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!?

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!

 

Hugs

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.

      It doesn't just seem that it is, it actually is. aging trans people are left out of nearly 90% of all the help said to be available to transgender people.   Here in Texas, there are not many, if any actually created for aging transgender people. Planned Parenthood pretty much has only been active for trans youth, primarily, as of late. I can't even find legal help for discrimination cases that would help by allowing me to show that it is trans care related. By the way, I don't qualify for medicare as I am turning 55 this year. I also can't get Medicaid either.    Trans youths are not the only ones needing help. Aging trans need just as much help, BUT, are pushed aside as though we as older transgender people, do not matter. I agree the youth are our future, but until the youth decides to listen to what is being taught to them instead of thinking they know everything, the youth of the nation will be our demise.

      Wednesday CNA was rather agreeable today (unusual for her). She basically just stated, "you really need to read your bible." I answered, "yes thank you, I do!"   She wanted to tighten my bra bands and I told her I don't like them too tight.  She said, "oh yeah, yours are just fat and not milk ducts so they aren't heavy."   That started into a conversation about how a bra works, and that the band/gore support the majority of the weight. The bands just helps keep things aligned.    Also, my mammograms say, "scattered fibroglandular tissue" just like a third of women out there. They most definitely have milk glands.

      I have to wonder if interstate commerce laws might be violated here.    Hugs,   Charlize

      This tread is based on the titling of a bill.  That is what the judges ruling spoke to.  Please keep on topic.  If one wishes to write about rest room funding one can start a topic.      Pity the title did not also mention restricting the rights of the parents who support their children.  Perhaps that is only important if a child tries to speak to a teacher about gender issues.  Then, suddenly, parental rights become important.   Hugs,   Charlize

      What do you do when you feel triggered?

      WEARINESS When stress from adverse or challenging events in life occur continually, you can find yourself in a state of feeling emotionally worn out and drained. This is called emotional exhaustion. For most people, emotional exhaustion tends to build up slowly over time.

      I am glad your schools are flush with excess spending money, but that is not the situation here in CA.  Back in 1978 an Initiative and Referendum law was passed that limited property taxes severely and basically cut funding from Property Taxes to pennies of the amounts needed to even minimally fund school districts.  Even the U.S. Supreme Court which upheld the law on Federal and Constitutional grounds nevertheless wryly commented in its decision that the state electorate had lost its collective mind in enacting the law.  Our schools are funded through the State's General Fund which receives other tax sources for creating the entire state budget. The General Fund and the legislature try to give  adequate funding  to the primary and secondary school districts as well as college districts and other obligations all from the same limited funds. There are also strict limits on assessing property taxes that actually prevent them from paying for other services directly affecting property ownership which is their proper place, and so even property related services come from our General Fund. Your property tax money seems to be ear-marked for schools which is wonderful and I hope they use it according to your thoughts, but as said we have a different problem out here in CA.  I love my state but do recognize its short comings.  Point of information, the tax law that is creating problems came from the same small area of the state as the proposed referendum on Trans Youth.
