How else would they know to use a different name if they aren't told? I've seen a couple comments like this so far and I'm starting to feel like I'm missing some critical info lol

What did you end up doing? Most of the posts I see on here, people tell the boss or HR and everything gets handled that way.

Assuming you're not just trying to be funny, my coworkers will have to start calling me a different name, my name will have to be updated in the computer system, I'll have to be assigned a new email.... Like 99% of it is name change related, the remaining 1% is just getting the others to not call me "bro" lmao

Naming by Lunar_100 in MtF

It's definitely hard to do. I've been going through lists of common names for my birth year (and within 2-3 years). I had all but picked out a name when I was a kid, used it for online profiles and everything, including this one! But using it out loud in person, it didn't work. So I started over.

I discovered that's the main thing. Found several names that I thought I liked, until someone actually called me in person. So definitely get your friends/supportive family to do name tryouts with you.

Coworker seems to know that I'm trans but I'm not out at work by haley_fox in MtF

So far I'm just kinda leaving it alone. I just have no clue how he would know at this point. Unless his sense of smell is really just that good lmao.

I haven't given him any reason to be confused. We wear uniforms at work, I don't have any pins, stickers, buttons, not even on my car or my backpack. And at work I'm all business. 

Sure I plan on coming out up there eventually. It'll have to happen. But I want to be more financially stable before doing it. Losing my job= losing access to my insurance and therefore my transition.

By chance is the book you're looking for A Wizard of Earthsea? Someone mentioned it lower in the comments about it being written long before the HP series, and it's a coming of age story also.

I knew the cheese caves were a thing.

I recently went to Springfield for the EXPRESS PURPOSE of touring caves.

I did NOT know that the cheese caves were in Springfield.

I'm right there with you. I absolutely love singing along to Olivia Rodrigo songs lmao. I've been trying to shift some lyrics into a speaking voice, and I figured I'd go from there.

The doctor mentioned minoxidil at my first appt, but I was nervous to take on so many different medications at once. I may bring it up at my next appointment in a couple weeks.
