When I started to consider transition one of my biggest fears was transition in my current company. It is not exactly the most open and friendly environment to undergo transition in. I quietly started looking around for one that has a better culture for its employees and I think I found it!

 

Just wrapped up my final interview and one of the questions they asked was how will you handle having a transgender woman as one of your direct reports? This question warmed my heart and come to find out I will indeed have just that. The company has very progressive policies around gender and sexuality. Especially when you consider our Midwest location. 

 

I figure that making the switch now then slowly starting my transition at work down the road will be much more comfortable there. The best part is I get to stick with Frontline leadership! I love helping to impact the careers of others and the position is perfect. 

 

Feeling better today than I have in a while!

 

Hugs!?

Wow! Awesome! I am so jealous! They are going to get one great employee, and a cute one at that!

The concept that you managed to find a company that not only has an openly trans woman in a position of power, but also puts the thought and time in to make sure that potential hires aren't going to cause trouble over it, is probably one of the most inspiring things a person can start their day to. I hope you get to have a lot of chipper mornings with these people.

Today marks the end of my time with my current employer and I will be starting on Monday with the new one. It's an exciting change to say the least! I'm so thankful that I was able to find a company that is open minded to our community. Wish me luck!!!

 

Great benefits too!

That was as a short notice.  You have a couple of days to relax and prepare for your new adventure.  Congratulations!

I transitioned in retirement but certainly can understand how great it must feel to be with an employer who will offer acceptance and hopefully support.  That is certainly good news.

Thank you for the warm thoughts Charlize! This is so important to me. I've been living life full time every where except work and family get togethers. I'll be taking my time with coming out at work as I feel it is important to show my value as an employee first. 

 

I'll be starting HRT in the next couple of months as well so this should help me move things along. 

 

Big hugs!

Congratulations Jennylynn!  It sounds like you found a good place.  Fining a place like that can be difficult.  Before I left my last company, I had a total of 5 trans employees.  Must have been something if the water.  LOL

Thank you Briana! I know it has become more common for both mtf and ftm to come out but to be honest since coming out with my wife I have met so many trans people! It was a bit of a shock.

 

Hugs,

Yesterday I filled out an application for part time employment for a company that is trans friendly. I talked to the HR manager about being trans and was told that not only is she fine with that, but they already have two trans employees working there.

I got a call on Friday and scheduled an interview on Monday. Since I have past experience I'm sure that it will go well.
