Question for the troons, especially boymoders who are kinda obviously trans. How'd your cis coworkers act around you? Did you have any issues in interviews? Did any of you come out at work?

I've posted before about job hunting, but I haven't heard from many of you about your own experiences. Honestly, having to interact with coworkers has me extremely nervous. I am not a personable person, and I don't really want to become desu.
>>
i boymoded at a company that had a very right wing culture. i still looked mostly like a guy but it was obvious something was up. but people just ignored me for the most part. i heard some jokes behind my back but it was only about wearing satanic jewelry or having piercings and stuff. there was one lady who was really sweet to me though and my supervisor who came out to me and then i to him immediately started hitting on me. dude was 60 with a wife and kids.

>Did you have any issues in interviews?
I am killing myself.
I managed to get exactly one job after I began my transition and none other so far.
I almost got hired a few times in girlmode, but the moment I had to show my papers they magically changed their minds.
Tried to boymode, not one single offer, but for one position I managed to woo the employer on the telephone about some previous experience on this specific role and when I showed up in person got greeted with
>"it was YOU who I was talking on the phone with?"
>yes sir, is there a problem?
Still unemployed. Fucking burgerking ghosted me and I apply at Startbucks over and over again, but probably it's a ghost job because never had ONE single update from them.
>>
>>44482754
If you don't mind me asking, how old are you and how much experience. I've had two interviews so far, and no luck after the interview. I honestly thought one went really well.

I have three more interviews coming up, one at a library, and two at different credit unions. I'm early 30s, but I think I look trans at this point. People on here seem to think I look a bit like a pooner.

28 at this time. Been on HRT for about 6 years now.
No experience really outside some retail and factory work. I have a few certificates, but useless. Dropped out of college because I was in peak transition at that point and got targeted by some profs. Been on my luck ever since.
I would go back to finish my degree or would pursue some qualification courses, but no job means no money, no money means no courses, no courses means to job.

At this point I would be happy to get almost any job. Tried supermarkets, fastfood, call centres, factory work again, all in vain.

Some girl giggles at me

I dont know why

Also im still a loner at the job too and my only friend at work is a middle age chinese guy who keeps asking if i would like to go fishing with him

>>44482420
omg are you the tranny boymoder with the faggy haircut and the gay glasses who had an interview recently..
I interviewed as an obviously transsexual woman at my current job with a library. I pass pretty well, but I am very bad at doing things i need to so i haven't changed my legal name yet (8+ yrs hrt btw)..basically the interview went very well and I got the job pretty easily actually. I'm not the only transsexual woman either, so I guess i expected that. I'm treated basically like a woman here I think..
>>
>>44483457
Hehe yeah, caught me. My main worry with the library job is I live in a blue city and the library I have an interview with is in the red county that borders it. My city went 61% / 37% Harris / Trump and the county went 38.03% / 60.39%. Makes me wonder if even interviewing here is a bad idea :/

Go fishing with him already
Old Chinese fishermen know forbidden techniques

Imagine when you mog all the cisms at fishing you'll be able to hook up with any fish in the sea nahmean
>>
>>44483516
Check and see what library system the one you're interviewing with is part of. It might not be part of a system at all i guess..if its part of a larger library system though, then you can expect to be treated well by the employees there at least. I do think that most library workers are going to be pretty woke though

No idea, I've been looking for a job for two years by now. Two fucking years. Applying almost every day to every position that may even tangentialy match my skills.

I can't start saving for FFS, get better wardrobe or socialize because of this shit. Hell, even just having an established routine with irl social interactions would be beneficial for me at this point.

Got rejected literally today from a dream job I placed a lot of hope into. At this point I don't know how I haven't roped yet
>>
>>44483541
The county has a partnership with libraries in the surrounding counties, including my city. I'm a bit of a puss though. I really don't know how I'd react to confrontation from patrons. I'm kind of in hermitmode at the moment. Would love to work at a library though. All my experience is in education.
>>
>>44482886
That sucks nona, hope you find something soon :(
>>
>>44483592
Oh, with experience like that you're in a really good spot! I was scared of the same thing because I'm like a twinkhon and very scared of confrontation, but i havent had any bad or scary experiences in the 2 years ive worked here

>>44483626
That's good to hear. Here's hoping I get it. I'm tired of putting in applications desu.

Sorry to hear that nona. If you don't mind me asking, how do the interviewers act?

