is it cringe to tell someone you work with who you know is pro trans that you're transitioning when you look, sound, and present like a man with long hair?but i'm also committed to manmoding for the rest of my life so not sure if i should. i can't help but wonder what her reaction would be however.
>>44226116bump
>>44226116probably cringe
>>44226116Completely pointless, why do you want to do that?
>>44226725idk, a retarded part of me thinks it would be nice if one person in my life was supportive and accepting. but yeah it's a stupid idea
>>44226753Your brain failed you. Because you have not lived as a tranny yet you have not learned that 100% of cis people are transphobic. They have been taught to be transphobic and no amount of wokeness nor deprogramming nor learning about trannies can fix it. It is just a part of who they are.
>>44226753You should try making some non-work friends first
>>44226875i don't know what they think about trans people though
>>44226116Annecdotal, but I got outed to someone because I stood up to straight at work and she noticed my tits. Luckily, she's incredibly supportive and even has a trans kid. One other person noticed, but she's just kept her mouth shut about it, which I also appreciate. Even if I look like a freak for now since I still have a lot more work to do, it's nice having someone know me. I'll never get to present fem there, but having a friend who I at least know wouldn't try to lynch me over it has made it easier being there
>>44226931>I got outed to someone because I stood up to straight at work and she noticed my titshow did that interaction play out?
>>44226943She didn't say anything right away. I was out for two days, but like 15 minutes into my shift after I got back she just came up to me and asked me "Can I ask you a personal question?" I said sure because thatusually doesn't go anywhere, but she followed it up with "Are you transitioning?" Immediate fight or flight, but I just told her that she really shouldn't be asking stuff like that where we work. Then she made me explain to her what I meant, which was that the place is a conservative hellhole and I'd overheard people talking about killing trans people to which she got a bit more vocally supportive than I was comfortable with, but rightfully so because of her kid. I came back like an hour later after I'd stopped freaking out and we talked a bit more productively and now we're friends
>>44226116It's beyond pointless, it will be humiliating unless you're prepared to publicly socially transition. Just give it time and don't say anything to your coworkers, unless theyre your friends (and equals/peers) outside of work too.
