Today I am going to work for the first time without binding and while actually wearing a supportive bra that is not hiding anything... I'm scared. Wish me luck everybody.

Job offer issues

[jennyemily.livejournal.com]

Dilhemma.

I applied for a job a long time ago, and it seems they held my details on file. Lo and behold they find a job they think I'm perfect for and ring me up to offer me it. So far so good, of course.

But there's a catch. There's always a catch.

I applied for it so long ago that it wasn't me who applied for it, but rather my former identity. In short they have no idea that I am trans, and perhaps more importantly living fulltime as female. This would not normally a problem, as I would accept the job, turn up on day one with my lovely letter from my consultant psychiatrist and my Deed Poll and they would be stuck with me. However the job is subject to me completeing a health questionairre, and they want to get a medical report from my GP too just to make sure I am not some walking collection of desease and malingeringness.

Meh - they'll find out I'm trans before they make the offer firm, which might cause an awkward moment or too. For a start my medical records show me as a female called Jennifer Emily. If they request my medical records in my old name, then they're going to be asked "Who? Never heard of them" by my health centre. He hasn't existed since before I moved here. Dilhemma.

So where do my rights sit? The job offer is subject to satisfactory medical reports and the return of the questionairre. Being trans shouldn't be a reason for them to withdraw the offer, but what should I do if the job offer mysteriously vaporises into the ether without trace?

For the record the job is with a UK government department in Newcastle.

Help and advice needed really; how best to handle this?