No idra, I have autism and am bad on reading social cues. Probably more of a reason for my misfortune than being trans because I don't even malefail ever

No worries, there's a trans girl on Reddit who is a CNA and posts in all the subreddits. Was just seeing if that was you :P

Uhhh it's kinda obvious for me at work now and people are really weird to me now they got like nicer to me but in a very walking on eggshells kind of way and they also seem to struggle on how they should refer to me despite the fact that I have not come out and still have my deadname on my apron. Also the two other trans women there have clearly clocked my shit but there's like this unspoken thing where we dont even acknowledge it. Idk i should just come out already but I'm fucking scared mannnn

My experience varies massively from workplace to workplace
In factory/manufacturing/warehousing, I just boymoded and people just thought I was kinda faggy, a couple of work friends I was close with I came out to, they were chill, but overall the workplace was more of a "keep your head down" type feel. There could be passive hostility (lunch break convos where people reveal their real beliefs not realising a tranny is among them) but I never experienced anything overt
I've also done a bit of retail and food service, usually not good because public facing and filled with a bunch of miserable people looking for something to blame for their lot in life, although it wasn't usually "hostile"
I work in domestic cleaning now, pink collar work, lucked out with the business owner because she's a "massive ally" (her words) and the company has a really good anti-discrimination/bullying policy. The company is almost entirely cis women, "boymoding" isn't really a thing because the uniform is standardised and no one cares. I just show up, light makeup (concealer and foundation for acne scars) and no one really notices or cares. Technically not out but I get gendered very ambiguously day to day. It's decent, I like it.

I've had friends in trades, most of them really resented it because trades filled with macho male dickheads, but one or two worked independently or lucked out with decent coworkers and were content enough

It just depends on what industry and what country/region/culture, and also lots of variance with individual workplaces
>>
>>44482420
Not trans just AGP
State government job in a liberal state that has gender protections for its workers
I grew my hair to shoulder length
Boss threatened to fire me for it as it was "unprofessional" despite some other guy with a beard in our same department having hair that goes halfway down his back
I think he thought I was just too feminine and he's a conservative guy
I didn't want to fight him so I cut him and started looking for a new job
Before I actually applied anywhere he got fired and I've heard he's facing jail time
My hair is great now and no one has complained

Or in other words if you've got a conservative boss you might have a problem but I don't think anyone else cares
>>
I tried boymoding at my first place of work and on the first day my coworker asked my pronouns and tranny name. I stopped boymoding after that because it was only making people more confused.

In interviews it wasn't a problem and the women interviewers seemed excited to work with me. However there was a poorer judgment of competence from certain HR people who have an unnecessary role in screening of new employees.

i also work as a minimum wagie in the library systems and haven't been hatecrimed yet as a moder. then again I'm tall and imposing...
>>
>>44482420
I have worked in a library for a few months, in boymode. Most of my coworkers were cis girls, there were only a few guys and amongst them was one pooner, but he was always hanging out with the girls. I was boymoding and they asked me what I prefer to be called so I just gave them a nickname instead of any of my names. They gave everyone name plates and mine had the nickname on it that I've asked for, it was a surprise because I didn't think that it would go this well. It was a really nice work space but people could tell that something was up with me, so other than my manager I didn't really hang out with anyone else. Everyone else was treating me nicely despite being able to tell that I'm a tranny. I could also use gender neutral bathrooms with no problem at all.
>>
I'm filling out apps and doing interviews for our move at the end of this month and it feels endless lol. My passoid gf got an offer from a world-renowned company in the city we are moving to, which is amazing, but i applied for another position there, did my online interview and it's been crickets for 6 days lol. I think im fucked :( i really dont wanna work at the mac donald

I'm not from the US, I'm from hungary, which is not a tranny friendly country at all. There aren't any areas that are concidered to be lgbt friendly, the place where I live is concidered to be pretty conservative

I basically only know about Hungary because of your petite fascist former leader. Are you guys experiencing the same trans panic shit that we are?

ended up coming out to my 17 year old male coworker because he does steroids and I wanted injection advice. he honestly did not care I was suprised. I joked he's mtm trans and hes continued giving me diy advice
>>
>>44487337
not anymore, there was a time when they were pushing a lot of propaganda against us for about half a year durring 2021, but it didn't really stick, regardless of that there is a transphobia in the society it just so happened that they didn't bite for the propaganda. Under our new president though there isn't any discrimination based on gender or sexuality so hopefully the country can move into a more positive direction
>>
>>44487308
kek, I honmoded in Budapest, Szekesfehervar and Kecskemet (!) this year. Nobody seemed to give a fuck.
>>44487337
Nta and not hungarian but I do follow their place very closely (decent grasp on the language too).
In short: No.
But then again Hungary doesn't have gay marriage and didn't have the crazy tranny politics between 2016 and 2026 so there simply isn't much to backlash to.
Of course, terminally online shutins who only go out during Budapest Pride (if that too) and who think anything less than paradise is oppression will claim something else.

