Hi Claire,

I think things will go a lot smoother than you think, especially if your coworkers have been notified. It shouldn't be a big shock and people will get used to it withing a couple weeks.

Good Luck!

Hi Claire,

I am sure that everything will go well for you.

I am looking forward to reading your Posts describing how well things went at work.

The main thing that your co-workers need to accept is that you are still the same person except for your outward appearance.

If England is anything like New York, You will be accepted like any other female worker without any comments.

Be Confident in yourself and everything will fall into place and you will be happy at work.

Congratulations on your new life.

Hugs,

Carla

As long as you will be getting paid, getting nervous is not the big issue it could be. Happy paycheck as your true self.

I think it will be a wonderful day for Claire. You are going to be amazed at the support that your coworkers give you and very surprised by some who you never thought of as supportive, being very kind to you.

I can't wait to hear the report about Claire's first day of work!

Hi Claire,

There's probably no way to get rid of those opening day jitters - I know I couldn't. But, 10 minutes after I was on the job, it was over.

Best of luck to you, and, yes, please let us know how it went!

Love, Megan

As self-employed, it was a little different for me, but my experience echoes that of others on here. On my first professional day, the jitters passed after I realized that nothing bad was happening.

Just yesterday, too :)

Hi All

As you all suspected it was pretty much a non event, a few got my name wrong and were more worried about it than I was, everybody I met was welcoming & supportive. I'll slowly go around the various departments and make myself known. When the boss gave a me a couple of projects to do I commented that he didn't give the new girl much of a chance to settle in :). One of the team is having a birthday drink on Friday evening so I'll get the whole seeing me in a skirt out of the way quickly. The highlight was I went to the toilet and a collegue went as well, when he saw where I was going he turned around (the closest ones are single cubicle). When I saw him turn around I pointed out I used the ladies now.

Love

Claire

Hi All

Just to say the week went very well, there were a few slipups with my name but thoese who got it wrong were more upset than I was. The week finished with a night out to celibrate a birthday so they got to see me in a skirt and girly top. The wives & girlfriends who where ther (a couple of whom I hadn't met before) all treated me as one of the girls- Why did I choose Claire & how do I get shoes that fit were the most frequent questions. The students are back on the 16th and I'm ready to face them

Love

Claire

I wish you the best! I remember my first day vividly still (5 months ago). I was prepared, felt good about how I looked, and I wasn't nervous -- I was thrilled and happy! This was just the beginning, the first day of being able to be myself at my workplace! Smile and let your happiness show. You'll shine all over the place. Hugz.

      What's for dinner?

      By Birdie · Posted

      Woke up early to prepare Mexican food for lunch as I had a friend coming over, but he forgot today is mother's day and cancelled.    Looks like I'll be eating Mexican food for dinner tonight.

      Political candidate, who linked pedophiles with LGBTQIA+, gains preselection approval.

      By VickySGV · Posted

      My condolences to the people of WA.  A huge warning about that type of politician though, those who broadcast the Anti-Trans message rarely if ever attend to any important legislative issues to benefit their constituency.  They are mostly single trick dogs, whose trick is to empty their food bowl and whine for more food.

      This stuff seems to be the major talking point for "conservatives" these days.  Just shows that they don't know what they're talking about, and don't particularly care.

      By Mirrabooka · Posted

      Mother's Day, so I thought I'd do the right thing and cook. So, we got Chinese takeaway! 😆   Actually, we planned it days ago, just thinking that tonight we would treat ourselves. Complete with a lovely bottle of Cab Sav.

      Exactly.   A plain old "Good morning" should always suffice, for example, whether the recipient expects a gender specific greeting or not.

      Hi awkward yet sweet, yeah, I tried dumping her but my current health insurance keeps directing me back to her as my primary, yet there are other doctors to choose from, but they are far away.

      By Mirrabooka · Posted

      This sort of stuff makes my blood boil. A prospective state politician has gained approval from his party's state council to run in their state election next year.   He once stated that the + part of LGBTQIA+ is where pedophiles are categorized.   For clarity, in Australia the Liberal party is our main conservative party. They have lurched further to the right over the past 10 years or so. Our main progressive, union backed party is Labor.   WA Liberal party approves Dr Thomas Brough, candidate who linked LGBTQIA+ community with paedophiles - ABC News

      Happy Mother’s Day    I have to be at church earlier than normal for a mic check.  I have been going over what I am to say, both silently reading and reading it aloud.  My concern is that my voice will freeze as it sometimes does.     I felt I was honored very highly yesterday by my minister and supporter on my journey.  He and another minister are Standing together to become the next co-moderators of the Presbyterian Church (USA).  They included me to receive an advance copy of their initial submission.  I was one of only 6 people listed on the email to receive this.  Later this week it will go out to all the voting commissioners that will be in Salt Lake City for the meeting.  I have asked to be allowed to attend the meeting to support him and Rev CeeCee Armstrong, whom he is standing with.    We’ll time to get ready .   Willow

      Nup. Not an option. You need to keep going and keep us all in the loop, and we need to keep seeing your beautiful smile!   Party, schmarty. I'm 61 and haven't had a birthday party since I was 30. Even that was just a crummy meal at the pub with a few friends who we have since lost contact with. Don't sweat it.

      On behalf of everyone reading your entries here @Sally Stone, THANK YOU for creating such an informative thread. But there is one thing you might have neglected to say at the end, and that is, "And they all lived happily ever after!" ❤️   Reno sounds like a pretty good place to call home. I understand the attraction of living in a place that is not too big but not too small.   I look forward to reading your subsequent posts about specific aspects of your journey.
