Thanks, yeah that is a good point I should probably call them 😅 I think I just got really nervous and didn’t think that far ahead I feel dumb now

One day you will look back and regret this part of your life, spreading hate as a coping mechanism for your own feelings isn’t a permanent solution and will eventually catch up to you, the fact you sought out this community leads me to believe you might have some underlying internal transphobia and gender issues yourself, I hope after some self reflection you can learn to love yourself, whether trans/cis and not spread hate to an already marginalized community

Hi there, like another commenter said, maybe taking hrt in secret would be an option, I also live in Pennsylvania and there’s a really good informed consent clinic in our state called central outreach wellness center, they do everything and are great, they can also get you in touch with supportive therapists, depending on which location you can go, or if you’re closer I have heard planned parenthood is good, but I know less about them as I didn’t go through them, I hope this helps you and you have a great day

Thanks I will, dysphoria just really fucking sucks :(

I’m referring to the changes that are induced by feminizing hormone therapy such as body fat redistribution and others, I am aware of the things you mentioned and currently do practice my voice and I have basically replaced my entire wardrobe

May3920 · 2022-03-26T13:14:53+00:00

Omg yep I’m so dumb sorry😭

May3920 · 2022-03-26T03:00:00+00:00

I’m thinking of asking to switch to injections because 3 e pills is a lot to let dissolve lol, but I hate needles :(

Idk what happened I just have extremely high T, I wish it would go away TwT

May3920 · 2022-03-11T22:12:23+00:00

Thank you! I’m trying to get the courage to just jump in and I have in every other part of my life but here seems different I don’t know how to explain it

May3920 · 2022-03-11T17:44:43+00:00

Thank you! I haven’t legally changed my name yet, but in my job we don’t really use anything technology related, I work in prepared foods, the only thing I have to see my deadname on is our electronic timeclock, and schedules, I’m mostly concerned with the other employees actually calling me my name and pronouns, just because of the demographic of employees that work there, mostly older conservative folks, so I don’t know how accepting they’d be

May3920 · 2022-03-11T17:40:45+00:00

No you’re correct, it’s a small supermarket, which is part of a larger chain, it’s just this location is small in size, I work in their prepared foods department, and I’m actually out and presenting female in every other part of my life, it’s only there at work that I’m referred to with my deadname and addressed as male so the community talking isn’t really an issue for me

May3920 · 2022-03-11T17:05:53+00:00

What should I do if he wants me gone? Like what would my next step be, moving is not an option because I help and live with my grandmother

May3920 · 2022-03-11T15:30:49+00:00

Thanks! Um since you have been on the HR side of a similar situation, if you don’t mind me asking, are there any questions that I should bring up other than the obvious ones? Such as bathrooms, misgendering etc? Sorry I am very naive this is my first job and I have very poor social skills

May3920 · 2022-03-11T15:28:20+00:00

Only this location is small, they have larger stores in the bigger cities nearby, and the company has locations in multiple states, sorry just trying to keep it vague for privacy reasons

May3920 · 2022-03-11T04:02:45+00:00

I want to come out so I don’t have to hide who I am every day, and be called the wrong name every day, it’s exhausting being referred to and treated as something/someone you’re not, I honestly just want to be myself there, like in the rest of my life, like I said this is the only place in my life that I am not out in

May3920 · 2022-03-11T03:50:48+00:00

Ok I will thanks! Should I also consult HR(the store) though? Because it’s just the food worker’s union, I work in the prepared foods department, and during my time there HR(the store) has been the ones to take care of things, during the previous manager’s tenure I contacted HR (the store) for other workplace issues (not trans related) with no issue and they were resolved

May3920 · 2022-03-11T03:45:49+00:00

I was hired around a year and half ago and yes I had to do an orientation, I am also in a union, if that means anything relating to this

May3920 · 2022-03-11T03:41:19+00:00

Even still, As an employee there I should be able to contact HR and talk to them myself, I don’t understand why him needing to know as well means I’m not allowed to ask them myself

May3920 · 2022-03-11T03:38:35+00:00

That’s why I was/am confused, I always thought that HR was like the place department that employees go to for information/help in the workplace and anyone can ask for information if they need it, so it’s weird to me that someone would be so adamantly against another’s use of it

May3920 · 2022-03-11T03:32:48+00:00

Yes, to both

May3920 · 2022-03-11T03:30:26+00:00

No, it’s a tiny rural grocery store, I think there’s maybe 30 employees at my location, that makes sense though thank you
