I do have two coworkers that weren't there today that I will tell myself in the morning.
I had no negative responses. Who knows what people are thinking deep down but at least where I work it is politically incorrect to bash trans people.  , so I won't have to hear the comments.
Tomorrow my preferred name will be my email address and throughout most of our system.
I feel very fortunate to have the support at work, you all here, and of course tantalizingfemme.
Thanks, all. |
I am super glad to hear that you had no negative responses from work. I know what a great feeling it is to come out at work and to have it go well. I have had to do it at a few different companies now. So I am super happy for you.

Our 18 yr old son (ftm)is really having a hard time right now. We are trying to find a therapist for him, but not having much luck. it hurts my heart so much to see him struggle. Ethan helps when He can, but, He came out many years ago and did not have the same road our son is travelling on..
Our son wants to take T, get top surgery, get a hysterectomy,.. but doesn't know how to begin.
He has such dysphoria, that when he has to take his shirt and binder off, he cries.
Any ideas?
He is 18, but, he is still in high school and we are still 100 % supporting him in everything

I am sorry to hear that your son is having such a hard time. I totally understand. I can't express enough how much help it was to finally start taking T. So the sooner he can get that going the better. I would start with the therapist, after one or two sessions, I would say he can easily get a letter from them to give to a physician. The therapist might even be able to suggest a local doctor that can work with him. I see that Liam gave you a most awesome list of people to start with. I wish him the best, I understand how rough it can be, I hate seeing myself in the mirror with a shirt off. I am finally just now getting to a point that I feel comfortable looking in the mirror even with clothes on.
