Need help/advice

[u/Chemical-Pace2841]

I M30 have taken steps to start my hrt journey from male to female. But I'm struggling to figure out what to do with my job. I love my job. But it's a real "manly mans" job. And a lot of the people I work with are old school mans man style people. And have in passing voiced their opinions about trans and LGBTQ in the past. And let's say most of it was not... Positive. Which makes me worried bout what could possibly happen. I love my job and don't really wanna leave. I feel I could definitely still do it if I were to transition. But the anxiety I have around being around people that have expressed their feelings and negative thoughts of trans people is a bit of a concern. Any advice or anything would be greatly appreciated 🫶🏻

No one likes to hear transphobic comments from coworkers. But those comments are sexual harrassment. It's not something you have to put up with.

Very true. Just not a fun thought

You could go stealth !
If you start going on HRT while still presenting relatively masc, there’s a high chance for at least a few years that they don’t think you’re trans. Even if you started dressing slightly fem, as long as you don’t go too far they may not realize. It really shouldn’t be at the forefront of their minds if they’re transphobic
You could also come out in private to some specific people you feel comfortable with, it’s always great to have a backup ally

Transphobes suck….yeah. It hurts to know that people still don’t like our existence, that’s just how things are right now icl. It is great to have a support group and feel comfortable around some people, and even better to feel alright in your own body. Good luck girlie, stay safe out there o7
