[quote="CynicalReality"]Hey I was wondering if you guys could help me with something. I haven't really started transitioning yet. All I do is cross dress now. Short hair, shop in the men's section, binding...you know the drill. I'm looking for a job and I've heard some horror stories about transpeople being discriminated at the workplace. I'm wondering if it would be better to present as female while looking for work. I'm far from starting my transition and I really need to start working. I've looked into my State laws and transpeople are well protected here in Oregon. But, I'm not sure if that really means anything. Sure there are laws but, they could just not hire me for that and say something else. Thank you in advance for your replies.[/quote] Heyyy. I live in Texas where trans people are definitely not protected at all, so my experience might not be helpful but .. you should definitely get a feel for the "air" of the place you're going to work at beforehand if you can. I ended up getting hired by Hobby Lobby, which is actually a Christian organization and they've had a long history of prejudice against LGBT employees AND customers. I knew this but I was desperate for a job. I was pre-T when I got it, so I figured I would dress femininely despite having short hair and all that. Everything was fine until I started transition, several months in. I started getting in trouble at work for the littlest things. And eventually I got fired, "mysteriously" enough when my voice decided to break. I found out later that there was really no good reason for them firing me beyond transphobia. I didn't come out at work because I knew they would fire me for it anyway, and there was nothing I could do. People I talked to were not just surprised but angry, because they said I had been a very good employee and others who had come before me who had far less than satisfactory work ethics and abilities had not been fired in such a manner. So this is what I think .. I think you should dress how you normally do. Because if you do manage to transition, it will make things a little less jarring for your employer. Also if they hire you as you are, they are probably less likely to be phobic in regards to presenting as more and more masculine if you do transition. AND after a while, dressing femininely is going to get on your nerves every day. Trust me on that one, eventually I stopped because it was such a pain and I felt awful about it. I know I gave a contrary answer from Q and I hope I haven't made things more difficult for you. This is just my experience. D:
