A former coworker tried to out me with this http://www.newsoptimist.ca/news/local-news/transgender-day-of-remembrance-marked-1.23102077                         While I was off work for a surgery ans subsiquent DVT today I needed to drop off some papers at work and one of my coworkers said so you were in the paper I cautiously replied yes he said k------ sent us the picture so everyone at work knows and are fine with it my foreman said I cant wear shirts in the shop I still have to deal with HR but I was getting that in place already

That's great, BobbiSue, that your colleagues are so supportive.  Congrats!

 

I had a similar experience.  My ex-supervisor found out about my pending transition before HR and I were ready to announce it.  He went to my former colleagues he thought would be of like mind and outed me.  Every single one he approached wouldn't bite, and in turn told HR and me what he was trying to do.  He got caught red handed, but management protected him and he didn't suffer for it.  But he, and I, found out who the staff was really loyal to.

 

HUGS

I'm glad Bobbisue :)

 

I think the one time it may have happened to me was when people at work and in my art group said that I had been caught on TV when in the city. As perhaps the first place 'Tracy' was mentioned by me by name was at work some time previous it was irrelevant no matter how I was dressed, but it shows that things can become public in an instant.

That's wonderful!  Odd how accidents and the acts of others can bring us closer th being able to be ourselves as we wish.  I'm glad it went so well for you!

 

Hugs,

      Here is space for discussion on this, since the topic is large and could derail another thread SOMEBODY started.   Could some dear, sweet, kind Moderator pull everything related to this from the Voting for Trump thread and put it here?  I don't know if you can do that; I am the new girl on the block after all (blinks sweetly).

      Good morning everyone,   It’s Thursday well as least I took my Thursday Medications as sorted out in my weekly dispensary caddy. Today’s coffee is Folgers Breakfast Blend served HOT, black and strong. My wife and I are going to explore the Western and Southern coasts of Saginaw Bay and hang out in Bay City, MI. today.    @Willowonce @Abigail Genevievepointed out the word usage in your post. I read it and laughed, enjoying the snarky tone of the comment. Since it was spelled correctly I thought maybe you meant for it to read just as you typed it. Then the kinder gentler me thought it would be better if I changed it. I’m not saying I corrected it, I just changed the severity of the sentence.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Things are moving quickly now that I have my drivers license and social security card in my new name. It was really affirming when I got my first paycheck in my new name.

      Amazingly I have found many cis women are absolutely wrong in their assumptions about bra fittings. I knew an elderly lady that said, "I have been a C cup since school, I just buy a bigger band size as my breasts grow." This is completely WRONG as the band should always fit snug with they gore firmly against the chest.    One of CNA's came into Torrid and I helped her pick out a new bra. She didn't even understand band size was inches and cups/band combo were based off Victorian shirt sizes.  She said, "how do you know so much?"   We found her proper fitting band size, then found a cup she fit.    How can people that take the vast majority of bra users know so little about them? Seems most cis women just use "try it on" only.

      100s Of Women Athletes Urge the NCAA Not To Ban Trans Women From Collegiate Sports

      By Ivy · Posted

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?
