(Seemed like this needed repeating)

This thread made me think of a few things, that have kept me in
good stead in my years in the workplace. I hope some of it will be
useful to someone.

Things a person can do to stay off the radar in the first place:

1. Have your paperwork in order, if all your documents are gender
and name congruent, if you are "who you are supposed to be", that
can keep your name out of peoples mouths.

2. The harsh reality is the better a person can "pass" the more people
will leave you alone. I fully realize that’s unfair and cruel, but it is
factual. Whatever you can do to help that process, do so. Also if a girl
wears provocative clothing, she should try to leave the "hoochie" look
till Friday, and try to wear what women her age in that company wear.

If you need "work- cosmetic procedures", start saving your money
and on a long holiday, get it done. But, don't leave work on Friday
a 36A, and come back Monday a 40DD, if you must do that, try it
in winter, and then keep the “girls” under a bulky sweater.

3. Don't confide your situation to the first person, or any person who
befriends you, unless there is a very compelling reason to so.

4. KNOW YOUR JOB, DO YOUR JOB. "The business of America,"
President Calvin Coolidge said in 1925, "is business." Companies are in
business to make money, if you are helping them do that, then you are
cool with them. If you have a million doctors appointments, or your
"mones" are giving you mood swings, you will need to "twerk" it out.

Along those lines if you have a less than stellar history, firm it up, no
you won't be making $300 per hour but a prospective employer needs
to see some sort of work history. As regards legal mattters, request
your records so that you will know what an employer will see when they
look at your records, and you may want to look into having them sealed.

5. Finally, “DON’T fuck the help”. Yeah, I know Ray-Ray, down on the
loading docks is “fine”. And he is always taking his shirt off, and his
muscles gleam from sweat when he’s working. But when something
goes wrong in your relationship, he will put your business on “Front
Street”.
