Reply To: Are you “Transgender” or “Woman” (or “Man”)?

Hi Maria,

If I read you correctly: you were very drunk and told your top two levels of supervisor that you were transgender?  Just a word of caution: Getting drunk with your supervisors is rarely a good idea.  A sober discussion on the same topic might work or not, but a drunken one is fraught with bad o0utcomes.

Transgender desires unfulfilled are often associated with heavy drinking.  Mine was!  My wife finally made me see a doctor about it.  I am not sure my wife’s desired results were: “I don’t drink anymore, but I am a girl!”

Seek transgender counseling, but also seek help to control the drinking, especially with your supervisory chain-of-command.
