Let me apologize in advance as I'm sure I could go back in time and find a post about this topic. But there maybe new gurls here who will benefit, and you all always have something interesting to contribute.
I started a new job recently. With the pandemic no one goes into the office, although I can and have a few times now. The office space is huge, and I've seen maybe 5 other people there at the same time, way more than spread out. That's not my point however.
I've been thinking lately about buying womans slacks, maybe a blouse or two, and wearing at least the slacks (with hose, etc), to work. Part of starting the new job requires a number of training modules be completed. One having to do with equity and understanding in the workplace. Race, ethnicity and of course gender were emphasized in the training, using case studies. One such study was of a man who was interviewing for a job. He was one of the final and strongest candidates, until he showed up for a final interview dressed in woman's clothes. He was quickly "discounted" and not hired. He was able to successfully sue the company for discrimination.
This all made me feel like the company is very accepting. They are certainly diverse, and I've only meet colleagues on line, only one in person. My boss who is a younger male. I'm thinking long and hard about this, and may do this soon when I know not many people will be at the office. Just takes courage, lots of courage.
Anyway that is what I wanted to say.
Love and Hugs, Ladies!
Rebecka!
I wish you all the courage in the world! Be sure to tell us how it went!
Hi Beth!
I will. It may take time!
Thanks!
I am lucky enough to work from home full time, even pre COVID and only have to go to the office whenever it’s necessary or if I want. That’s lucky as it’s 3 trains+2 buses and 3.5 hours away from my house! This enables me to dress for the working day most days unless I have a huge number of video based meetings.
One thing I will say is the ‘official’ company policy may be that of equality, diversity and all the other good things but the reality in terms of your immediate team may be quite different. The company likely have to say they are all those good things to be compliant with employment law, equal opportunities etc.
Please don’t misunderstand me. I think this new beginning is a golden opportunity to have your co-workers introduced to Rebekka as early as possible instead of having to get used to male mode suddenly being femme. In that light, I think you should definitely go for, I just wanted to mention a word of caution.
Blimey, I wish I had the courage to turn up my workplace dressed! It’s not even a typical male environment, but I’ve been there 20 years (only 1 of the original 3 to start on day 1) so I might have some additional work to do get to that point.
Slacks and hose a great for starters.
I really hope this new start is everything you want it to be.
Love Rachel
With your new job, just be open.
I recently started volunteering for a charity. On my first day there a few weeks back, one of the girls was wearing a rock band T-shirt. I told her that I had the same T-shirt, and how great it look with my black denim skirt. She laughed. I said "seriously, it does", and promptly showed her a picture on my phone. She said that I looked great, and should wear it to "work" one day. I won't but she, and those around us, now know about me. Should I decide to turn up in female clothing, it won't be a shock.
Plant the seed and let it grow.

Sounds exciting you should give it a try. I wish I had a job that was accepting of my dressing. I’m so excited for you.
Rebekka, I am almost at that same point.. so close to staying en femme at work.. though for me im by myself, except for driving from point to point if that counts as going “public”. Please keep us posted, other girls doing this is an encouragement to us gals waiting in the wings..
❤️💖
Hi Rebekka nice to meet you and happy you have the courage to go thru with this as like im in a part of my area that would never happen no acceptance here .. Just Stephanie and my wife and of coarse You girls know of Stephanie so that means the world My wife is very supportive and loved as my wife and a sweet friend to Stephanie .. just please keep us in your loop as to how it goes and good luck ..
