No longer being treated as the trans employee at work
I’ve been working since I was 16 and back then I was only in my social transition era. For 4 years I’ve been repeatedly asked what my pronouns are and what my genitals are while at work at multiple different jobs.
At the age of 21 I started a new job and I haven’t been asked once about anything gender or trans related. All I’ve been asked is work related questions.
When my supervisor came up to me and said “hey can I ask you a question?” I was preparing myself to answer about my gender but all she asked was if I could stay behind to cover for someone while he’s at a meeting.
That felt normal at the time but after I realized what happened I felt relieved and more confident in my new job. I’m no longer treated as the trans employee but as the newer and younger one. And knowing that feels great.
