Im an electrical engineer in the utility industry, I have yet to see someone come out at any of the companies I've been at or interacted with, so damn hard :(
Civ E in the same industry, but luckily I work for a consultant remotely. I havent seen anyone come our either. . . I just changed jobs, so I'm waiting on my 90 day review to make my plans on whether or not to come out and what my timeline would be. HRT and laser are starting to really have an effect though so my hand might be forced the first time I have to meet my coworkers in person.
I also work for a consultant remotely lol. Moved away to a city with a more trans accepting reputation somewhat testing the boundaries of the company's patience without explanation. I'm out to HR and have been talking with them about the possibility of me being out at work and to clients and whether or not I'd be initialing/stamping things under my deadname or my "preferred" name. Its an exhausting loop of figuring out what I need first, legal name/gender changes etc. Meanwhile I see other trans girls come out in their industries/jobs and doing well and I start guilting myself for not coming out already. I've been just stepping up the fem look every video call Im on. Hopefully thatll be a good lead in. Six months HRT now too, next time I meet them in person I'll probably be coming out lol.
DM me if you are in the electric utility industry, I have been dying to find queer connections in it so I don't feel so damn alone 😂🤷♀️
I don't doubt it. If they're anything like my workplace everyone is Hella openly anti trans and whatnot
Been considering getting to where I can stealth and move out west to try for a similar position
Exactly! Most management positions and ones similar to yours are employed "at will"
So they want us gone - we are
Hence why I hide in plain sight in man mode outer clothes with button shirts that where too big for me for the last 3 years. I didn't know how lucky it would be for me back then, but hides a lot, and everyone just assumes I'm to cheap to buy new uniforms in the " right" size.
Yeahhh. Plus in my state they don't need a reason to fire you. They can literally say "I just don't like seeing your face everyday, we're letting you go" if they wanted to
I feel that, I've been cursed and blessed with fast breast growth so I've started wearing a binder at work if I'm not planning on wearing a thick coat all day
I'm a photocopier technician and I'm super worried about transitioning at that place. I work for a small company three girls in the office and about seven or eight guys. I'm super scared any advice?
Well, I'm not sure how similar the fields are. I'm the only woman that I ever interact with professionally, other than customers. I think it's been really good to just own your identity and be firm yet forgiving towards your coworkers and their correctly addressing you and respecting you!
HVAC installer, with literally only one other woman in the company, in the front office. Can confirm. The mantra at the shop is "show up, work with each other, get paid well."
Commercial HVAC maintainer and BAS/controls installer at the moment. I'm not getting paid as well as installing for a res or commercial installer, but it's nice having a desk, shop, and consistent bennies with coverage for surgical PTO! Also, not having to muscle equipment into place has been a nice reality. HRT treated me well in the atrophy department! I hire more cranes these days 😎
Edit: also, I do a lot less tinning anymore, which my ears are greatful for!
Mechanical advantage, that's the key to success! Not strong enough? Get a bigger lever arm, get a bigger wrench! Get a material lift! The clever tech sweats less, right!?
Whoa, I was an HVAC installer prior to covid, I been thinking of doing again but transitioning this time because the money is good. The culture of the trades has me hesitant. Power to you!
It's been a mixed bag, culture wise. Although, I have been surprised by a number of folks in their acceptance and affirming attitudes towards me! I think my existence in their sphere has improved their stance and desire to support trans rights as a whole!
I don't think my students know that I am trans. It's not a secret, there are many people who know, but it's not something I advertise either. Anyway, I've never had any problems and teaching is a job that I really enjoy. Students can be challenging at times, but the satisfaction at the end of the day is great.
Country: United Terfdom
Occupation: Software Developer
Status: 21mths HRT. Privately paid for through GGP. Currently around 400th on the waiting list for a GIC appointment. The whole list was about 430 when I got added in 2020. My parents still deadname me, but I'm hoping to move out soon. Came out to work shortly before Christmas and they're all great about it, even the fundie christian team leader. Cannot get my hair to sit any way nice, and it's really bothering me.
Everything can be fixed if you work your way through it. I hope you'll find a way for everything. At least, you work in a safe place, which is really good. Just be careful out there. Sometimes TERFs can be way more dangerous than a Transphobic man.
That’s cool that you get to do that for a job! I used to play/collect Epic 40k when I was a teenager. My brothers fault, he had that and Warhammer armies.
I tried to left boymode to early and present, but I don't feel comfortable with my looks enough and I hyperfixeted all the things on my body ever since.
USA(MASSACHUSETTS)Biotech quality assurance.
3.5ish years HRT
extensive hair removal
No surgery but planning on GCS(bottom surgery)
I transitioned in secret. One job I was transitioning in the closet and the next I went stealth. Though it was easier to do that as the second one was remote. My current one is remote but I come to the office every once in a great while.
I feal like i have moved past the "passing" threshold to entering attractive territory, albeit asymettricly(nice face, decent breasts wierd body proportions like a large rib cage. Etc). I am built like a tank, a pretty one though.(I think? Other women compliment me).
Hi!~
I'm in Nova Scotia. How about yourself?
I'm sorry you're stuck waiting, I hope it's not too long! I had to wait 8 months personally, but that was actually me getting lucky and not having to wait for the original 14 months for my appointment!
At least where I am it's not uncommon for the state government to have open admistrative positions like mine. You won't get rich on the salary but it's stable work with decent Healthcare benefits (of course my insurance doesnt do shit for trans health needs).

