    Idk why my post didn’t post earlier. But it’s so nice not having had to do a “coming out” at this new job. They asked me what my preferred name and pronouns were when I put in my application, and from what I’ve seen so far, it seems like my name in all of the systems is my preferred name and I only had to use the legal one for, well, legal reasons. I keep being referred to with she/her pronouns in emails and stuff, and it’s so nice that I didn’t have to ask for it. And no one has been weird in zoom calls yet. I’m being treated completely and entirely as a woman. I don’t really know how to describe it, because all of my friends treat me like a woman, but I think the difference is that I had to come out to them. I just got this job, walked in the proverbial (online) doors and from day 1 I’m just a woman. It feels incredible.

      100-com I switched jobs after I started socially transitioning so that I could a) be sure I was going to be at a job where me being trans was not going to be a problem and b) so that I wouldn’t have to come out at my old job where I already knew that my boss’s boss was transphobic. Though part of me now wished I had come out there once I had already secured a new job just to blow everyone’s minds. I was already out to some of my coworkers who I was friends with outside of work, I know I would’ve gotten support from them during my last couple weeks.
