After 5 months, I guess I’ve fully cracked. Now I’m wondering about updating my professional website, that cesspool LinkedIn, etc.
I’m a Dev (yes, I use Arch) and I used to teach. I guess I’m nervous about having to tell my old students and coworkers.
I’d love to hear strategies, lessons learned, or anything that made the process smoother.
I was on hormones over a year without saying anything, coming in to work with face swollen up from laser hair removal, and just never said anything even when people started making subtle prompts that they’d like to know more about it.
My coworkers were great but leadership had done another trans person wrong so I switched jobs. I didn’t present very feminine in the interview but used my chosen name and said I intended to socially transition after I started working there and if they didn’t want to deal with that they shouldn’t hire me. They sent me their offer so I quit the place with bad leadership and the rest was history
