Hi Ladies,

So I have been on HRT for almost two weeks. Thursday I spoke to my companies HR department and informed them of my transition. Nothing but support there. Friday I sent an email to my upper management team and received nothing but support from them. Now here's the hard part, I work as the site security supervisor at a client's site. I have spoken with three of my staff and their supportive. Now I have to speak with the client and then the almost 100 employees that work at the clients site. Any suggestions on how to go about this last part?

Hugs to you all

First of all, let me congratulate you on starting HRT.  There is so much to look forward to.  it's going to be a time filled with changes.  I hope all good ones.

As to your question, when you talk with the client, why not ask them for their advice.  They know their staff, and they should have a role to play.  You can certainly ask them for their assistance and support with the process.  Perhaps they can put out a memo to the staff, or have a meeting at which you can speak.  Most importantly, they should express their support for you, and provide leadership.  It should not all be on your plate to manage.

HUGS

Hi Ladies, 

So, on Monday I talked to the two people who are in charge of the Client site. I was so nervous. They thought I wanted to tell them I was leaving. When I told them I am transgender and working on my transition they said "Oh, good your not leaving us" and they told me they support me and will take care of any issues with the employee's if any accrue. 

This has been a great Journey so far for me. Nothing but support from everyone I have came out to. 

Have a wonderful day. 

Hugs

Good morning, 

Wow, almost 5 months on HRT and have come out to more than half of the 120 or so employees at work. So far only one person has said that they disagree with it. He also said he can't judge anyone and that people should be happy. 

Thus far my journey has been so amazing. I feel so blessed to live in such an excepting area. I hope all of you are as blessed in your journeys as well. 

Hugs

That's wonderful, Shawna!

I'm just starting to come out and aside from my dad, work is the one in a bit nervous about. It's very nice to hear that you've had a good experience.

Wow, it's been a year on HRT. I have come a long way in a year. If you told me I would still be on cloud 9 back then, I wouldn't have believed you. But here I am and still feeling great. Thank you all for being here and supporting me through this last year. I am looking forward to the things to come. 

 

Hugs

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?

      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?

      Congrats to your family on the new addition!

      Funny you think that I would be able to get through more than two sentences with how bad my stutter gets (joking, of course)   My topic would probably be mythology, random Japan factoids in my mind, or a favorite story   (Best option would be a fave story of mine including a lot of factoids on Japanese myths-)

      Congratulations @ivy. Nothing beats a family growing two feet at a time!

      I read each of your entries and learn so much. Thank you, especially, for the TransCentralPA info. I have been looking fora group and activities where I could express myself safely and with support. I missed this year's conference but next year might be possible and I am going to look at their other events, too.

      I have read numerous accounts of trans folk no longer being welcome among evangelicals.   I am here for help and fellowship not to rebuke anyone.  I can take a pretty high degree of insult, etc., and you haven't insulted me, to my recollection anyway :) and I usually let it go.  But I thought I would let it all out there.   I am sure I disagree with you on numerous issues.  I appreciate other people's viewpoints, including those who radically disagree with me.  Intellectual challenge is good. One thing I appreciate about @MaeBe.

      Congrats!
