Subject: On leaving and References
Hi **Boss**.
I'm writing this in my last hour in the office. You won't get it till Monday though, due to your sudden departure. **Reference to event in office**.
I had actually wanted to have a brief word with you before leaving for good, hence my eagerness for an exit interview. Since that didn't arise however, I'll have to tell you like this. I'd have emailed you at a later date about this but chances are you wouldn't actually believe it unless it came from a trusted source. I figured the work email address counted as a trusted source.
You might have figured this out already from the list of websites I looked at which over time got picked off by the content filter one by one.
Although I haven't lied to you at all about my days off to visit doctors, I omitted one detail about the nature of some of them. As well as my congenital heart disease I am currently in the process of obtaining treatment for what is known in the medical community as gender dysphoria. To use the more common term you'll have heard from television, I'm transsexual, and currently seeking treament to have my physical gender reassigned to that of a woman.
This isn't relevant at all to the work I did at --**Comapny**-- but I think it's best to let you know now that at some point in the future I'll be having my name and status officially changed and as such if I'm still using you as a reference on my CV, you ought to know that the requests won't always be arriving for "**Full Male Name**".
I'm not sure how long it will take to get the legal side of things cleared up but it could be anything between a few months or a year or so before I start using my new name in an official capacity. When the time comes however, you will get references asking about a woman named "Stacy Gwen Smith" instead.
When this time comes I'd be very pleased if you could continue to respond with a reference for me, albeit with the name and gender specific pronouns updated (she instead of he, etc).
If you find this confusing or would like to know more (sadly the mass populace lacks understanding of gender reassignment - I blame the media) feel free to keep in touch. The best email to contact me on is **Stacy@Email**
I'll answer absolutely any questions you have, to help you grasp the concept of what I'm asking. Also you can call me on my mobile **Phonenumber** if you want to confirm anything I've written here over the phone.
Now that I've said all that, it's been an absolute pleasure working with you and I hope that if you need to roll out a new system again in a few years (or if you're looking for someone to write that intranet you're always talking about) you will give me a nudge.

Good message? I already sent it so it's too late to turn back now, but I'm totally rushing and wanting to know how much I just made my life easier/harder come transition time...
