Transvox - Getting a Job as a Trans person - some thoughts!

Jenny and Gillian discuss the challenges and considerations for trans individuals getting a new job in the workplace, emphasising the importance of acceptance, open communication, and clear policies. They also explore the importance of dressing appropriately for different work environments, the potential benefits of staying in a job while transitioning, and the need for retraining in some job transitions.

They discuss the importance of dressing appropriately for different work environments, with a focus on the challenges faced by gender-fluid individuals during transition. The conversation also touched on the impact of clothing on remote work setups and the need to consider expected dress codes for specific roles or situations.

They discuss the dynamics of the job interview process and the need for open communication about accommodations required.

They highlight the skills and resilience that trans individuals possess, and emphasise the need for employers to recognise and appreciate these traits. They also discuss the lack of understanding and acceptance for non-binary identities. Both agree on the importance of being authentic and proud of one's identity, despite the challenges this can sometimes present.
