Job Stuff

How big a deal is it being trans in the workplace? Mainly, I just want to know who will know and who's going to find out. In Washington, I can change my gender as soon as I have the money (it just takes a therapist's letter and I've had that for three months) but birth certificate can't get changed until I have surgery (perhaps an orchi works too). So figure that I pass, I have a changed name and gender on my driver's license but not on my birth certificate. Who will know what?

In general though, I want the fewest people to know about my past. I know true "stealth" is impossible and as far as my friends, I feel like I need to come out to them soon after I meet them so they all know. But outside of that safe circle, how safe from this can I be?

I didn't transition to be a "transsexual", I just want to be a girl -- to be myself. I'm just not sure how to do that.
