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.

 

Hugs,

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,

Jenny

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.

      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?
