Coming out/addressing pronouns at new job
Hi y'all,
I started a new job last week and its been great. It is very inclusive, relaxed enviroment so I have no fears or danger coming out. I am one month on T but still very much look like a woman to most people despite dressing masc and having short hair. I also extremely suck at voice training so I still sound feminine. No voice drop yet. It sucks cause I think people just figure I'm a butch lesbian.
I am unsure when to really address pronouns at my new job. I've contemplated putting it in my signature in emails or wearing a they/them pin to at least bridge the gap (I identify as he/they so close enough). I also contemplated just waiting until its obvious and address it then. I'm new to this as I haven't really came out to anyone but my partner and my best friend. This is also my first job since realizing I'm trans.
Any tips or advice is appreciated!
