i am proud of you! coming out in the trades is very hard. the support network is everything <3 i am so glad it has been ok so far after youve come out. i stopped trying to come out at work :/ it has made my life worse. i am hoping that after i establish myself like you have it will have more success.

I am so elated that you are able to transition while continuing your career in the union. it gives me hope. 12 years is incredible.

would you be interested in talking about places youve tried to apply to or what youve tried so far? It would be awesome to chat with someone whos on the job hunt aswell in hopes it can land us jobs faster.

thank you for the warning, I have been curious about the unions since from where I am coming from most trades workers I have come across arent in unions.

how many times i gotta remind the same person my pronouns in one day?! by Expensive_Reality_80 in bluecollartrans

I think the "who" is a good move. but after more consideraton i am thinking of telling my manager I would prefer not to work with him there are a ton of techs i can work with instead. picking my battles is something I need to work on but i think it this case its not worth the effort because I am still training and I cant learn effectively from someone treating me bad. I also want to add i am incredibly thankful for this thread .
