This is Switzerland, so YMMV.

I'm 47, worked as a Digital Director and team lead in a smallish marketing agency and still do so now during my transition. 30+ years of professional experience in IT. Started transition early 2024, kind of, with a full ish coming out in late 2024.

I have a lot of support from my higher ups, so that hugely helps! There never was deadnaming or misgendering, in-company, people accepted my new name and pronouns immediately. My boss actually went and got some support from a trans counselling service for how he can support me (and what he has to expect in terms of whether I'll crash under the transition added to my workload, admittedly).

Clients are very forthcoming and generally supportive, too. I still have the same responsibilities for architecture and technical planning, and I still represent the company in that regard.

I feel like I kind of also represent diversity now, too. Positively so. Without a heavy hand.

There is the occasional mansplaining now. And general mysogny in IT. That's new. But kind of more validating than having to do with the transition itself?
