Cis male here. Your status isn't my business unless you choose to share it with me. If you tell me you're a trans woman, I'm going to consider you a woman....because that's what you are.
PC1 You can see my comment above but I still consider myself as someone who is learning - being much older than most of the people here.
What is the reason for “coming out” or “coming out more” at work? I would think that you shouldn’t and wouldn’t have to do anything. If you have a conversation with someone you’re getting to know as a friend, how you identify or who you live will simply happen like it has always done between two people. If you’re getting to know them and having conversations like that, there is already a level of trust that’s the foundation of friendship.
If you have someone at work who is an AH and tells gay/trans jokes, you can either ignore them or have some rehearsed come-backs that shut them down pretty hard.
I’mț an old white guy (well, half Cuban)) and I just feel like nobody needs to tell me anything they don’t want to.
Important last point… If you want to tell me about yourself as a friend - as an expression of joy - I think that’s awesome. 😎
I came out partially for mysrlf and partially for visibility for others. I've since helped a few other people come out at work.

I have to be out because I'm too clocky not to be, frankly.
My question (I’m not trans) would be: How is it possible not to be out at work? At least for trans folks that I know personally, they’re very much out. So do you mean dress in accordance with your identified gender in your spare time and come to work dressed in typical clothing for your sex at birth? I don’t know how this would work. I’m genuinely curious and not being cheeky here.
In addition to what was already said, some trans people are "stealth," and live as their chosen gender without disclosing to other people. This usually requires the trans person in question to pass as their chosen gender seamlessly enough that nobody is able to tell that they're trans.
I never see the point in talking about gender identity or sexual orientation at work. Unless someone asks for pronouns ya know.
Well do you feel comfortable acting like that? I mean who you are and what your personal sexual preference is like maybe you are hiding behind a facade. I may be totally wrong but I want you to be who you are and and be happy with yourself!
My brother is gay and he is a very strong, loving and happy gay man who has the most amazing husband in the world! He embraces who he is and is incredibly Amazing! But I hope you decide when, where and how you want people to know!
