Transgender at work

My first experience with a transgender was when I was about 13 years old. My mother was taking my brother and I to this guy to get our haircuts. The guy was named John, and he had long blonde hair and nails. I just though at the time he was different, I didn't know what gay people or transgenders were.

Then one day out of nowhere the guy tells us that his new name is "Jackie" and apparently the guy had the full-blown operation done to become a woman. My Dad found out about it and made my mother stop taking us there to get our hair cut. But I had no idea what a transgender or gay person even was until about 9th or 10th grade.

We didn't even know what the word "faggot" meant back then, it was just something we all called each other from time to time.

With your situation, here is what you need to remember; it's a different day and age. It doesn't matter what your opinion is on this person, if you treat them differently or if the place becomes a hostile work environment, you're going to see people lose their jobs. With all of the discrimination and fair labor practice laws in place today, you can bet a company will side with a minority before anyone else to save face. If you treat them any differently then it may be YOUR JOB ON THE LINE.

Your opinion doesn't matter and you're entitled to it, you just cannot show it or share it at work. I wouldn't talk about your personal views with coworkers at all.
 
Why not just ignore the he/she issue and address them by their name?

honestly, its just a person.. all that's different is how they're dressed. Avoidance will eventually become obvious and uncomfortable.
 
What's the problem? Call her by name. I don't understand why ppl make a big fuss about all these stuff :)

Unless a transgender/gay/lesbian harass me or try to do something that could place me in an uncomfortable situation... I couldn't care less of what they are or what they do.

I had plenty of gay men hitting on me in disco or parties, you just smile and say: I'm not interested. If he insists, then I'll explain clearly I don't want to be bothered, but in that case the problem is not him being gay it's him being a fucking asshole, so you deal with him the same you would deal with an eterosexual bothering you.

Talking to an person from the lgbt community doesn't make you gay or whatever.
 
Just let him or her or what ever it is. That you are in the process of becoming a unicorn . and should respect your wishes. There really is that movement. But on another note I say fuck all that shit. I would avoid them. We live in a age were we are over sensitive to peoples needs. The problem is nobody ever told them there wrong and whoop there ass. To me there is a fine line. Is it OK for pedo or beastalty because you have the need its a phycological issue. And they need to get there head checked.
On another note I never seem to understand they will give hormones no problem. Even at 13 But for any one who want to enhance there muscles or be a athlete its a no no and hormone's are deemed as bad and wrong!

Are you seriously fucking comparing a transgendered person to a pedophile or someone who fucks animals? The hell is wrong with you????
 
This is a stereotype, but one that has held true for all of my (known) encounters with transgendered men (who want to be women). They have all worn some kind of scent that triggers my allergies, which can literally incapacitate me in the span of a couple of minutes. Of course, my making a hasty retreat sets off their bigot alarm.

yes because all of it is a mental issue. it is not a need but a want. its all in there head.
they were not born that way. It was a choice. its a sickness in the head. and 9 of of 10 times some thing happend to them when they were young and never delt with. ive have had friends that were gay and when it comes down to it they all ways have a story. the movement is already here. i dont judge but im in titled to feel the way i do. i just turn my head and ignore

u serious? so you are like chinese that have clinic where they cure Gay ppl, torturing them and experimenting on them with drugs and electroshock because they can CURE THEM.
You gotta be fucking kidding me.

I'm not saying you aren't entitled to feel how you feel but your entitlement carries consequence as I'm allowed to feel how I feel about your feelings on the issue.

Pedophiles have sex with minors dude. A minor cannot legally consent to sexual relations with anybody so what a pedophile does is RAPE a child. Are you saying transgendered people as a whole rape anyone? Are they harming innocent children like oedophiles do????? That's just ignorance.

You know absolutely nothing about gender identity disorder and your post shows it clearly. Brain scans have shown, pre treatment and post, that their brains match the gender they're trying to assume and NOT the gender they were born. You insistence that they aren't born that way is without merit and an ignorance based assumption.

Furthermore, saying its a sickness in the head is ridiculous. Yes it's a brain issue but it's not a sickness. If you would like to think it is then we here are also all sick in the head for not being happy with the body given to us by nature/God (whatever you want to believe in). Bottom line is you and your brain are just as sick as them :)
 
I am not dealing with transgendered in my life right now, but if I did work with one, then I'd would treat them just like any other human until they prove that they don't deserve my respect. It doesn't matter to me when they prefer as long as they good people. This may be easier for me to accept because I've grown up with and around gays and lesbians due to my wife.
 
No. I accept who they are. I don't judge. But yes it is a choice and there is a root reason why they are the way they are. Or just a sexual fantasie not all things are ment to be played out in real life. Ask one of your gay friends if they can see there self growing old with a man. And they always say no ways. Just because you have some fantasy or a urge to change to a women or be with a man. All things in life are a choice which make it a want not a need. I want to do a lot of things but it will not cause me to die or be I'll because I don't. Plain and simple
 
Just treat them with the respect and dignity you would treat any of your other coworkers. No need to make an issue out of it or walk on egg shells around them; just call them by their preferred name and use their preferred pronouns, and move along with your day.

It took a couple days to get used to using the correct pronoun. Because habit has always been to say he. But she doesnt get upset if someone uses the wrong one, which makes it easier. So no issues here anymore.

BRB asking my married gay friends if they think they are going to stay with their partners their entire life or its just a phase or a fantasy. Get the outta here with that choice shit. Nobody makes a choice to join a persecuted minority because they all of a sudden want to bang a dude/chick, and then latter turn back straight.

I never read so much retarded stuff in one post, like I just did.
You probably never talked with a gay person, because the utter crap shit that is spilling from your fingers it's making my eyes cry a river of blood.

what a nonsense srsly, sexual fantasies? they always say NO WAYS? who have you fucking talk with? imaginary friends?

If its a choice, can you chose to be gay for a day? I've never tried, but I know I can't no matter how much I try, I just can't. Somethings in life is not a choice. Can you choose to kill innocent people? I know I can't....I've tried (they weren't innocent), but I couldn't do it.