Magyar Peter is Orban Viktor with a smiley face.
>Under our new president though there isn't any discrimination based on gender or sexuality
You mean prime minister.
TISZA didn't change a single law/regulation concerning lgbt. You're literally living under the same rules as under Orban.
It's all vibes for you.
>>
>>44487396
>Nobody seemed to give a fuck.
Most people are just minding their own business, but I did have some people who've made comments about me and such in public while boymoding, but luckly it wasn't a hate crime or anything
>didn't have the crazy tranny politics between 2016 and 2026
I don't really know what you meant, but changing your legal gender and name was possible, they took that away in 2020
>prime minister
yeah my bad, typo
>TISZA didn't change a single law/regulation concerning lgbt. You're literally living under the same rules as under Orban.
yeah which sucks, however I'm hoping that they'll change those soon, at least there isn't constant push back like there was in the orbán era. Magyar Péter supports the EU so I do think that there might be a chance for change. I don't really like the guy I just hope that he will revert the damage done in the orbán era to the trans rights
also I hope that you had fun visiting the country!
>>
>>44482420
As a fat ugly manmoder, no
>>
>>44487521
>Magyar Péter supports the EU
kek, it's incredible how much you people swallowed the propaganda. no different from the fidesz NPCs who think/thought that orban is keeping the war at bay.
sorry nona, but you're simply wrong. Magyar Peter (who is coming from the fidesz apparatus, mind you) will prioritize his own grifts and won't give a flying fuck.
and no, he wont revert the 2020 changes because there's no reason to do that either. he loses exactly nothing by just pretending the issue is not real. what are you going to do? vote for fidesz? :) Or maybe MKKP (desu I would've voted for MKKP if I had the right to vote in HU)
>I hope that you had fun visiting the country!
Biztos! I always have fun in magyarorszag. I show up at least 2 times a year and have been for 15 years or so.
>>
>>44487593
>sorry nona, but you're simply wrong
yeah fair, I don't follow politics like at all, no doubt that propaganda would get me, my bad. For all I know I just want my rights back
>there's no reason to do that either
yeah I know, I'm just trying to cope here. maybe the EU would pressure hungary or something I dunno
>Biztos!
That's amazing! I'm always very happy when I see someone who is interested in our country
>>
>>44487759
>maybe the EU would pressure hungary or something I dunno
they won't. willing to bet on that.
the next Commission (from 2029 onwards) is going to be even less interested. And ursula von der leyen still needs the FIDESZ votes in the european parliament. And, ultimately, the Hungarian society isn't pro-tranny. It's not anti-tranny the way britbongs or burgers are, but it's also not westoid progressive.
You might get some change in the school curricula debate because HU lost an ECHR case on that just a few months ago and it thus provides a good excuse for TISZA to purge Orban loyalists from education under the guise of reform. You won't get excessively lgbt-friendly changes, just a rollback of the "child protection" policies introduced during the last fidesz term.
>That's amazing!
Hungary is not my favorite place in eastern Europe, but it's a chill place. And Budapest during summer is really fun.
Also I'm a railways fan and you can't navigate east-Europe without passing through Hungary no matter what. Hence why I show up so often.

I've been working the same place for about a year now. For my interview they asked which spelling of my name so I gathered it was obvious of me since. It was very rough at the start, voice was a very difficult point to train and as I already had quiet issues it made struggles as communication is very imporrant in this workplace. Coworker and custoner would mock me at times, laugh as I tried to talk to them. It's hard but it made me want to try harder and escape such ridicule. Later one of my coworkers got attacked and I thought it would be good for my rep if I helped the bleeding instead of standing around like the others and panicking, I panicked after when the cops showed up. My boss took notice. Coworkers would ask me about tranny stuff ocasionally, one asked I think if I was nonbinary and I said no(i would never get better using a shield and denying myself that way). Due to the area the bathrooms are a two person job to open with like a door buzzer that unlocks it and over time more and more of the force would buzz the women's instead of the men's. I am good at my job and nice enough to be liked even if I am overtly strange, being someone work heavily relied on I assured myself was tranny job security and it has paid off. I have earned both respect and two raises in my time there so I can't complain. Sometimes my male coworkers interact with me in a bro way but I cant get upset at them for trying to make connection with me in the ways they know how.

I work physical security as a manmoder 7 years on hrt. Generally the people who end up working as security guards are pretty odd to begin with lol, I definitely do stand out, but everyone treats me well since I stopped binding my boobs honestly. It helps that I work in a pretty safe and orderly university environment tho. There are for sure places that would be unpleasant or even dangerous for me.

Sometimes I see a trans student, typically mtf, and it's hard not to feel sad.

Ironically I had a coworker with some nasty autoimmune bone marrow disease which basically feminized him (I know for a fact that he is not on hrt, he knows virtually nothing about any of this) so for a while we were two boob boys working at the faculty. Just that we got our boobs for wildly different reasons.