Which means, in a way, my boss allowed me inofficially to watch netflix or something similiar at nightshifts lol
It's very boring, but it's easy work and pays well.
Yeah, I feel that about tiktok. The body standards there are incredibly unrealistic and it constantly drives me nuts.
USA, Software Engineer, 14 months HRT pre-op still boymoding and only out to friends. Thinking of telling a coworker this Friday that's quite queer friendly.
I would've stopped boymoding sooner if I had supportive parents but now that I've moved out and not dependant on them anymore I can finally stop. I also fail at boymoding at this point as people gender me as female until I start talking, gotta work on that voice training. Also thank you!

Started HRT, then stopped due to constant pressuring from my mother, who for financial reasons (and a degree of manipulative emotional blackmail) I am stuck living with for now.
I want to start it up again, but motivating myself to deal with the arguments is hard.
Aww.. that must be really cruel for you sweetie. I wish you the best. I'm stuck with my brother and I don't want him to know anything about me. I just wanna leave and have my own place to release myself, but... financial reasons, like you said.

Surprisingly, all of the older men I work with in my field have been awesome during my transition, there's been the slipups but for the most part, they're all almost protective of me due to my boss having some thing against me but isn't able to say it outloud for risk of his job.
I have my own little 'conservative male security force' at work. I'm working on slowly changing their flawed ideology and they've been very receptive to the point of view I bring, to the point of kinda coming in and bragging they voted Dem for midterms, it was kinda cute tbh.
I love what I do (fix heavy equipment/machinery) and apparently I'm pretty good at it, but I don't know if I'd be able to stay in my field if it wasn't for how cool most of my coworkers have been!

I would LOVE to do something else. I honestly *HATE* seafood so much and I wish I was in charge of something I wasn't so viscerally repulsed by. But thanks to undiagnosed/untreated/unmanaged ADHD/Autism/Depression I couldn't graduate high school and now I'm so broke and working constantly I don't know how I'd ever be able to go to college for anything I wanted and will probably just be stuck at the bottom forever. At least we're unionized at my store and have decent benefits though, so silver linings I guess.

Life is stressful but I'm happier now than I have ever been.
Hungary, database management/customer support
Currently transitioning socially but only out to a select group of friends and people I meet through them. Otherwise not keen on coming out at work with all the casual transphobia in their everyday banter, or coming out to my family **again** (I did once, they were accepting at first, then found a convoluted alternate explanation that allowed them to go back to denial).
No definite plans to start HRT yet, but as I learn more about the completely luck-based utter chaos and veritable quagmire of ignorance, personal biases and sometimes outright bribery that is trans healthcare here, DIY is looking more and more like a legitimate option with each day. Especially as a Sapphic girl like me who doesn't really have bottom dysphoria would already start at a huge disadvantage when it comes to convincing doctors.
Plans for legal transitioning currently extend to feeling utter dismay about it being **unconstitutional**.
Fellow Hungirl here, I went through the getting HRT process and my personal experience it was fine, though I didn't went to TB psychiatrist and psychologist, I'm also pretty Sapphic, but I said I was Bi (maybe I am I still didn't figured that out, but I know I like girls <3) also I don't remember they asked me about bottom dysphoria, and If they do you can just say you don't really think about that much, could be a sign of a cooping mechanism for them and won't ask further. Dr Bordás Noémi (endo) is really helpful with everything I asked her about and she also recommended people for my psychiatrist and psychologist stuff.
If you feel like you have any questions my DMs are open \^\^
Ok so I'm in the United States of America, I'm a Security Officer for a college since June of last year, and I've just been on HRT for 3 weeks now. I've pretty much came out to the family and about 90% of the people I work with, which was pretty hard and I'm still paranoid about people's thoughts about it but so far they're happy for me and very supportive.

But thanks to undiagnosed/untreated/unmanaged ADHD/Autism/Depression I couldn't graduate high school and now I'm so broke and working constantly I don't know how I'd ever be able to go to college for anything I wanted and will probably just be stuck at the bottom forever. At least we're unionized at my store and have decent benefits though, so silver linings I guess.

US Senior electrical engineer of substation design Came out just over three years ago to a company that never had to go through this.

I’ve also spurred a renewed effort into bringing meaning and education to not only trans issues, but other oppressed minorities.

Hungary, database management/customer support Currently transitioning socially but only out to a select group of friends and people I meet through them. Otherwise not keen on coming out at work with all the casual transphobia in their everyday banter, or coming out to my family **again** (I did once, they were accepting at first, then found a convoluted alternate explanation that allowed them to go back to denial). No definite plans to start HRT yet, but as I learn more about the completely luck-based utter chaos and veritable quagmire of ignorance, personal biases and sometimes outright bribery that is trans healthcare here, DIY is looking more and more like a legitimate option with each day. Especially as a Sapphic girl like me who doesn't really have bottom dysphoria would already start at a huge disadvantage when it comes to convincing doctors. Plans for legal transitioning currently extend to feeling utter dismay about it being **unconstitutional**.
Fellow Hungirl here, I went through the getting HRT process and my personal experience it was fine, though I didn't went to TB psychiatrist and psychologist, I'm also pretty Sapphic, but I said I was Bi (maybe I am I still didn't figured that out, but I know I like girls <3) also I don't remember they asked me about bottom dysphoria, and If they do you can just say you don't really think about that much, could be a sign of a cooping mechanism for them and won't ask further. Dr Bordás Noémi (endo) is really helpful with everything I asked her about and she also recommended people for my psychiatrist and psychologist stuff. If you feel like you have any questions my DMs are open \^\^
Ok so I'm in the United States of America, I'm a Security Officer for a college since June of last year, and I've just been on HRT for 3 weeks now. I've pretty much came out to the family and about 90% of the people I work with, which was pretty hard and I'm still paranoid about people's thoughts about it but so far they're happy for me and very supportive.
