Thank you for sharing your experience Kaiya, I honestly cant imagine myself being able to do what you have. Maybe if I had a ‘career’ rather than just a job, and had been employed by the same company for a long as you have, it would be worth considering.
My doctor knows of some progressive companies locally that he has dealt with in the past, so that could be an option too.
Your transition at work sounds like it has gone very well, I’m so happy for you. The whole female social dynamic is quite different, so I doubt that the comments about how you are dressed are anything other than normal, but I imagine it would seem a little disconcerting when you aren’t used to it. I cant remember the last time a male friend ever did that!
