think!! that it is because we are ts but in truth it is often just the price we pay for being female!!

That being female sadly carries it's own descriminations often mutes ration thinking when we think it is because we are ts etc.

Hope you are well , Michelle xx

I had to go to the court house before work, so i was me. I figured I might as well just go in.

They told me change, or go home.

Autumn you look Beautiful and I really love your hair. The dress to me seems appropriate for court. This actually angers me, this is who you are and there is nothing wrong with how you look. I would love to get together with a bunch of the lovely Lady s here and set outside that court house and protest their behavior. I could understand if the dress was really short or showed to much cleavage, but yours does not. I stand beside you girl with all of my support. You look Great!!!!!

Love Lillian

I love your willingness to let go of a bad situation and keep your eyes on what is important... Making the necessary changes, including work location, in order to get what you need to be who you are. And with a minimum of torture

Thanks for the inspiration!

This pot is kinda old... But...

I'm now completely full time, everyday, every hour. I work in scrubs so I bought a bunch of purple and pink stuff and now just wear those. Except on Friday's when I can wear jeans (Dress down day) but I sill have to wear a lab jacket. No problem. Today it's low hip hugger jeans, a tight blach tee and a white ruffle top on top.

Hint to all of you that wear low riding jeans. Low rise panties... I sat down and my red panties were sticking out from behind me. OMG!!!!!!

I have now tucked them down into my pants and pulled my shirt down as far as possible.
