Changing rooms

Discussion

Ladies, I need some input from you all. I'll keep it short and sweet. I'm a trans woman working in a paper mill as an industrial mechanic/millwright. I haven't come out yet, but will be in the very near future. I'm not gonna lie, changing with the men is both disgusting and draining. They smell, they're ignorant and it makes my mental health worse than it is. I don't want to be there after I come out cause that will be even MORE awkward. Do I want to use the women's change rooms? Absolutely. Am I very conscious that it will make people uncomfortable? Yes even more. I don't want to do that to other women.

So I guess my question is, how would you all feel about a trans woman in your change rooms/bathrooms? Especially if she is newly out and very few changes have happened from hormones? I know you can't speak for the women at my work, I just want some honest opinions and to see the various inputs.

Thanks!
