Just curious, I'm mtf and six months into HRT. Only my wife knows everything and supports me all the way. I can still pass as male as things slowly progress and love my job as a truck driver, there are no female drivers within our company. I can't think of a more wrong job for a trans female......... Lol. Would love to hear of anybody else in a similar situation male or female. Hugs Scarlett
Could you maybe switch jobs, if you dont feel comfortable there? As a student, I guess it works out alright. But its hard enough to be a cis-girl with all tye gossip and rumors. Let alone being trans like me. Ah well.
Well, my job's perfect for me. I'm a freelance writer and I usually telecommute with all my projects. No one has to know I'm trans unless I tell them. And if I do want to tell anyone, writing's a good platform to get the word out there.
I'm studying to be a translator, so I'm gonna be a trans translator Ok, bad pun is bad... (Though, seriously, even if there are more females in my fields, there are still a couple of guys too)
Well, I originally wanted to go into television sports production, but they are not really trans friendly in that field. So, now I'm hoping to go into news. My field usually has more men in it (Although that is changing). So, I transitioned into the majority in my field...
I don't have a job but I feel like when I move out and work at McDonald's it isn't going to really be a fit for me. Way too many customers and all the judgment. Blah.
I work in an office with a bunch of women. Actually, the only guys in the office are the one in the mail room, and one gay guy on the other side of the office. The ladies I work with don't know I'm trans, but they do know I'm not a typical guy...
No, I am not out at work, either with my sexuality or my gender, because the people I work with are terrible. Almost all of them are conservatives, and almost a third of them listen to Rush Limbaugh on a regular basis.
This. I'm not in nor out of any closet : They do see me, and they don't make it harder nor easier for me... We all fuck it up from time to time equally, regardless of gender and orientation.
I think to some degree everyone who is trans* is going to feel some "out of place" emotions about their jobs. Some will definitely feel it more than others depending on the sex distribution of co-workers but even my job as a paralegal, which has traditionally been done by mostly women, feels out of place for me when I think about presenting as female at work. I've only just begun HRT so it will be some time before I can actively present as female but I still feel anxious that I won't be accepted or understood (even despite the fact that every single paralegal or legal assistant at my job is female). I think you should keep your job if you like it. If nothing else, I would think that most of the time you are at work you are probably alone in your truck, right? So what does it matter in the long run.
