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

      Welcome Violet.  It's been awhile since i found this space with so many who understand the struggle to simply be ourselves in a society that often disapproves,  It isn't an easy path but being together we can share all the bumps and the joys. You are not alone.   Hugs,   Charlize

      I'm sorry it didn't work out for the new job. Nothing to keep you from being on the search. I had a coworker who used to walk out of the locker room saying; "I was looking for a job with I found this one and I'll keep searching for the next one. Never let them think you're comfortable and settled."   The coffee has just finished brewing, and we have a HVAC technician coming in about 30 minutes to do an annual system check.   It's time to get out of my Pj's.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      @Sally Stone, I have enjoyed reading this thread immensely. There certainly are some things in it that I can relate to, particularly when you wrote that "I wasn’t a man trapped in a woman’s body." This simple statement confirmed two things for me; I am not an imposter here, and I could end up much further along the path than what I imagine now.   I very much look forward to your future posts here.   I hope that by posing this question I'm not committing you to spoil future posts, but can I ask, why you have settled on Bigender as a label? I keep changing my label and have no idea what it might be tomorrow or next week or next month!

      This whole Cass Review thing is breaking my heart. I keep imagining how it must be to be a trans kid in the UK atm. I am halfway through reading the review so that I can effectively refute it if and when people cite it here in Australia.

      One thing I took on board from a former boss who was an absolute gentleman and fluent conversationalist but a hopeless leader because he was the classic yes man to his superiors, was to take the emotion out of the equation when arguing. Don't use hyperbole. Don't exaggerate. Stick to what you know and defeat your adversary with logic. Of course, your adversary will double down and make an even bigger fool of themselves, and not even realize that they have lost the argument, nor will they realize that people are laughing at them and not with them. It also helps if you can separate them from their minions.   A conservative elderly uncle, who left school at the age of 12, swears black and blue that taking Ivermectin (sheep dip) prevents Covid because he knew someone who knew someone else who took it and despite that person being momentarily in close contact with people who had Covid, didn't come down with it. "Well, you're the one with the science degree!" I said.   A lot of people argue out of ignorance. They base their points on populism and rumor. I rarely argue, but when I do, it is in an attempt to push back. Another favorite saying that I use is "Rumors are started by haters, spread by fools and believed by idiots." I then ask, "Which two are you?" 😉

      Good morning, all!!! Cloudy today with some light rain coming. Not a day to work outside.   I will vacuum the house and the head out to our local hardware store after I get cleaned up. Time to buy a new bird feeder for the back porch.   I'm sorry the job didn't work @KymmieL! Hang in there.   It sounds like a busy time for you at work @Willow. Finding reliable people is so hard these days.   Time for another cup of coffee before I start cleaning!!   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.

      Nostalgia is an emotion. It is the feeling of enjoying events from the past. People with nostalgia will often look at or use old things that they were familiar with years ago. This is because people feel more connected to those past times that they enjoyed, usually because it reminds them of how long it has been since they last connected to such past times. Examples where people may have the feeling of nostalgia includes watching old TV shows, using old technology that was very enjoyable, and playing with toys that you played with as a child. These memories are usually misleading, and can make someone wish that they could be young again, even if their childhood was mediocre. Human brains often leave out boring or bad memories, which can cause incorrect feelings about their childhood.
