Mountaindewed I urge you to consult with an attorney pro bono before you reveal your transition to your workplace. If you don't, you could be fired. You need to go in, knowing all of your legal rights or you will get screwed. Count on it. People don't like change, esp. when one of their colleagues changes genders. I've seen it as a temp how cruel and sadistic workplaces can act towards the transgender person. They show no mercy. It's horrible. Do not think for a second, that everyone will be supportive of your change there either. You have to go in with thick skin. You need to come up with a plan.
