Heya, this is sekoumoja / zeldakestrel.. New journal now.

I've recently been thrust onto the job market and want to enter my next job more as myself.. I'm just really nervous / unsure how to bring something up with any future employer.. Should I fill out the application as per normal? Show up looking the opposite they expected? I have had times in the past where I'm on the phone and I give them my name and they keep calling me Miss or Ma'am.. And a few times at the bank where they didn't accept my ID, thought I was my sister trying to pull a stupid ruse; That was an interesting day. But I'm just not sure what the best / smartest way to bring this up with an employer who very well may need to educated on the sheer definition of "transgender" let alone any implications it may have with me as an employee? When I got my job at Vons I was pretty normal looking.. but now it's sometimes difficult for me to pass as a guy at all, so I would think it'd be easier to show an employer that I am not so strange in appearance as one might sterotypically assume.. Maybe it would be better not to even bring it up? I don't know..

Thanks for any tips you can give.

A question....

Please don't think I'm being rude, I just have no idea and wanted to get a real answer or as a real of an answer that there might be.

For example would a transgendered person assigned to be a woman at birth, but now identifies as male (pre-op) date women (even lesbian women)? I'm just trying to understand this is all. If someone could give me insight that would be wonderful. (I have heard some real half *ssed answers on this.) Thank you!!

Does anyone have any infomation (or know where I can find some) about the history of transgendered people?
I've heard a little that trans people were shamans, healers and/or diviners in many ancient cultures around the world and that they were revered and/or honored by many ancient cultures around the world.

anyone have anymore information on this?
Just out of personal curiosity really :)
