Work place issues have been bad from the past to good.Lucky to work at a semi truck repair shop that treats me well.Before I worked at 3 different work places that I went through a lot.First one,the guys harassed me and were nosey about me.It was 2 years of misery there.This ex boss fired them and then rehired back in.2nd shop,a year and a half of hell I went through.One co worker there sexually assaulted me twice which I did report it to the cops and He is serving time for that.Other co workers harassed me there and it was hell.I did get out of there,sued the owner and got a good settlement out of them.3rd one,original owner was good to me and sold out.New owner treated me like crap and bullied me.I ended up with PTSD from these two prior shops.The place I work at now,boss and my co workers treat me right and see me as a woman.They learned about me,I lived an unhappy life before I transitioned and have told me that I am like any normal person.
Of course you are normal, hun! So sorry that you had to go through all that pain to get to a shop where you are respected. Unfortunately, there are still neanderthals in the world. I am glad things are better for you now. I was already retired when I transitioned, so I manage to avoid the workplace transition experience.
