Hey OP! I transitioned later in life, early 30s and people only really noticed after about 1 year. I never changed my pronouns at work and have never mentioned it or confirmed/denied anything. You don’t owe people any explanation. You do owe yourself this, if it’s what you really want. Do not let your “career” stop you from being who you want to be for years, that’s just my conclusion. I’m gonna die soon, and like waiting for some nebulous time in the future when my transition would be perfect would be playing into their game. Screw them, and their norms. We are gonna show people that you can do this, be a kind soul, and still crush work. I just back off on the social things like I still go by masc. pronouns at work and dress masc, even with tits lol. I just wear sports bras and use the men’s room still.

Best of luck! My advice: don’t wait

After 1 year, not out officially. They both pointed out some physical changes and have not pressed the issue when i was a brick wall about the topic. They used to both make crude anti-queer jokes occasionally and that kinda stopped… My friends that I consider family are incredibly supportive! One day I might come out to my parents, but I don’t feel like I owe it to them and I just don’t like them much for about a decade now so it’s not a huge loss!

i_O is lovely
