transHi everyone.
I'm new to a lot of these groups and I'm also crossposting this. So please accept my apologies for my sudden, spammy start.
Sam, 24 year old ftm, pre everything. I'm hoping to start taking hormones in January. I've come out to friends and family and everyone overall has been very supportive and awesome. My final big hurdle is work.
I work at an elementary school. I'm not a teacher but I work in an after school program where I have my own classes. I know there's no reason I can't be trusted with these kids but I'm not ignorant as to the stigma that still surrounds the word 'transsexual' in some people's minds. I'm really worried about coming out at work, but I'm going to have to.
Has anyone ever come out in an environment like this? Any stories or advice to share?
