I was posting a job listing for our company and wanted to make sure I was posting it in a way to make sure the local trans community was aware of it and that we are trans friendly, so I opened a chat with them about it... Take a look:

Hey Jae!

How may I assist you?

Hi Adrian

I want to make sure I am posting this job opportunity to the trans community... I googled it a bit and found some positive results, but after posting the job I don't really see anything specific to the particular community. Do you have any recommendation for posting in a more specific way to offer this job to trans people?

Adrian

Give me one moment while I take a look at this for you.

(I waited a loooonnng time for him to respond!)

I know... odd request...

transfolk need jobs too...

Adrian

No worries. Unfortunately, there's no option to target the trans community, it goes against our job guidelines in regards to discriminating other potential candidates.

I can apply a $50 credit to help cover the cost of your job ad.

ha! it's really quite the opposite, but ok

Adrian

Is there anything else that I can further assist you with?

I don't want to ONLY post to that community, I just want to be sure I'm not missing something to make sure it is available to the specific group, I saw no obvious way to list the job as trans friendly...

Adrian

Okay, definitely understood.

The job ad will also cover a 25-mile radius.

I will reach out to a couple local resources I know of and see if they can get the word out for us...

25 mile radius is a bit big... can it be narrowed?

maybe 15 miles or so?

Adrian

Once the ad goes live, you can also copy and paste the URL link to other social media platforms and caption it "trans-friendly".

that was my backup plwn...

plan... typo

Adrian

Unfortunately, the radius is only set for 25-miles, but you can include "local candidates" within the job title.

**"local candidates only"

that sounds fine... thanks for the help!

Adrian

My pleasure Jae!

Please don't hesitate to chat back if you have further questions or concerns and we'll be more than happy to assist. Have a great day!

 

 

I must have confused poor Adrian to death! I bet he is telling all his coworkers all about it right now! HA! I wish there was a better way to post this job in a way that was easier for transfolk like myself to access...

 

Squishy hugs,

Jae

You could post it at LGBT centers and on LGBT web sites.  I think its great that you're going out of your way to let the community know about the job.

Thanks!

Huge squishy hug!

 I did send an email to the local DeFrank lgbt community center, I still haven’t gotten a response yet... I may try calling them during business hours or maybe emailing a different department, but I really would like to get the word out somehow and at the moment I haven’t gotten anything from local sources that are trying to help me. 

Hugs,

Jae

      No luck there, really. She's getting a signing bonus plus a little extra that I don't think would cover much in the way of the move, but it is something!   Oh my! I am glad to hear you're not passing anymore blood. I hope they figure it out soon! How distressing!   @April Marie @KymmieL @Mirrabooka @Willow @Justine76, thank you for the kind words and thoughts! We told our best friends last night. There were many tears. Now it's all about the work: selling the house (my wife's friend's son said he may want to buy it direct!), a job (a former employee of mine wants to bring me over to his company--and they're based outside of Tacoma!), and moving (just started going through what we don't want bring and donating things). So things have kicked off.   I'm not so sure of the job, it would be good to work with my former employee (he's great) but I fear the culture may not be super welcoming to someone like me--and the guy doesn't know I'm trans in any way. But I'll give it a shot as my authentic self and see what happens!

      @LadypcnjI'm sorry. I know the feeling my mom thinks I'm going through a phase too although I didn't come out till April 17, 2023, so it was later in life. I was in denial majority of my life. I would love to hear more about this if you are comfortable sharing more of it.

      I love fashion. I have over 100 dresses and 74 pairs of shoes. My walk-in closet is full of other clothes as well. I'm getting more shorts soon. SHEIN is awesome for quality and price. Just when you get a leather coat from them it's just the shell not the liner. Most of my shoes are from Torrid because I wear size 13 women's.

      My VPN is Surf Shark. It has been good to me so far.

      Unfortunately Oklahoma is about as bad as Texas but definitely not as bad as Florida. Especially as a minor! 
    • Ashley0616
      I'm sorry @Ladypcnj I can only sympathize with you on that. Therapist on the other hand is crazy. I have had 16 in 10 years. It sucks having to have to go over things. I will say though after 6 therapists I didn't have to explain my history they simply read the history. 
    • Ashley0616
      I followed you and will give you my advice when I can. It has happened to me a lot too. If you want to you can always message me and I'll get back to you ASAP. I understand your concerns.

      Oh, my gosh! I would definitely be looking for a new primary care physician!!

      I don't use it.   One of my daughters gave me a little to experiment with, but I haven't.  My youngest tried to put some on me once, but I din't like it.  The light was pretty bad admittedly. My ex didn't use it, and my daughters didn't use it much either when they were still at home.  (If so it was very subtle) And I don't often notice it on women my age (mid 70's)   I shave every day.  But my beard is not heavy, and essentially grey, so it's not real noticeable unless you get close with good light.  I was starting to look into electrolysis, but the pandemic hit, and I just kinda dropped it.   Sometimes I do wonder about it though.

      It's something I'm just learning but I find I actually enjoy the 'craft' of it in addition to how it makes me look. Even after a fresh shave, I have a mild 5'clock shadow. For me, the primary use of makeup is to get rid of that. I'll start with the orange concealer over facial hair areas and a bit under my eyes. Liquid foundation over that and light concealer used judiciously over that (still dialing that part in). Then just a tad of powder to bring color back in certain places. There are a number of Youtube tutorials on that layering process.    I'll also pencil in my eyebrows a bit since they're blonde and otherwise not very visible. Sometimes I'll get adventurous and give mascara a try but that's a delicate skill and usually I mess it up. I don't particularly like lipstick, but just ordered a 'lip pencil' to experiment with. Hoping for a more subtle effect.

      Sunday is my weekly ablution day - all of the parts that need occasional shaving get their required attention. The weather is rainy and cool today so after the ablutions and shower, I put on blue jeans, a gray t-shirt and a black front-zip hoodie along with gray sneakers.   And, I did put on make-up, not to impress anyone but just to feel as if I'm looking my best....as good as that can be given this woman is now 69 years old.

      There are lots of us here willing to offer support, ideas, a shoulder or just a smile. Working with your therapist and finding your true self can be difficult process...but it will also be filled with wonder and joy as you discover that person who's been waiting inside you to be found.   Just know that you are not alone.
